Manage Windows notification icons with Elixir

If available in Hex, the package can be installed as:

1. Add win_notify to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

   def deps do [{:win_notify, "~> 0.0.1"}] end

2. Ensure win_notify is started before your application:

   def application do [applications: [:win_notify]] end

1. Define a module and invoke the notify_icon/2 macro. Optionally you can use defalert/3 to create shortcuts for an alert you expect to use a lot: ``` defmodule MyIcon do import WinNotify @icon Path.expand("../path/to/icon.ico", DIR)

   notify_icon "My Icon", @icon do
   defalert :welcome, :info, "Welcome ~s!" defalert :unexpected, :warning, "Expected value to be ~f, but got ~f" defalert :not_found, :error, "~s not found" end end ```

2. Add MyIcon to your applications supervision tree:
   def start(_type, _args) do import Supervisor.Spec, warn: false children = [ worker(MyIcon, []]) ] opts = [strategy: :one_for_one, name: MyIcon.Supervisor] Supervisor.start_link(children, opts) end

3. Create balloop tip alerts or use alert shortcuts: iex> MyIcon.info("Info", "This is an info alert.") iex> MyIcon.warning("Warning", "This is a warning alert.") iex> MyIcon.error("Error", "This is an error alert.") iex> MyIcon.not_found(["Video"]) iex> MyIcon.welcome([user.name])
