Quick-Toaster

A quick and easy wrapper around react-bootstrap toasters, you can toast from anywhere in your application with a few simple steps.

Quick

Installation

npm install @scrumble-nl/react-quick-toaster

or

yarn add @scrumble-nl/react-quick-toaster

Usage

Provider

Add the provider as top level as possible:

import React from 'react';
import App from './src/app';
import {ToastProvider} from '@scrumble-nl/quick-toaster'; // Don't forget to import this

export default class ToastApp extends React.Component<{}, {}> {
    render = (): JSX.Element => {
        return (
            <ToastProvider>
                <App/>
            </ToastProvider>
        )       
    }       
}

The ToastProvider has multiple optional props so you can customize it to your needs:

Name	Type	Required	Description	Default
position	'top-left', 'top-right', 'bottom-left', 'bottom-right'	false	The position of the toast container	top-right
maxItems	number	false	The maximum amount of toasts rendered at a given time	8
defaultTimer	number	false	The default amount of ms before the toast is removed	4000

Adding toasts hooks

1. Import useToaster in the component where you want to create a toast
2. Finally, you can create a toast with the desired configuration from your component:

import React from 'react';
import {useToaster} from '@scrumble-nl/quick-toaster'; // Step 1

const MyComponent = (): JSX.Element => {
    const add = useToaster();
    
    showToast = (): void => {
        add({content: 'Damn, this is an easy package!'}); // Step 2
    }

    return (
        <button onClick={this.showToast}>Show my awesome toast</button>            
    )
}

Adding toasts class components

1. Import withToaster in the component where you want to create a toast
2. If you are using TypeScript, import ToasterProps and use for props typing
3. Add export default withToaster(MyComponent) to the file
4. Finally, you can create a toast with the desired configuration from your component:

import React from 'react';
import {withToaster, ToasterProps} from '@scrumble-nl/quick-toaster'; // Step 1 (& 2)

class MyComponent extends React.Component<ToasterProps, {}> {

    showToast = (): void => {
        this.props.toaster.add({content: 'Damn, this is an easy package!'}); // Step 4
    }

    render = (): JSX.Element => {
        return (
            <button onClick={this.showToast}>Show my awesome toast</button>            
        )
    }
}

export default withToaster(MyComponent); // Step 3

The following options can be used for customization:

Name	Type	Required	Description	Default
content	string	true	The content for the toast	undefined
header	string	false	The header for the toast	''
variant	'primary', 'secondary', 'success', 'danger', 'warning', 'info', 'dark', 'light'	false	The toast type	success
dismissTimer	number	false	Auto dismiss amount in milliseconds	dismissTimer of ToastProvider
dismissible	boolean	false	If you can dismiss the toast	true

Next to that you can override the bootstrap class .alert to change the look of the toasts.

Roadmap

• Packagize component
• Improve styling customizability
• Automated testing implementation
• Switch from interfaces to types
• Improve scss usage
