Support chrome.notifications

[himdel]

This adds a basic chrome.notifications support:

• a showNotification option is added, defaulting to false

• popupErrors changed from array of html strings to array of {html, text, subtext} objects

• when showNotification is true, a desktop notification is shown for any non-ignored errors:

---

This is probably still missing code to destroy the notifications. Also, it looks like it behaves differently (ie not at all) for console.error, a missing hook somewhere?

If there's any interest in this, we could also look into click actions, and respecting more of the options which affect only the HTML popup now.

Sorry, but I'm not sure I understand what is the benefit of showing chrome standard notifications comparing to icon+HTML popup. Chrome popups can display only limited length of text + it will be very annoying if there will be many errors --> many popups.

Some previous version of JEN already has Chrome popups, but then I've removed it.

Anyway, thanks for you effort!

No problem :).

Myself, I don't like the icon because it obscures part of the page and doesn't even work for me (#54), but more importantly, I want to see the error immediately, whereas the icon just tells me there's been one, and I want it to disappear if I'm doing other stuff ... which is a perfect use case for notifications :).

(I tried to use JNote for a while, but that is missing localhost filter/whitelisting. and is not opensource.)

I'll probably fork the extension then, remove the icon stuff I wasn't using, clean up the global/local setting distinction which confused me, and just make it a "show chrome notification for whatever errors appear in the console (with some filtering)" thing :).

There is a global option that enables popup to be displayed automatically, and you can hide it clicking on Close icon.

I really don't understand what is the problem. Sorry.
