This app provides a backend and frontend for the notification API available in Nextcloud. The API is used by other apps to notify users in the web UI and sync clients about various things. Some examples are:
- 📬 Federated file sharing: You received a new remote share
- 📑 Comments: Another user mentioned you in a comment on a file
- 🚢 Update notification: Available update for an app or nextcloud itself
- 📣 Announcement center: An announcement was posted by an admin
To set up this app for development, you need to run make dev-setup from within the app´s root folder. If anytime later you need to rebuild the javascript files the quicker make build-js is enough.
For information how to make your app interact with the notifications app, see Sending and processing/"mark as read" notifications as a Nextcloud App in the wiki.
If you want to present notifications as a client, see Reading and deleting notifications as an Nextcloud Client.
