Awesome-wm notifications to bottom-right

Question

I'm looking for a way to move all desktop notifications from top-right to bottom-right but all I can find googling around is this page https://awesomewm.org/apidoc/core_components/naughty.notification.html which seems to explain how to do it from a programmers point of view and not from the WM config point of view. Any pointers?

The config is actually "real" code. So the documentation is for the config (or any module/extension).

As for the question itself. The best way to do it with a awesome git-master (which is the link you provided) is to modify the rules (ruled.notification section of the git-master version of rc.lua) and set the position property.

-- Correct way for awesome >= v4.4/git-master.
--
-- IF YOU HAVE A RECENT RC.LUA THIS SECTION IS ALREADY THERE,
-- ELSE, ADD IT.
--
-- WARNING: WILL **NOT** WORK IN < v4.4/git-master
ruled.notification.connect_signal('request::rules', function()
    -- All notifications will match this rule.
    ruled.notification.append_rule {
        rule       = { },
        properties = {
            screen           = awful.screen.preferred,
            implicit_timeout = 5,
            position         = "bottom_right", -- <<<<< ADD THIS
        }
    }
end)

If you are on version 3.4 to 4.3, the only way to set it is using the "notification presets"

-- OLD WAY, DEPRECATED in git-master/v4.4+
for _, preset in pairs(naughty.config.presets) do
    preset.position = "bottom_right"
end
