Notifier
========

[](#notifier)

Wrapper of sorts for various notify systems, mainly useful for CLI scripts in PHP

Why?
----

[](#why)

Mainly because I was bored, and I wanted to better grasp some of the OOP and advanced PHP techniques. Plus, I find it useful to show notifications for some stuff.

To Do
-----

[](#to-do)

- Possibly build more notifiers but who knows... I only really use notify-send.
- Make the argument passing a bit more dynamic (this is where keyword arguments like in Python would be handy)

How To Extend
-------------

[](#how-to-extend)

The `src/EricHansen/Notifier/notifiers/Notify.php` file gives a good example of what's involved. All that needs to be done really is:

- Extend the \\EricHansen\\Notifier\\NotiferBase abstract class
- Handle the arguments passed in \_\_construct()
- Do any formatting and such in run()
- Optionally return the status of the command in run()
