Notifications

Notify was built primarily to use with Slack's Incoming webhooks, but will also deliver a simple payload to any endpoint. This is currently only active for the npm publish command.

Usage

An example with a HipChat, Stride and Google Hangouts Chat hook:

Verdaccio supports any API, feel free to add more examples.

Publisher

You can get access to the package publisher information in the content of a webhook using the publisher object.

See below the publisher object type:

{
name: string,
groups: string[],
real_groups: string[]
}

An example:

notify:
method: POST
headers: [{'Content-Type': 'application/json'}]
endpoint: https://usagge.hipchat.com/v2/room/3729485/notification?auth_token=mySecretToken
content: '{"color":"green","message":"New package published: * {{ name }}*. Publisher name: * {{ publisher.name }} *.","notify":true,"message_format":"text"}'

Note: it's not possible to get the publisher information if the package.json file already has the publisher property.

Package Published

You can access to the package is being published with the keyword {{publishedPackage}} as follows.

{{ publisher.name }} has published {{ publishedPackage }}
