@frigear-nu/notify

Generic notification driver/dispatch Nuxt module. Lets feature modules (e.g. @frigear-nu/users) dispatch email/SMS/simple notifications without ever deciding how they're delivered - that choice (and configuration) belongs to the app/consuming layer.

Quick Setup

Other modules declare @frigear-nu/notify as a moduleDependency, so it's installed automatically wherever they're used - you don't need to add it to modules yourself unless you want to configure it.

Configuration

Configure the module via the notify key in nuxt.config.ts. Every notification type (email, sms, simple) defaults to the built-in log driver (logs instead of sending):

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  notify: {
    email: {
      // Name of a built-in driver (`'log'`, the default - logs instead of sending) or a path to
      // a function (default export) matching the `EmailDriver` signature, for a real provider
      // (Resend, SMTP, ...).
      driver: '~/server/utils/resend-email-driver',
    },
    sms: {
      // Same idea, matching the `SMSDriver` signature, for a real provider (Twilio, ...).
      driver: '~/server/utils/twilio-sms-driver',
    },
    simple: {
      // Same idea, matching the `SimpleDriver` signature, for generic push notifications.
      driver: 'log',
    },
  },
})

Only the configured driver for each notification type is ever resolved/loaded.

In-app toasts are not part of this module: call useToast() from Nuxt UI directly.

Example Custom Driver

// server/utils/resend-email-driver.ts
import type { EmailDriver } from '@frigear-nu/notify/types'

const sendWithResend: EmailDriver = async (notification) => {
  // ... call your provider's API with notification.to/subject/body/text
}

export default sendWithResend

Usage

Server-side dispatch

dispatchEmailNotification, dispatchSMSNotification, and dispatchSimpleNotification are auto-imported server-side wherever this module is installed:

await dispatchEmailNotification({
  to: user.email,
  subject: 'Welcome!',
  body: '<p>Thanks for signing up.</p>',
  text: 'Thanks for signing up.',
})

await dispatchSMSNotification({
  to: user.phone,
  body: 'Your verification code is 123456.',
})

await dispatchSimpleNotification({
  title: 'New signup',
  text: `${user.email} just signed up.`,
})

Built-in email drivers: resend, ses, cloudflare

Zero dependencies and zero config beyond environment variables - each driver talks to its provider with plain fetch (SES requests are signed with AWS SigV4 via Web Crypto). The driver and its credentials are read at runtime, so you can switch providers per environment without rebuilding:

NUXT_NOTIFY_EMAIL_DRIVER=resend   # log (default) | resend | ses | cloudflare
NUXT_NOTIFY_EMAIL_FROM="Frigear <[email protected]>"

# resend
NUXT_NOTIFY_EMAIL_RESEND_API_TOKEN=...

# ses (v2 API)
NUXT_NOTIFY_EMAIL_SES_REGION=eu-west-1
NUXT_NOTIFY_EMAIL_SES_ACCESS_KEY_ID=...
NUXT_NOTIFY_EMAIL_SES_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=...
NUXT_NOTIFY_EMAIL_SES_SESSION_TOKEN=...   # optional, for temporary credentials

# cloudflare (Email Service)
NUXT_NOTIFY_EMAIL_CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID=...
NUXT_NOTIFY_EMAIL_CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN=...

Setting notify.email.driver in nuxt.config.ts to one of these names only changes the default; the env var still wins. A missing credential fails the send with an error naming the variable to set. Any other driver value is still treated as a path to a custom EmailDriver.
