Angular 2 Push Notifications

The Notifications API allows web pages to control the display of system notifications to the end user — these are outside the top-level browsing context viewport, so therefore can be displayed even the user has switched tabs or moved to a different app. The API is designed to be compatible with existing notification systems across different platforms.

Launch Demo

Quick Start

$ npm install ng2-notifications --save

Then add it to your app:

import { PushNotificationComponent } from 'ng2-notifications/ng2-notifications';

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  template: `
  <push-notification 
    title="ng2-notifications"
    body="Component for Native Push Notifications"
    icon="https://goo.gl/3eqeiE">
  </push-notification>
  `,
  directives: [PushNotificationComponent]
})

Usage

Example of a basic notification using literals for title, description and icon. Please note this notification will not close by itself.

<push-notification 
  title="ng2-notifications"
  body="Component for Native Push Notifications"
  icon="https://goo.gl/3eqeiE">
</push-notification>

For data binding use:

<push-notification 
  [title]="notification.title"
  [body]="notification.description"
  [icon]="notification.icon">
</push-notification>

Self-closing

To self-close after a period of time, just add the [closeDelay] attribute with a value of milliseconds. The example below will self-close in 5 seconds.

<push-notification 
  ...
  closeDelay="5000">
</push-notification>

Controlling when to fire a notification

It is possible to control when a notification is shown. Simply add a template variable and call the .show() method on the variable on any event.

<push-notification #notification
  ...
  (load)="notification.show()">
</push-notification>

In this case, the load event will fire when the component is ready (ngOnInit).

Click Event

To attach a click handler to a notification, add the (action) event.

<push-notification 
  ...
  (action)="myFunction($event)">
</push-notification>

Show and Close events

It is possible to listen for show/close events to fire and attach a callback.

<push-notification 
  ...
  (show)="myShowFunction($event)"
  (close)="mycloseFunction($event)">
</push-notification>

Error Event

This event is unlikely, but in order to attach a callback to the notification error event, simply use the (error) event.

<push-notification 
  ...
  (error)="handleError($event)">
</push-notification>
