Receive notifications content (client side hook)

[josef]

Hello, I want to write a client-side code, which is received when a new message is pushed to the notifications panel:

And getting the content of the message (title and content) [I want to add an app.alert that will show the content of the message even without opening the notifications pane].
The appropriate hook is probably "action: notification.updateCount", but I printed the data and event on the console and checked the output, and did not find how I could get the content and title of the message.

@baris I wrote here and not on github, as you said

I don't think there is a client side hook that has that data, but you can use the actual socket event to catch the notification like this.

socket.on('event:new_notification', function (data) {
  console.log(data);
});

@baris Thanks, it's great!
Although posting about a new post as posts does not work well, but not terrible ...
Maybe there is a list of socket events?
I wish I could get as much information as possible on my own, without asking here over and over again ...

You can by looking at the source code, search for socket.on/hooks.on/$(window).on in the source code to see the different event handlers.

@baris Can you give me an example of such a line in the source code? Of a socket event

Here is the one for the notification event https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/blob/master/public/src/client/header/notifications.js#L28

@baris OK, I thought it should be in the same file...
What did you mean by hooks.on?
Could you perhaps give an example of this as well?
Thanks...

Here is one https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/blob/master/public/src/app.js#L55 hooks.on is used mostly in plugins to listen for client side hooks. There are places in core that use hooks.fire to trigger the event.

@baris I see that in the notification about a new post on topic, the username that responded comes as user id.
How do I make it the username?

[josef]

Now I see that you can just use the "bodyShort" flag and it works.
But it will still be interesting to know how to turn user-id into a username ...
