React Notification System

     

> A complete and totally customizable component for notifications in React.

_Initially built for Eterpret @ Scalable Path._

Installing

This component is available as CommonJS and UMD module. Install via NPM running:

``
npm install react-notification-system-2
`

$3

build webpack webpack-dev-server PostCss

remove actions and children

add getContentComponent

For **React 15.6.1

Using

For optimal appearance, this component must be rendered on a top level HTML element in your application to avoid position conflicts.

Here is a basic example. For a more advanced usage, please see the example code.

`js
var React = require('react');
var ReactDOM = require('react-dom');
var NotificationSystem = require('react-notification-system');

var MyComponent = React.createClass({
_notificationSystem: null,

_addNotification: function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
this._notificationSystem.addNotification({
message: 'Notification message',
level: 'success'
});
},

componentDidMount: function() {
this._notificationSystem = this.refs.notificationSystem;
},

render: function() {
return (


ReactDOM.render(
React.createElement(MyComponent),
document.getElementById('app')
);
`

Methods

$3

Add a notification object. This displays the notification based on the object you passed.

Returns the notification object to be used to programmatically dismiss a notification.

$3

Remove a notification programmatically. You can pass an object returned by addNotification() or by onAdd() callback. If passing an object, you need to make sure it must contain the uid property. You can pass only the uid too: removeNotification(uid).

$3

Edit a notification programmatically. You can pass an object previously returned by addNotification() or by onAdd() callback. If passing an object, you need to make sure it must contain the uid property. You can pass only the uid too: editNotification(uid).

$3

Removes ALL notifications programatically.

Creating a notification

The notification object has the following properties:

| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|------------ |--------------- |--------- |------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| title | string | null | Title of the notification |
| message | string | null | Message of the notification |
| getContentComponent | function | null | Return a React component to display in the notification (override other settings) |
| level | string | null | Level of the notification. Available: success, error, warning and info |
| position | string | tr | Position of the notification. Available: tr (top right), tl (top left), tc (top center), br (bottom right), bl (bottom left), bc (bottom center) |
| autoDismiss | integer | 5 | Delay in seconds for the notification go away. Set this to 0 to not auto-dismiss the notification |
| dismissible | bool | true | Set if notification is dismissible by the user. See more |
| action | object | null | Add a button with label and callback function (callback is optional). See more |
| onAdd | function | null | A callback function that will be called when the notification is successfully added. The first argument is the original notification e.g. function (notification) { console.log(notification.title + 'was added'); } |
| onRemove | function | null | A callback function that will be called when the notification is about to be removed. The first argument is the original notification e.g. function (notification) { console.log(notification.title + 'was removed'); } |
| uid | integer/string | null | Overrides the internal uid. Useful if you are managing your notifications id. Notifications with same uid won't be displayed. |

$3

If set to false, the notification will not display the dismiss ('x') button and will only be dismissible programmatically or after autoDismiss timeout. See more

Styles

This component was made to work as plug and play. For that, a handcrafted style was added to it and is used as inline CSS.

You can change this style by overriding the default inline styles or disable all inline styles and use your own styles.

$3

For this, use the style prop to pass an object with your styles. Your object must be something like this:

`js
var style = {
NotificationItem: { // Override the notification item
DefaultStyle: { // Applied to every notification, regardless of the notification level
margin: '10px 5px 2px 1px'
},

success: { // Applied only to the success notification item
color: 'red'
}
}
}

`

Refer to this file to see what can you override.

$3

To disable all inline styles, just pass false to the prop style.

`js

`

Here is the notification HTML:

`html


`

#### Important

Using this method you have to take care of every style, from containers positions to animations. To control animations, use the classes notification-visible and notification-hidden. If your CSS styles will not handle any animation (transition), you need to set the prop noAnimation to true when adding the Notification System component:

`js

`

See #74 for more details.

Run the tests:

`
npm test
`

You can find the coverage details under coverage/ folder.

After that, just edit the files under src/ and example/src/app.js`. It uses React hot reload.

This component is under construction. I will add more guidelines to who wants to contribute.
