      I have one module which collects user data from somewhere. Once the data is collected how can I send notification to another module.
      I can use MM.getModules().
      But then How can I send notification.

      In Simple terms: Notify module A from module B
      Thanks in advance

        modula

        this.sendNotification("NEW_STUFF", {foo: "bar"});
        

        modulb

        notificationReceived: function(notification, payload, sender){
          if(notification === "NEW_STUFF" && sender === "modula"){
            //handle the payload: {foo: "bar"}
          }
        }
        

        Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

            Okay, so its more of a broadcast to all modules, not to any specific…right?

              That’s right. This command sends out a broadcast to all modules. As long as you use a broadcast notification no other module reacts on you don’t have any trouble.

                It seemed the sender is now a object not only a string with several properties. Therefore this code snippet has changed a little by sender to sender.name:

                notificationReceived: function(notification, payload, sender){
                  if(notification === "NEW_STUFF" && sender.name === "modula"){
                    //handle the payload: {foo: "bar"}
                  }
                }
