Auto-dismissable Notification Popup With Progress Bar – Notification.js

Preview:

Description:

Notification.js is a JavaScript notification library for displaying customizable, dismissable, sliding notification popups just like Growls and Toasts.

It lets the user define custom locations where a notification popup will appear and it also allows showing a progress bar while the notification is being loaded.

It can also dismiss itself after a given timeout or when the user clicks on it, which is great for making sure the notification doesn’t stay visible for too long.

How to use it:

1. Load the stylesheet notification.css and JavaScirpt notification.js in the document.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="notification.css" />
<script src="notification.js"></script>

2. Display a basic notification popup on the screen.

const notification = new Notification({
  text: 'Notification Message',
});

3. Set the position of the notification.

• top-left
• top-center
• top-right (default)
• bottom-left
• bottom-center
• bottom-right

const notification = new Notification({
  text: 'Notification Message',
  position: 'top-center',
});

4. Specify the notification type: ‘default’, ‘success’, ‘error’, or ‘info’

const notification = new Notification({
  text: 'Notification Message',
  type: 'default',
});

5. Apply your own styles to the notification.

const notification = new Notification({
  text: 'Notification Message',
  style: {
    background: '#222',
    color: '#fff',
    transition: 'all 350ms linear',
    // more CSS styles here
  },
});

6. Set the time to wait before auto-dismissing. Default: 3000ms.

const notification = new Notification({
  text: 'Notification Message',
  autoClose: 5000,
});

7. Determine whether the notification can be closed by clicking the close button. Default: true.

const notification = new Notification({
  text: 'Notification Message',
  canClose: false,
});

8. Enable/disable and customize the progress bar, which is used to indicate how many times left the notification dismisses itself.

const notification = new Notification({
  text: 'Notification Message',
  showProgress: true,
  pauseOnHover: true,
  pauseOnFocusLoss: true,
});

9. Perform a function after the notification is closed.

const notification = new Notification({
  text: 'Notification Message',
  onClose: () => {},
});

10. Update the notification popup.

notification.update({
  // new options here
});
