How to use the Alert module?

[keineAhnung123]

Hello,

Module: https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/alert.html

Is it possible to show an alert via notification?
I can send notifications with for example MMM-Buttons.
Is there an example anywhere?

Thank you :)

MMM-Buttons

you could do something like this below. I did not tested it my self and it based on documentation of both MMM-Buttons and Alert module.

{
	pin: 24,
	name: "alert",
	longPress: {
		title: "Show Alert",
		message: "Keep pressed for 3 seconds to show alert",
		imageFA: "alert image here",
		notification: "SHOW_ALERT",
		payload: { 
   				  type: 'notification',
   				  title : 'Title of notification', 
				  message : 'Message text here',
   				  timer : 3000 
				}
	},
	shortPress: undefined
}
