The module consists of there elements - directive, service and provider.
Directive
notifications-bar element directive, should be placed once, typically right after <body> open tag.
<notifications-bar class="notifications"></notifications-bar>
If you are using a icon library besides Glyphicons for the close button (such as Font Awesome), include a closeIcon attribute.
<notifications-bar class="notifications" closeIcon="fa fa-times-circle"></notifications-bar>
The default is the glyphicon-remove icon so don't forget to import Glyphicons if you aren't defining a closeIcon attribute.
Possible to use as attribute, as well
<div notifications-bar class="notifications"></div notifications-bar>
Service
notification service is used by controllers (or other directives), to show notifications.
app.controllers('app', function ($scope, api, notifications) {
api.get({resource: 'tasks'})
.then(function (tasks) {
$scope.tasks = tasks;
}, function (error) {
notifications.showError({message: error.message});
});
$scope.submitTask = function () {
api.post({resource: 'tasks'}, {description: this.description})
.then(function () {
notifications.showSuccess({message: 'Your task posted successfully'});
}, function (error) {
notifications.showError({message: 'Oh no! Task submission failed, <em>please try again.</em>'});
});
}
});
Provider
notificationsConfigProvider is used to override some notifications bar defaults.
app.config(['notificationsConfigProvider', function (notificationsConfigProvider) {
// auto hide
notificationsConfigProvider.setAutoHide(true)
// delay before hide
notificationsConfigProvider.setHideDelay(3000)
}])
Settings
It is possible to setup the whole notifications bar module in module config and each notification separately in controller
Available options:
- autoHide
- hideDelay
- acceptHTML
- autoHideAnimation
- autoHideAniationDelay
Please note, HTML support is only configurable at a global level. If HTML is to be supported, make sure to inject the 'ngSanitize' dependency.
var app = angular.module('app', ['ngNotificationsBar', 'ngSanitize']);
During configuration
app.config(['notificationsConfigProvider'], function (notificationsConfigProvider) {
// auto hide
notificationsConfigProvider.setAutoHide(true);
// delay before hide
notificationsConfigProvider.setHideDelay(3000);
// support HTML
notificationsConfigProvider.setAcceptHTML(false);
// Set an animation for hiding the notification
notificationsConfigProvider.setAutoHideAnimation('fadeOutNotifications');
// delay between animation and removing the nofitication
notificationsConfigProvider.setAutoHideAnimationDelay(1200);
}])
Override in controller
app.controller('main', function ($scope, notifications) {
$scope.showError = function () {
notifications.showError({
message: 'Oops! Something bad just happened! (hides faster)',
hideDelay: 1500, //ms
hide: true //bool
});
};
});
