NotificationBody
The notification body is what is rendered inside the main Notification component and gives you the ability to customise how the notification looks. You can use the default notification body component in ./DefaultNotificationBody.js
as inspiration and guidance.
Your notificationBodyComponent
component is given four props:
Prop Name | Prop Description | Data Type | Default |
---|---|---|---|
title | The title passed to NotificationRef.show | String | '' |
message | The message passed to NotificationRef.show | String | '' |
onPress | The callback passed to NotificationRef.show | Function | null |
icon | Icon for notification passed to NotificationRef.show | ImageSourcePropType | null |
vibrate | Vibrate on show notification passed to NotificationRef.show | Boolean | true |
Usage
Adding react-native-in-app-notification
is simple; Just wrap you main App
component with the InAppNotificationProvider
component exported from this module.
import { InAppNotificationProvider } from 'react-native-in-app-notification'; import App from './App.js'; class AppWithNotifications extends Component { render() { return ( <InAppNotificationProvider> <App /> </InAppNotificationProvider> ); } }
When you want to show the notification, just wrap the component which needs to display a notification with the withInAppNotification
HOC and call the .showNotification
methods from its props.
.showNotification
can take three arguments (all of which are optional):
title
message
onPress
N.B: you should probably include at least one of title
or message
!
onPress
doesn't need to be used for passive notifications and you can use onClose
in your NotificationBody
component to allow your users to close the notification.
import React, { Component } from 'react'; import { View, Text, TouchableHighlight } from 'react-native'; import { withInAppNotification } from 'react-native-in-app-notification'; class MyApp extends Component { render() { return ( <View> <Text>This is my app</Text> <TouchableHighlight onPress={() => { this.props.showNotification({ title: 'You pressed it!', message: 'The notification has been triggered', onPress: () => Alert.alert('Alert', 'You clicked the notification!') }); }} > <Text>Click me to trigger a notification</Text> </TouchableHighlight> </View> ); } } export default withInAppNotification(MyApp);
