Feature of the closing options of the growl message

[JanStevens]

hello,

After issues #53, #51 and #49 we need standardise the way we close a growl notification. A little explanation:

Right now the growl message is shown and the counter shows how long the growl message will be visible. Then a user can click on it to keep the growl notification displayed and click on it again to remove the growl. Clicking on the close button will remove the growl message immediately.

A couple of things happen and I would like to define some flows so everything is standardised and configurable and clear.

Proposal

• Show count down timer: True/False
• Configurable pauze option: This would be a string indicating how the user can pauze the growl notification, possibilities are: onhover, onclick, or disabled (suggestions?). Also an onpauze trigger will be called.
• Configurable close option: This would be a string that defines how we can close the growl notification, possibilities are: onclick, onclosebutton (using this will show the close button else it will be hidden),

Possible issues

• The disable close button would be dynamically determined instead of configurable.

This of course limits the possibilities, but will allow for easily extending the possible pauze and close handling.

Any thoughts or comments? Input very much needed as I don't know which direction to go.

I like where this is heading. Configuration is great. I would want to be able to decide on a per type basis as well. Like have no timer on errors (they always stay open until closed), but allow warnings and info messages to have the standard timer, and the options outlined above as far as hover to pause and only close on clicking the close button.

@morgenes great addition for configuration per type, thats something I forgot and is actually needed. I'll think about code structure and architecture because right now I'm not really happy with the current code.

I'd love to be able to define global behaviors for each notification type and apply them once. For example by passing an object with defaults for each type during config, and have the directive angular.extend it into each new notification with any notification-specific options that might have been sent over:

{
    'error' : {
        'pauze' : 'onhover onclick',
        'close' : 'onclosebutton',
        'ttl' : 10000
    },
    'info' : {
        'pauze' : 'onhover',
        'close' : 'onclick',
        'ttl' : 4000
    },
    // config-defined defaults for types with no specific settings
    'default' : {
        'pauze' : '',
        'close' : 'onclosebutton',
        'ttl' : 3000
    }
}

Is it possible at the moment to disable the close action triggered by a double click on a notification? I display links in my notifications, so the users can only click two times on them, quite annoying. ^^'

I have the same question as @jgoux, I'm using persistent growls as navigation aids in a SPA, it would be nice to override the click-to-keep/click-to-close from the app config.

[JanStevens]

@alonweinstein I like that API, its easy and with a couple of keywords we can define some behaviour. I'll think about it, atm the code is quite messy and could use a clean up/improvement

[alonweinstein]

Happy to help - any particular part of the code you want cleanup on?

CSS for disabling close on click (Proposal 2)

.growl-container > .growl-item { pointer-events: none }

[rahulmatty]

@alejandr0bovino : pointer-events: none doesnot work here.

Looking for any other alternatives.
