Multiple kind of notifier

[soullivaneuh]

Hi,

Thanks for your project, was very useful and easy to use. 👍

I have an idea to share with you: Why not offer multiple kind of notifier as same as swiftmailer?

We can imagine a SpoolerNotifier for example to send hipchat message with async system.

What do you think about that?

Thanks.

Hi!

First of all; I'm terribly sorry -- totally missed this issue/feedback.

Thanks for the kind words!

Just to make sure I understand your suggestion; you're looking for some way to queue messages to be sent to HipChat and then send them "when possible" (instead of blocking the script execution while sending to HipChat)?

I think it sounds like a good idea, if it's possible to implement it in a reasonable way. Do you have any ideas on this? :-)

Hi,

Yes it's totally what I want to have.

I don't really know of difficult is to implement. We can take inspiration from SwiftmailerBundle.

Maybe I can work on PR when I have some time... :)

Sure :)

The only thing I'm thinking of is where a good extension point for this would be. I mean, the only thing the bundle currently provides is a Symfony2 wrapper around the already existing HipChat API class (and a couple of commands).

To implement this functionality one would have to introduce a second service or something, which is of course doable. Just want to make sure the bundle itself doesn't get too bloated :)

But I guess some additional config, with some kind of flag to turn the second service on/off would be a reasonable approach. That way one could still use the bundle like today and the overhead of having a service that provides some convenience features like queueing etc. wouldn't be that much.

[added for clarity] Overall, I think it's a good feature, as long as it's easy to toggle and doesn't get to humongous :-)
