Angular2-Notifications

A light and easy to use notifications library for Angular 2.

Example

Take a look at the live demo here: Live Demo You can also clone this repository and check out the example folder.

Setup

Download the library with npm

npm install --save angular2-notifications

Map the library in your System.config if you're using SystemJs.

System.config({
    map: {
        'notifications': 'node_modules/angular2-notifications'
    }
});

Add the SimpleNotificationsComponent in to the component where you want to use the notifications.

...
directives: [SimpleNotificationsComponent],
template: '<simple-notifications [options]="options"></simple-notifications>'
...

The onCreate and onDestroy Event Emitters emit the notification that was created or destroyed you can utilise this functionality like this:

<simple-notifications [options]="options" (onCreate)="created($event)" (onDestroy)="destroyed($event)"></simple-notifications>

You will also need to use the NotificationsService in your component to create or remove the notifications.

...
providers: [NotificationsService]
...
constructor( private _service: NotificationsService ) {}
...

This are the currently available access methods:

• success(title: string, content: string, override?: any) - Creates a success notification with the provided title and content.
• error(title: string, content: string, override?: any) - Creates an error notification with the provided title and content.
• alert(title: string, content: string, override?: any) - Creates an alert notification with the provided title and content.
• info(title: string, content: string, override?: any) - Creates an info notification with the provided title and content.
• bare(title: string, content: string, override?: any) - Creates a bare notification with the provided title and content. This notification type is best used when adding custom html.
• create(title: string, content: string, type: string, override?: any) - Use this method to create any notification type ['success', 'error', 'alert', 'info', 'bare'].
• html(html: any, type: string, override?: any - Use this method to create a notification with custom html.
• remove(id?: string) - Removes the notification that has the provided id or removes all currently open notifications if no id was provided.

Options

This are the current options that can be pass to the component:

Option	Type	Default	Description
timeOut	int	0	Determine how long a notification should wait before closing. If set to 0 a notification won't close it self.
showProgressBar	boolean	true	Determine if a progress bar should be shown or not.
pauseOnHover	boolean	true	Determines if the timeOut should be paused when the notification is hovered.
lastOnBottom	boolean	true	Determines if new notifications should appear at the bottom or top of the list.
clickToClose	boolean	true	Determines if notifications should close on click.
maxLength	int	0	Set the maximum allowed length of the content string. If set to 0 or not defined there is no maximum length.
maxStacks	int	8	Set the maximum number of notifications that can be on the screen at once.
preventDuplicates	boolean	false	If true prevents duplicates of open notifications.
preventLastDuplicates	boolean or string	false	If set to "all" prevents duplicates of the latest notification shown ( even if it isn't on screen any more ). If set to "visible" only prevents duplicates of the last created notification if the notification is currently visible.
theClass	string	null	A class that should be attached to the notification. (It doesn't exactly get attached to the selector but to the first div of the template.)

Here is an example of passing the options to the component. You only pass the options you want changed.

...
template: '<simple-notifications [options]="options"></simple-notifications>'
...
public options = {
    timeOut: 5000,
    lastOnBottom: true
    ...
}

The following options can be overridden by passing them to the override object:

• timeOut
• showProgressBar
• pauseOnHover
• clickToClose
• maxLength
• theClass

this._notificationsService.success(
    title: 'example', 
    content:'example', 
    override: {
        timeOut: 5000,
        showProgressBar: true,
        pauseOnHover: false,
        clickToClose: false,
        maxLength: 10
    }
)
