NativeScript Feedback

This is a fork from https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/nativescript-feedback with updated dependencies. Huge thanks to @EddyVerbruggen for the great work as always!

       

_iOS and Android running the included demo - much better framerate on YouTube!_

Installation

``bash
tns plugin add @valor/nativescript-feedback
`

API

$3

#### JavaScript
`js
var FeedbackPlugin = require("@valor/nativescript-feedback");
var feedback = new FeedbackPlugin.Feedback();
`

#### TypeScript
`js
import { Feedback, FeedbackType, FeedbackPosition } from "@valor/nativescript-feedback";

export class MyClassWithFeedback {
private feedback: Feedback;

constructor() {
this.feedback = new Feedback();
}
}
`

$3

Showing feedback can be as easy as:

`js
this.feedback.show({
message: "Easiest thing ever, right?"
});
`

That uses a bunch of sane defaults.
However, there are a lot of things you may want to tweak. All of which are optional:

| Property | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| title | undefined | The bold title at the top. |
| titleColor | new Color("white") | The title's color. |
| titleFont | Bold system font | iOS needs the font name and android the file name. See the demo for examples. |
| titleSize | 16 | The size of the title font. |
| message | undefined | The message below the title. |
| messageColor | new Color("white") | The message's color. |
| messageFont | System font | iOS needs the font name and android the file name. See the demo for examples. |
| messageSize | 13 | The size of the message font.|
| duration | 4000 | The duration to show the feedback (milliseconds). |
| type | FeedbackType.Custom | One of .Custom, .Success, .Warning, .Error, .Info. Each with a distinct style as show in the animations above. You can still override all other properties according to your liking. |
| position | FeedbackPosition.Top | Either .Top or .Bottom. |
| backgroundColor | Depends on the type | The background's color. |
| icon | Depends on the type | A custom icon shown on the left. Loaded from App_Resources/ folders. Example here. Want no icon at all? Don't set a type. |
| android.iconColor | See description | On iOS the icon color is as-is, but on Android it's white. Set this color to override the latter (also see the TypeScript example below). |
| android.iconPulseEnabled | true | On Android you can disable the pulsating effect of the icon. |
| onTap| undefined | A callback function that gets invoked when the user tapped your feedback. |
| onShow| undefined | A callback for when the feedback is shown. iOS note: is called twice: once when animating and once when done. |
| onHide| undefined | A callback for when the feedback is hidden. |

One of the examples in the demo app shows a custom icon and alternative colors. You'd get there by doing:

#### JavaScript
`js
var FeedbackType = require ("@valor/nativescript-feedback").FeedbackType;
var FeedbackPosition = require ("@valor/nativescript-feedback").FeedbackPosition;
var color = require("color");

this.feedback.show({
title: "Thumbs up!",
titleColor: new color.Color("#222222"),
position: FeedbackPosition.Bottom, // iOS only
type: FeedbackType.Custom, // this is the default type, by the way
message: "Custom colors and icon. Loaded from the App_Resources folder.",
messageColor: new color.Color("#333333"),
duration: 3000,
backgroundColor: new color.Color("yellowgreen"),
icon: "customicon", // in App_Resources/platform folders
onTap: function() { console.log("showCustomIcon tapped") },
onShow: function(animating) { console.log(animating ? "showCustomIcon animating" : "showCustomIcon shown") },
onHide: function() { console.log("showCustomIcon hidden") }
});
`

#### TypeScript
`typescript
import { FeedbackType, FeedbackPosition } from "@valor/nativescript-feedback";
import { Color } from "tns-core-modules/color";

this.feedback.show({
title: "Thumbs up!",
titleColor: new Color("#222222"),
position: FeedbackPosition.Bottom,
type: FeedbackType.Custom, // this is the default type, by the way
message: "Custom colors and icon. Loaded from the App_Resources folder.",
messageColor: new Color("#333333"),
duration: 3000,
backgroundColor: new Color("yellowgreen"),
icon: "customicon", // in App_Resources/platform folders
android: {
iconColor: new Color("#222222") // optional, leave out if you don't need it
},
onTap: () => console.log("showCustomIcon tapped"),
onShow: animating => console.log(animating ? "showCustomIcon animating" : "showCustomIcon shown"),
onHide: () => console.log("showCustomIcon hidden")
});
`

Hiding a message can be done automatically (see duration), by a gesture (tap / swipe), or programmatically as shown here:

`js
this.feedback.hide();
`

$3

Since in many cases you want to only show success / info / warning / error messages anyway, this plugin's got you covered. You can call any of these functions and still pass in any of the aforementioned properties to tweak it to your liking:

#### success
`js
this.feedback.success({
title: "Awesome",
message: "That was great!"
});
`

#### info
`js
this.feedback.info({
title: "Info <> Data",
message: "Info is relevant data, not just any data."
});
`

#### warning
`js
this.feedback.warning({
message: "Your battery is almost empty"
});
`

#### error
`js
this.feedback.error({
title: "KABOoooOOM!",
titleColor: new Color("black")
});
