Overview

This is a component designed to provide "snackbar" notification messages and notification stacks (similar to how notifications stack on OS X). I would suggest reading the usage guidelines for snackbars.

Getting Started

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

If you are using the React 0.13.x or lower, you can install the previously compatible version of this component with npm i [email protected] -S. The current version only works with React 0.14.x.

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.

Note the component uses Object.assign. If you are compiling with Babel, you should include the Babel Polyfill in your build to ensure the method works.

Usage

Single notification:

import { Notification } from 'react-notification';

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

Notification stack:

import { NotificationStack } from 'react-notification';
import { OrderedSet } from 'immutable';

constructor () {
  super();
  this.state = {
    notifications: OrderedSet()
  };
}

addNotification () {
  const newCount = count + 1;
  return this.setState({
    notifications: this.state.notifications.add({
      message: `Notification ipsum...`,
      key: 'some UID',
      action: 'Dismiss',
      onClick: (deactivate) => {
        deactivate();
        setTimeout(() => this.removeNotification('some UID'), 400);
      },
    })
  });
}

removeNotification (count) {
  this.setState({
    notifications: this.state.notifications.filter(n => n.key !== count)
  })
}

render () {
  return (
    <NotificationStack
      notifications={this.state.notifications.toArray()}
      onDismiss={notification => this.setState({
        notifications: this.state.notifications.delete(notification)
      })}
    />
  );
}

See the examples for more context on how to use a notification stack.

Props

For Notification component:

Name Type Description Required Default
isActive boolean If true, the notification is visible true false
message string or React element The message or component for the notification true
title string The title for the notification
action string The name of the action, e.g., "close" or "undo"
style boolean Setting this prop to false will disable all inline styles
barStyle object Custom snackbar styles
activeBarStyle object Custom snackbar styles when the bar is active
actionStyle object Custom action styles
className string Custom class to apply to the top-level component
activeClassName string Custom class to apply to the top-level component when active 'notification-bar-active'
dismissAfter number or false Timeout for onDismiss event 2000

The style prop useful if you are not using React inline styles and would like to use CSS instead. See styles for more.

For NotificationStack component:

Name Type Description Required Default
notifications array Array of notifications to render true
dismissInOrder bool If false, notification dismiss timers start immediately false true
barStyleFactory func create the style of the notification false fn
activeBarStyleFactory func create the style of the active notification false fn

Update v5.0.3: Now notifications used in a stack can have all properties included in the regular notification component.

Events

For Notification component:

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

onClick is called with parameter deactivate, which is a function and can be called to set the notification to inactive. Used to activate notification exit animation on click.

For NotificationStack component:

Event Description Arguments
onDismiss Callback function to run when dismissAfter timer runs out for a notification The object for the notification currently being dismissed

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.

barStyleFactory and activeBarStyleFactory NotificationStack props

These two function have the following signature:

(index: Number, style: Object|Void) => Object

Where index is the index of the notification in the notifications array and style is the style property of the individual notification.

This function is used to dynamically set the style of each notification in the stack. The default function adds the bottom style property to correctly position of the notification in a stack.

function defaultStyleFactory(index, style) {
  return Object.assign(
    {},
    style,
    { bottom: `${2 + index * 4}rem` }
  );
}
