Stimulus Notification

A Stimulus controller for showing notifications.

Installation

$ yarn add stimulus-notification

And use it in your JS file:

// Probably in app/javascript/controllers/index.js

import { Application } from '@hotwired/stimulus'
import Notification from 'stimulus-notification'

const application = Application.start()
application.register('notification', Notification)

This controller uses stimulus-use/use-transition under the hood. You can change the animation behavior as you want.

Usage

In your view:

<div
  data-controller="notification"
  data-notification-delay-value="2000"
  class="transition transform duration-1000 hidden"
  data-transition-enter-from="opacity-0 translate-x-6"
  data-transition-enter-to="opacity-100 translate-x-0"
  data-transition-leave-from="opacity-100 translate-x-0"
  data-transition-leave-to="opacity-0 translate-x-6"
>
  <p>This alert will magically disappear!</p>

  <button data-action="notification#hide">Close</button>
</div>

You can hide the notification by default and open it programmatically. Use a CustomEvent and set the correct value and action.

For instance:

<div
  data-controller="notification"
  data-notification-hidden-value="true"
  data-action="awesome@window->notification#show"
  class="transition transform duration-1000 hidden"
  data-transition-enter-from="opacity-0 translate-x-6"
  data-transition-enter-to="opacity-100 translate-x-0"
  data-transition-leave-from="opacity-100 translate-x-0"
  data-transition-leave-to="opacity-0 translate-x-6"
>
  <p>This alert will magically disappear!</p>

  <button data-action="notification#hide">Close</button>
</div>

<script>
  document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
    const event = new CustomEvent('awesome')

    window.dispatchEvent(event)
  })
</script>

🎛 Extending Controller

You can use inheritance to extend the functionality of any Stimulus component:

import Notification from 'stimulus-notification'

export default class extends Notification {
  connect() {
    super.connect()
    console.log('Do what you want here.')
  }
}

This controller will automatically have access to targets defined in the parent class.

If you override the connect, disconnect or any other methods from the parent, you'll want to call super.method() to make sure the parent functionality is executed.
