React-Notification

Adding it to your project

meteor add praneybehl:react-notification

Overview

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

This Meteor package is a wrapper for 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>
  );
}
