NotificationUI

Import :

brackets.getModule("widgets/NotificationUI")

widgets/NotificationUI

The global NotificationUI can be used to create popup notifications over dom elements or generics app notifications.

A global window.EventManager object is made available in phoenix that can be called anytime after AppStart. This global can be triggered from anywhere without using require context.

Usage

Simple example

For Eg. Let's say we have to create a popup notification over the HTML element with ID showInfileTree. We can do this with the following

Example

const NotificationUI = brackets.getModule("widgets/NotificationUI");
// or use window.NotificationUI global object has the same effect.
let notification = NotificationUI.createFromTemplate("Click me to locate the file in file tree", "showInfileTree",{});
notification.done(()=>{
    console.log("notification is closed in ui.");
})

Advanced example

Another advanced example where you can specify html and interactive components in the notification Example

// note that you can even provide an HTML Element node with
// custom event handlers directly here instead of HTML text.
let notification1 = NotificationUI.createFromTemplate(
  "<div>Click me to locate the file in file tree</div>", "showInfileTree",{
      allowedPlacements: ['top', 'bottom'],
      dismissOnClick: false,
      autoCloseTimeS: 300 // auto close the popup after 5 minutes
  });
// do stuff
notification1.done((closeReason)=>{
    console.log("notification is closed in ui reason:", closeReason);
})
