Ruby framework for keeping all types of notifications (mailers, push notifications, whatever) in one place

Github

Overview

Active Delivery is an innovative framework designed to streamline the process of managing notifications within Ruby on Rails applications. Recognizing the need for a unified communication method for alerts—whether they be emails, push notifications, or other channels—Active Delivery offers a single interface to handle all notification mechanisms. This tool not only simplifies the notification logic but also enhances testability, making it easier for developers to maintain and extend their applications.

With the release of version 1.0, Active Delivery has been bundled with Abstract Notifier, offering developers an efficient way to create custom notifiers tailored to their specific business needs. Its flexibility allows for compatibility with both Rails applications and those built without Rails, making it a valuable asset for any Ruby developer focused on user engagement through notifications.

Features

  • Unified Notification Interface: Active Delivery provides a single abstraction layer for managing different types of notifications, such as emails and push notifications, all in one place.

  • Flexible Use Cases: While primarily optimized for Rails 6+, it can also function independently without Rails or ActiveSupport, catering to a broader audience of developers.

  • Efficient Notification Management: The Delivery class helps organize and trigger notifications seamlessly, allowing you to notify users without worrying about the underlying mechanics.

  • Automatic Proxying: Simplifies the notification process by automatically inferring the necessary mailers and notifiers, reducing the need for boilerplate code.

  • Customizable Logic: Developers can define their custom notification methods within the delivery classes, allowing for additional specific functionality if necessary.

  • Organizational Flexibility: Supports different codebase structures, such as flat or sidecar patterns, allowing developers to choose how to manage their delivery and notifier classes effectively.

  • Configuration Options: Offers robust configuration settings, like disabling automatic behavior, which provides developers with granular control over how notifications are managed.

  • Testing Support: Active Delivery makes notifications easier to test, enhancing overall application reliability through better-organized notification logic.
