💡 Examples

Example 1: Basic Success Notification

A standard success message using the default minimal style.

exports['ak47_lib']:Notify({
    title = "PURCHASE COMPLETE",
    description = "You bought a **New Vehicle** for `$50,000`.",
    type = "success",
    position = "top-right",
    sound = true
})

Example 2: Minimalist "Glow Dot" Style

Ideal for clean UIs where icons are too distracting.

exports['ak47_lib']:Notify({
    title = "GPS Update",
    description = "A new location has been marked on your map.",
    style = "glow-dot",
    type = "inform",
    position = "bottom-left",
    duration = 5000
})

Example 3: Complex "Stream" Style with Animation

Great for high-action alerts or system-wide broadcasts.

exports['ak47_lib']:Notify({
    title = "System Alert",
    description = "The facility is under lockdown!\n*Proceed to the nearest exit.*",
    type = "error",
    style = "stream",
    icon = "fa-radiation",
    iconAnimation = "spin",
    position = "top-center",
    duration = 10000
})

ℹ️ Features

• Duplicate Handling: If a notification with the same title and description is sent while one is already active, a "x2" badge will appear and the timer will reset rather than cluttering the screen.

• Night Mode: Backgrounds automatically shift opacity and color based on in-game time (dimming between 21:00 and 06:00) to reduce eye strain.

• Interactive Dismiss: Players can click on any notification to dismiss it instantly.
