react-notification npm version Dependency Status

Overview

NOTICE: If you are using the React 0.14.0 beta, you can install the compatible version of this component with npm i react-notification@2.2.0-beta -S.

This is a component designed to provide "snackbar" notification messages. I would suggest reading the usage guidelines for snackbars.

Please read the contributing guide if you are interested in contributing. If you are coming from version 1.0.0, there is an upgrade guide to help you make the switch. If you have questions, please feel free to create an issue on GitHub or message me (@pburtchaell) on the Reactiflux Slack community.

Getting Started

Install the component via npm: npm install react-notification.

Usage

<Notification
  isActive={boolean}
  message={string}
  action={string}
  onClick={myClickHander}
/>

Props

Name Type Description Required Default
isActive boolean If true, the notification is visible true false
message string The message for the notification true
action string The name of the action, e.g., "close" or "undo" true
style object or boolean Custom styles to apply to the component*
className string Custom class to apply to the top-level component
activeClassName string Custom class to apply to the top-level component when active
dismissAfter number Timeout for onDismiss event 2000

*Setting this prop to false will disable all inline styles. This is useful if you aren't using React inline styles and would like to use CSS instead. See styles for more.

Events

Event Description
onClick Callback function to run when the action is clicked
onDismiss Callback function to run when dismissAfter timer runs out

Styles

This component does use basic inline CSS to style the position and visibility of the notification. You have two options for adding additional styles:

  1. Remove all inline styles and use only CSS.
  2. Add additional inline styles via the style prop.

The DOM tree of the component for reference:

<div class="notification-bar">
  <div class="notification-bar-wrapper" onClick={this.props.onClick}>
    <span class="notification-bar-message">{this.props.message}</span>
    <span class="notification-bar-action">{this.props.action}</span>
  </div>
</div>

To use additional inline styles, return two objects. The bar object applies styles to the entire notification "snackbar" and the action object applies styles to the action message. Under the hood, this uses Object.assign to handle properly combining styles.

I would highly suggest using this method since the styles included in the component by default handle the visibility of the notification. If you remove these styles, the component won't actually show or hide itself.

getNotificationStyles() {
  let bar = {
    background: '#263238'
  };

  let active = {
    left: '3rem'
  };

  let action = {
    color: '#FFCCBC'
  };

  return { bar, active, action };
},

render() {
  return (
    <div>
      <Notification
        ref="notification"
        message={this.state.message}
        action={this.state.action}
        styles={this.getNotificationStyles()}
      />
    </div>
  );
}
