* Improve format and clarity of the docs [ci skip] While this change produces a lot of git noise by enacting what seems like an arbitrary linewrap on most of the files in the documentation it will result in better version control and tracking of the changes in the documentation. For example, as it currently stands, if one was to make a PR to move a comma in a sentence because each paragraph in most of the files is on a single line, that small change would look in the git history like the author had modified the entire paragraph. In reality, this author just moved a comma. This change also includes a significant number of modifications to the more article-esque docs. Many of these docs were written in a sort of stream-of-conciousness and aren't as easy to read as they could be. Hopefully this is the first of several readability changes. If we could get these docs to a more accessible reading level, we would probably see an increase in contributions. :) * Delegate markdown wrapping to Prettier * Add linewrapping explanation in the docs [ci skip]

# Notifications
|
|
|
|
Since notifications are run asynchronously, we'll want to make sure jobs are
|
|
running: `bin/rails jobs:work`. If that's not running, you won't receive any
|
|
notifications. You might need to create another account to pass notifications
|
|
back and forth if you're doing this all through the UI.
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, you can generate notifications from the Rails console and run the
|
|
class methods from `app/models/notification.rb`. For example:
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
# follow notification
|
|
me = User.last
|
|
follow = User.first.follow(me)
|
|
Notification.send_new_follower_notification_without_delay(follow)
|
|
# reaction notification
|
|
rxn = Reaction.create(
|
|
user_id: 1,
|
|
category: "like",
|
|
reactable: me.articles.last, # this assumes you have an article written
|
|
)
|
|
Notification.send_reaction_notification_without_delay(rxn, me)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Notice you have to run these methods `without_delay` since this is assuming jobs
|
|
are not running.
