Optional accessible notification component with light and dark variants. Minimally styled to fit into most applications. You can optionally override the styles if you wish.
Tree-shaking

Installation

Note: This package requires Pinia and Vue3

Basic installation

This includes all the sub packages in vue-notify

npm install --save vue-notify

Installing the packages individually

If you're going to use all three of these packages it's recommended to just install the base package since they're all bundled in there.

Install just the notification API

npm install --save @f3ve/notify

Install just the composable

npm install --save @f3ve/composables

Install just the components

npm install --save @vue/notify/components

Setup pinia and component styles

// main.js
import { createApp } from 'vue';
import { createPinia } from 'pinia';
import App from './App.vue';

// Be sure to import component styles
import '@f3ve/vue-notify/dist/style.css';

const app = createApp(App);

// Pinia is required for components and `useNotify` to work.
const pinia = createPinia();

app.use(pinia);
app.mount('#app');

Add VNotifications component to your App.vue component**

<script setup>
import { VNotifications } from '@f3ve/vue-notify';
</script>
<template>
  <router-view />

  <!-- This makes notifications component visible on all your pages -->
  <VNotifications
</template>

You can now display a notification from anywhere in your app

<!-- some nested component -->
<script setup>
  import { useNotify } from '@f3ve/vue-notify';

  const notify = useNotify();
</script>

<template>
  <button @click="notify.show('This is a notification!')">
    Show notification
  </button>
</template>

Examples

Here are some examples of how to use this package

Basic

Please not this example is intended to show how everything works together. Once the VNotifications component is in your App.vue file you can use useNotify from any component to display a notification.

// App.vue
<script setup>
  import {
    useNotify,
    VNotifications,
    useNotifyRequest,
  } from '@f3ve/vue-notify';
  import { myAsyncFunc } from './api';

  const notify = useNotify();

  const { exec, loading } = useNotifyRequest(myAsyncFunc, {
    onSuccess: (result) => notify.show(result.message, 'success'),
    onError: (error) => notify.show(error.message, 'error'),
  });
</script>

<template>
  <button :disabled="loading" @click="exec">
    {{ loading ? 'Loading...' : 'Submit' }}
  </button>

  <VNotifications />
</template>

How to use the dark variants

You can get the dark notification variants by applying the class dark either directly to the VNotification component or to any ancestor DOM element. E.G. the body tag or the html tag.

<!-- index.html -->
<!doctype html>
<!-- Adding the .dark class here will work-->
<html lang="en" class="dark">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <title>Vite + Vue + TS</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id="app"></div>
    <script type="module" src="/src/main.ts"></script>
  </body>
</html>

<script setup>
  import { VNotifications } from '@f3ve/vue-notify';
</script>

<template>
  <router-view />

  <!-- Alternative adding `dark` class to the component will also show the dark notification variant. -->
  <VNotifications class="dark" />
</template>

Overriding default notification styles.

To override the notification styles simply add your styles to a css file and import it AFTER the component styles import in your main.js file

// Main.js

// main.js
import { createApp } from 'vue';
import { createPinia } from 'pinia';
import App from './App.vue';

import '@f3ve/vue-notify/dist/style.css';
// Be sure to import your styles after the @f3ve/vue-notify styles.
import './styles/main.css';

const app = createApp(App);

// Pinia is required for components and `useNotify` to work.
const pinia = createPinia();

app.use(pinia);
app.mount('#app');

/* ./styles/main.css */

/* Override the default colors by assigning new values in :root*/
:root {
  --vue-notification-color-success: #6fffff;
  --vue-notification-color-success-dark: #6fffff;
}

/* Override notification element styles */
.vue-notification {
  /* ... */
}

/* Override the styles of the close button  */
.vue-notification button {
  /* ... */
}

/* Override the styles of the close button icon. If you wish to use a different icon you could grab the css for it from here: https://icon-sets.iconify.design/ */
.vue-notification-close {
  /* ... */
}

Review the css file for ideas about what all you can override.

Using a custom toast component

If you wish wish to use your own toast component while utilize the functionality of VNotifications you can do so by passing your component to the notifyComponent prop. The VNotifications component will pass these props to your component so make sure your component is set up to handle these. Review the internal VNotification component for an example.

<script lang="ts" setup>
  import {
    useNotify,
    VNotifications,
    useNotifyRequest,
  } from '@f3ve/vue-notify';
  import { myAsyncFunc } from './api';
  import { MyCustomComponent } from './components';

  const notify = useNotify();

  const { exec, loading } = useNotifyRequest(myAsyncFunc, {
    onSuccess: (result) => notify.show(result.message, 'success'),
    onError: (error) => notify.show(error.message, 'error'),
  });
</script>

<template>
  <button :disabled="loading" @click="exec">
    {{ loading ? 'Loading...' : 'Submit' }}
  </button>

  <VNotifications :notify-component="MyCustomToast" />
</template>

Custom notification wrapper and toast

If you prefer to create your own components for use with useNotify() store please review the @f3ve/components package for examples.
