Documentation

TRAlert

The alert component which is used to render the alert. It does not take any props.

import { TRAlert } from 'tr-alerts';
<TRAlert />;

Place the component anywhere you like.

It is recommended to call it only once in your entire app. As the trigger function set's the given values for all the alerts, placing multiple TRAlert components will trigger multiple alerts with same data which is unwanted behaviour.

useAlert

The hook that is used to get the showAlert function that is used to trigger the alert.

The hook itself does'nt take any arguments. It simply return a function.

showAlert

The function returned by useHook. It takes the following params.

Param	Accepted Data Type	Description
heading	string	The heading to be displayed in the alert. Usually a quick summary of the alert
message	string	The message to be displayed by the alert. If the message is too long, a scroll bar will appear.
alertType ( optional, default to "primary" )	string	Modifies the border color of the alert indicating the alert type. Acceptable values are "primary", "info", "success", "danger". primary - blue; info - yello; success - green; danger - red;
timeout (optional)	number	Set a timeout period after which the alert automatically closes. If not specified, then the alert wont close unless closed by the user.
