Examples

Generate a push notification using Bash

Define a function nf::pushover:

nf::pushover() {
  if [[ "$#" -ne 2 ]]; then
    my::carp 'Error calling function!'
    return 1
  fi

  for var in PUSHOVER_{APP_TOKEN,USER_KEY}; do
    if [[ -z "${!var}" || "${!var}" =~ ^[a-zA-Z0-9]$ ]]; then
      my::carp "Error finding Pushover related var: ${var}!"
      return 1
    fi
  done

  if ! curl --fail --silent --ssl-reqd \
    --form-string "token=${PUSHOVER_APP_TOKEN}" \
    --form-string "user=${PUSHOVER_USER_KEY}" \
    --form-string "title=$1" \
    --form-string "message=$(cut --characters="1-$((250 - ${#1}))" <<<"$2")" \
    --form-string "priority=0" \
    --form-string "timestamp=$(date '+%s')" \
    'https://api.pushover.net/1/messages.json'
  then
    my::carp 'Error sending Pushover message!'
    return 1
  fi
}

Define the environment:

PUSHOVER_APP_TOKEN='**********'
PUSHOVER_USER_KEY='**********'

Call the function with two arguments (title and message):

nf::pushover 'Test Pushover' 'This is a Pushover test!'
