react-notifications-component

A delightful, easy to use and highly configurable component to help you notify your users out of the box. No messy setup, just beautiful notifications!

Demo

https://teodosii.github.io/react-notifications-component/

Features

• Touch support
• Responsive notifications
• Standard notification types
• Custom notification types
• Custom notification content
• Dismissable (touch, click, timeout)
• Customizable transitions
• Small library

Getting started

npm install react-notifications-component

Development

First build the library

npm run build:library:dev

then run the webpack server to see the app running

npm run start

Usage

Import react-notifications-component

import { ReactNotifications } from 'react-notifications-component'

Import the CSS theme

import 'react-notifications-component/dist/theme.css'

SASS

SASS files are located in react-notifications-component/dist/scss

Render react-notifications-component at the top of your application so that it does not conflict with other absolutely positioned DOM elements.

const App = () => {
  return (
    <div className="app-container">
      <ReactNotifications />
      <Application />
    </div>
  )
};

Import Store where needed - will be used to access addNotification and removeNotification API methods

import { Store } from 'react-notifications-component';

Then call addNotification and watch the magic happens

Store.addNotification({
  title: "Wonderful!",
  message: "teodosii@react-notifications-component",
  type: "success",
  insert: "top",
  container: "top-right",
  animationIn: ["animate__animated", "animate__fadeIn"],
  animationOut: ["animate__animated", "animate__fadeOut"],
  dismiss: {
    duration: 5000,
    onScreen: true
  }
});

Voila!

Note: We rely on animate.css in this example as animate__fadeIn and animate__fadeOut are part of animate.css. We recommend using it as it's an excellent animation library, but you're not forced to. If you prefer you may also use your custom animations as long as they're valid CSS animations.

Note: animate.css latest version (v4) has breaking changes. It introduces animate__ prefix so that existing classes don't clash. If you still would like to use classes without prefix you can import animate.css/animate.compat.css

// preferred way to import (from `v4`). Uses `animate__` prefix.
import 'animate.css/animate.min.css';

// Alternate way to use classes without prefix like `animated fadeIn`
import 'animate.css/animate.compat.css'

In the examples, we will be using classes with animate__ prefix, which is the default behaviour of latest v4 version of animate.css.

For more info on how to use animate.css, please refer to animate.css docs

API

Store.addNotification(options)

Render a new notification. Method returns a unique id for the rendered notification. Supplied options are internally validated and an exception will be thrown if validation fails.

Store.removeNotification(id)

Manually remove a notification by id.

Examples

In the following examples for brevity some options will not be mentioned. Strictly focusing on the needed options to present each example. For reference, we will be using Object spread operator on a notification object to have non relevant fields included as well.

notification = {
  title: "Wonderful!",
  message: "Configurable",
  type: "success",
  insert: "top",
  container: "top-right",
  animationIn: ["animate__animated animate__fadeIn"], // `animate.css v4` classes
  animationOut: ["animate__animated animate__fadeOut"] // `animate.css v4` classes
};

Notification container

You have in total 6 containers for desktop and 2 for mobile, if component is set to be responsive. List of containers:

• top-left
• top-right
• top-center
• center
• bottom-left
• bottom-right
• bottom-center

Store.addNotification({
  ...notification,
  container: 'top-right'
})

Will position the notification in top right of the screen.

Notification type

List of types:

• success
• danger
• info
• default
• warning

Store.addNotification({
  ...notification,
  type: 'danger'
})

Will trigger a danger notification.

Animating

Store.addNotification({
  ...notification, 
  animationIn: ['animate__animated animate__fadeIn'], // `animate.css v4` classes
  animationOut: ['animate__animated animate__fadeOut'] // `animate.css v4` classes
})

animationIn and animationOut rely on CSS classes that toggle animations. On github pages we rely on animate.css, we suggest you to import that package and use their animations as they have plenty.

Note: Failing to have animations set properly will lead to bugs in some causes, as react-notifications-component relies on onAnimationEnd event to know when an animation has finished.

Dismiss notification automatically after timeout expires

Store.addNotification({
  ...notification,
  dismiss: {
    duration: 2000
  }
})

Dismiss notification automatically with the time left shown on UI

Store.addNotification({
  ...notification,
  dismiss: {
    duration: 2000,
    onScreen: true
  }
})

Subscribe to notification's removal

Easily subscribe to onRemoval by supplying callback as option to the notification object. Callback will get called after the removal animation finishes.

Store.addNotification({
  ...notification,
  onRemoval: (id, removedBy) => {
    ...
  }
})

Pause notification's timeout by hovering

Store.addNotification({
  ...notification,
  dismiss: {
    duration: 2000,
    pauseOnHover: true
  }
})

Change transition

Store.addNotification({
  ...notification,
  slidingExit: {
    duration: 800,
    timingFunction: 'ease-out',
    delay: 0
  }
})

slidingEnter, touchRevert and touchSlidingExit can all be configured in the same way, with the mention that touchSlidingExit has 2 transitions nested.

Store.addNotification({
  ...notification,
  touchSlidingExit: {
    swipe: {
      duration: 400,
      timingFunction: 'ease-out',
      delay: 0,
    },
    fade: {
      duration: 400,
      timingFunction: 'ease-out',
      delay: 0
    }
  }
})

Migration from v1

• Ref usage has been deprecated. Import Store from library and use it for adding and removing notifications
• touchSlidingBack has been renamed to touchRevert
• Default values for transitions have been slightly changed
• dismissIcon has been removed. Use showIcon instead. If you relly on customized close icon, then stick to custom content.
• dismiss supports now more options
• cubicBezier has been renamed to timingFunction
• Validators are now no longer included in the prod build, they are only included in the dev build. If you inspect the npm package you will see that the component has 2 builds - dev and prod - and relies on ENV variable when importing.
