React Alert

Overview

This project provides a simple and customizable solution for displaying toast notifications in React using Vite written with TypeScript, without relying on external UI libraries. The implementation utilizes React hooks, such as useState and useEffect, to manage the toast's visibility and duration. Additionally, React Portals are employed to render the alert/toast component outside the normal DOM hierarchy, ensuring flexibility and seamless integration.

Features

1. Customizable Toast: Display non-intrusive notifications with control over appearance and behavior.

2. React Portals Integration: Utilize ReactDOM.createPortal for rendering the toast at a higher DOM level, avoiding potential conflicts.

3. Tailwind CSS Styling: Easily customize the toast component appearance using Tailwind CSS for quick and efficient styling.

4. Global Alert Context: Integration with AlertContext for managing global alert states.

Getting Started

Installation

To use this alert/toast component in your React project, clone or download the project repository. Copy the alert directory into your project. Ensure Tailwind CSS is integrated into your project for styling.

Import the AlertProvider in your main application file (e.g., index.tsx or App.tsx):

import { AlertsProvider } from './alert';
import Page from './Page';

export default function App() {
  return (
    <AlertsProvider>
      <Page />
    </AlertsProvider>
  );
}

Usage

Import useAlert hook in your React component file and call addAlert function:

import { useAlert } from './alert';

export default function Page() {
  // Alert
  const { addAlert } = useAlert();

  const handleShowAlert = () => {
    const message = 'This is My Alert';
    addAlert(message);
  };

  const handleShowTimeoutAlert = () => {
    const message = 'This is 10 second Alert';
    const timeout = 10;
    addAlert(message, timeout);
  };

  return (
    <div>
      {/* Your other components and content */}
      <button onClick={handleShowAlert}>Show Alert</button>
      <button onClick={handleShowTimeoutAlert}>Show 10s Alert</button>
    </div>
  );
}

Styling

Customize the appearance and behavior of the Alert component by modifying the corresponding React component file and adjusting styles using Tailwind CSS.
