How to override JavaScript web api Notification object












3















I have a scenario where I need to toggle notifications on and off for a webpage that is loaded in a webview inside an electron window. To do that I have injected a preload file inside the webview that overrides the Notification object like this.



window.oldNotification = window.Notification;
window.Notification = function() {
let notificationEnabled = localStorage.getItem('notification-permissions') === 'true';
if (notificationEnabled) {
new window.oldNotification(...arguments);
}
};


I am enabling and disabling notifications by changing a local storage variable.



The issue is that the webpage that I want to control is using Notification.permission method (refer this). Now my new Notification object has no permission property on it. I am not able to override the Notification object in a way where I can update its constructor so that I can disable the notification and also have other properties of the original Notification object.



Is there a way to achieve this or is this not possible at all? Any help or suggestion is absolutely welcome.
