react-alerts-plus

Shows an alert in the position and for the duration specified. You will most likely want to pass your own custom alert component to use with the library, see below.

Installation:

yarn add react-alerts-plus

or

npm install react-alerts-plus

Usage: Wrap your app in the provider:

import { AlertProvider } from 'react-alerts-plus';

class MyApp extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <AlertProvider>
        <App />
      </AlertProvider>
    );
  }
}

In your app where you would like to show alerts

import { AlertWrapper } from 'react-alerts-plus';
...
...
render() {
  const options = {
        message: 'My alert message',
        style: {
          backgroundColor: 'cornflowerblue',
          borderRadius: 0,
        },
        offset: '50px',
        position: 'top right',
        duration: 0,
      }
  }

  return (
    <div>
      <button>
        <AlertWrapper>
          {({show, close}) => {
            <button type="button" onClick={() => const alertId = show(options)}>Show Alert</button>
          }}
          <button type="button" onClick={() => close(alertId)}>
        </AlertWrapper>
    </div>
  )
}

The AlertWrapper returns a show and close function.

show(options, AlertComponent): The show function will display the alert using
the options object passed. Returns the ID of the alert.

close(alertId): The close function will close the alert with the corresponding
ID.

Alert Options:

All three methods of using react-alerts-plus accept the same options, though
some maybe ignored with different alerts.

Options are passed as an object, as the first argument to the show function.
While z-index is not an option, you can pass a custom z-index in your styles and
it will be applied. See below.

Option Type Description
message String / Number message displayed in the alert
id String / Number id for the alert
style Object defining javascript styles
offset String defining the offset of the alert from position
duration Number time in milliseconds for the alert to be shown
position String placement of the alert
theme String default alert theme colors
showProgessBar Bool show auto close progress bar
progressBarColor String progress bar color
AlertComponent PureComponent pure components recommended

Option Examples:

  message:          'Hi alert here!'
  id:               'my-alert'
  style:            style: {
                      backgroundColor: 'cornflowerblue',
                      borderRadius: 0,
                    }
  offset:           '50px'
  duration:         2000 (use 0 to never auto close the alert)
  position:         'top left'
                    'top center'
                    'top right'
                    'bottom left'
                    'bottom center'
                    'bottom right'
  theme:            'light' or 'dark' (light is default)
  showProgressBar   false
  progressBarColor '#666', 'cornflowerblue', 'red'
  AlertComponent:   Default alert will be totally replaced by your custom alert.
                    Only offset, duration, id, showProgressBar, progressBarColor,
                    and position are used when passing a custom AlertComponent.
                    See below for specifics about using
                    your own custom alert component. **While custom alert
                    components can be functional stateless components, Components,
                    we recommend using PureComponents.**

  const optionsExample = {
        message: 'Hi alert here!',
        id: 'my-alert',
        style: {
          backgroundColor: 'cornflowerblue',
          borderRadius: 0,
          zIndex: 1000,
        },
        offset: '50px',
        duration: 2000,
        position: 'top right',
        theme: 'dark',
        progressBarColor: 'cornflowerblue',
      }

react-alerts-plus provides three different types of alerts.

  • Default alerts
  • Base alert components
  • Custom alerts

Default Alerts

Default alerts are nothing fancy, just basic alerts that display using the
options you pass to the show function. (See AlertWrapper example above).

Base Alert Components

To use the base alert components you still need to wrap your App in our
AlertProvider and AlertWrapper, but you pass our CardAlert component as
the second AlertComponent arguement to show. CardAlert will return any of the
base alert components you wish to use.

  • AlertContainer
  • AlertHeader
  • AlertBody
  • AlertImage
  • AlertProgressBar

As long as you pass props to this function you can make use of react-alerts-plus
transitions (transitionStyle) and close function (see below).

AlertContainer

A container to wrap your other alert components.

Special props:

  • N/A.
  • All your props are spread across this component for you to style your alert.

AlertHeader

Alert header.

Special props:

  • title: String. Alert title string
  • All your props are spread across this component for you to style your alert.

AlertBody

The body of your alert.

Special props:

  • message: String. Alert message string
  • All your props are spread across this component for you to style your alert.

AlertImage

Displays an image for your Alert.

Special props:

  • height: String. Height of image (ex: '200px')
  • width: String. Width of image (ex: '200px')
  • imageSrc: String. URL to image
  • alt: String. alt attribute for image
  • All your props are spread across this component for you to style your alert.

AlertProgress

A propress bar showing how long the alert will remain open before the duration
runs out. Will not be shown if:

  • duration option is 0 (zero), never auto close
  • showProgresBar option is false

Special props: These props can be pulled from the props passed into the
CardAlert (the options you sent to show, see below) or passed manually.

  • progressBarColor,
  • alertTimeout,
  • showProgressBar,
  • state,

Custom Alert Component:

While custom alert components can be a functional stateless component,
Reac.Component, etc. we recommend using React.PureComponents.

Passing a custom alert component will cause some options to be ignored (see
Option Examples above). The close function will be added as a prop for you to
consume in your custom alert component. If you are going to use the close prop
you will need to supply the custom ID with your options.
You can also pass any
other props you might need in your custom alert component. See the codesandbox
demo link at the top of this README.
