Extending Notification Types¶
Sometimes, there is a need to extend an existing notification type with new properties, or override the existing default template with some new ones.
If you want to extend an existing notification, say, SampleEmailNotification
, you need to complete the following steps.
Create a new notification class based on the notification type you want to extend:
public class ExtendedSampleEmailNotification : SampleEmailNotification
{
public ExtendedSampleEmailNotification() : base(nameof(ExtendedSampleEmailNotification))
{
}
}
Add the following line into the Module.cs
file:
Module.cs
public void PostInitialize(IApplicationBuilder appBuilder)
{
...
var registrar = appBuilder.ApplicationServices.GetService<INotificationRegistrar>();
registrar.OverrideNotificationType<SampleEmailNotification, ExtendedSampleEmailNotification>()
.WithTemplates(new EmailNotificationTemplate()
{
Subject = "Extended SampleEmailNotification subject",
Body = "Extended SampleEmailNotification body test"
});
...
}
Note
Running the .WithTemplates(new EmailNotificationTemplate()
extension method is optional and can be used in case you want to override the default templates.
