Growlr

Give your rails apps growl based notifications. Basically a rails plugin wrapper for Stan's excellent jGrowl library. This is a nice alternative to static flash messages, plus it integrates with all flash messages automatically, no need to output flash messages in your view!

Requirements

• Jquery 1.2.6
• Cookies should be enabled --it should be by default

Installation

1. rake growlr:install:all

2. include the following snippet in your layout or view file, preferably in the head section of your layout file.

   <%= include_growlr %>
   

Usage

Growlr will automatically detect flash messages and display them accordingly. You can explicitly call Growlr by writing the following in your action or controller:

 growl "hello peoples"

You can also pass the same options as the jgrowl plugin.

Todo's

• work on the yml processing for the config files - should have support for multiple configs in one yaml file
• write the functional specs
