notification system in javascript

To create a notification system in javascript, we can utilize the browser's built-in functionality for notifications. Here's an example code snippet using the Notification API:

index.tsx
// Check if notifications are supported
if (!("Notification" in window)) {
  console.log("This browser does not support desktop notification");
}

// Request permission to show notifications
else if (Notification.permission === "granted") {
  // Create notification
  var notification = new Notification("Hello, world!");
}

else if (Notification.permission !== 'denied') {
  Notification.requestPermission().then(function(permission) {
    // If the user accepts, create notification
    if (permission === "granted") {
      var notification = new Notification("Hello, world!");
    }
  });
}

// Handle click event for notification
notification.onclick = function(event) {
  event.preventDefault(); // Prevent default browser action
  window.focus(); // Bring window into focus
};

In this code snippet, we first check if notifications are supported. If they are, we check if permission has already been granted. If so, we create the notification. If permission has not yet been granted, we request permission, then create the notification if permission is granted. Finally, we handle the click event for the notification, bringing the window into focus when the user clicks on the notification.

Note that the user must first grant permission to the website to display notifications. You should also customize the notification contents to suit your specific use case.
