Redux Flash Notification Component for Redux

An es6 growl-like notification plugin for react and redux.

Better Documentation: http://posabsolute.github.io/redux-flash-notification

Integration

1 npm install 'flash-notification-react-redux' --save

2 Add redux-thunk middleware

npm install 'redux-thunk' --save

 import reduxThunk from 'redux-thunk'   const createStoreWithMiddleware = applyMiddleware(reduxThunk)(createStore);  const store = createStoreWithMiddleware()

3 Add the reducer to your root reducer

import { GrowlerReducer } from 'flash-notification-react-redux';  const rootReducer = combineReducers({   growler: GrowlerReducer, });  export default rootReducer;

4 Add the growler component to your app root component so it is always accessible

import { GrowlerContainer } from 'flash-notification-react-redux';  export class App extends Component {   static propTypes = {     children: React.PropTypes.any,   }   render() {     return (       <section>         <GrowlerContainer />         {this.props.children}       </section>     );   } }

5 Add webpack loaders to load es6 files.

  module: {     loaders: [{       test:[/\.jsx$/,  /\.js$/],       loader: 'babel',       query: {         plugins: ['transform-decorators-legacy']       },       include: [         path.resolve(__dirname, "src"),         path.resolve(__dirname, "node_modules/flash-notification-react-redux")       ],     }, {       test: [/\.scss$/, /\.css$/],       loader: 'css?localIdentName=[path]!postcss-loader!sass',     }],   }, };

6 You're done.

Usage

With the reducer

You can change the store state to show the growler.

Example:

dispatch({   type: 'GROWLER__SHOW',   growler: {     text: 'Please enter your JIRA url',     type: 'growler--error',   }, });

dispatch({   type: 'GROWLER__SHOW',   growler: {     text: 'You have succesfully logged in',     type: 'growler--success',   }, });

With the actions

If made available in your components, you can use multiple actions to show the growler component,

Example:

import React from 'react'; import { bindActionCreators } from 'redux'; import { connect } from 'react-redux'; import {GrowlerActions} from 'actions/sprints.action';  const mapStateToProps = state => ({}); const mapDispatchToProps = dispatch => {   return {     ...bindActionCreators(growlerActions, dispatch),   }; };  @connect(mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps) export default class SprintsListContainer extends React.Component {   render() {     return <SprintsListComponent {...this.props} />;   } }

Available Actions

showGrowlerSuccess(text)

showGrowlerError(text)

showGrowler(text, type)

Used when you want to show custom messages. The type will be added as a CSS class.

Options

Options are passed down when you add the component to your app root.

Option	Default Value	Default Value	Description
shownFor	3000	Milliseconds	Time the growler is shown
messages	-	Object	Localization in every supported languages of your messages
currentLocale	enUS	String	Locale used to retrieve messages

import { GrowlerContainer } from 'flash-notification-react-redux'; import growlerMessages from 'locales/growler.locale.js';  export class App extends Component {   render() {     return (       <section>         <GrowlerContainer messages={growlerMessages} currentLocale='enUS' shownFor="9000" />         {this.props.children}       </section>     );   } }

Messages

By default the growler will show the text passed down by the action, however when mounting the component you can specify localized text. When shown, the component will verify if the text passed match a key.

import { GrowlerContainer } from 'flash-notification-react-redux'; import growlerMessages from 'locales/growler.locale.js';  // usage in render <GrowlerContainer messages={growlerMessages} currentLocale='enUS' />

currentLocale (default: enUS)

You can specify the language used by using the currentLocale option.

Messages object Example

{   enUS: {     error: 'There was en error'   },   frCA:       error: 'Il y a eu une erreur' }

shownFor (default: 3000)

Time the growler is shown in milliseconds

<GrowlerContainer shownFor="6000" />

Limitations

This component is based on the use of redux, react, es6 & es7 (decorators) and webpack for loading the css as an import module.
