vue-notifikation

Vue.js notification plugin

Installation

Library can be installed via downloading a git repo:

git clone https://github.com/happyCoda/vue-notifikation.git

An npm package also available:

$ npm install vue-notifikation

Getting started

To start using vue-notifikation, you need to do two things. First, write some html:

<div id=”notifikation”></div>

You can use any id, or even class. This is not necessary, but if you won’t do this, plugin will have to go to the DOM and create this html for you. Second thing to do is plugin installation:

// Somewhere in your main js file
import VueNotifikation from ‘vue-notifikation’;
// Then install the plugin to Vue
Vue.use(VueNotifikation);

Usage

Using vue-notifikation is pretty straight forward. Just call one of API methods provided.

// After you’ve install the plugin, you can use it in any component
export default {
name: ‘SupaDupaComponent’,
data() {
//…
},
methods: {
someVeryUsefullMethod() {
// That’s it!
this.$notifikation.show(options);
}
}
}

API

There are 4 methods for calling notifications and one for dismiss them.

show

Generic method. Can create notifications of any level (error, success or info);

this.$notifikation.show(options);

error

As it’s name says, error method creates error level notifications.

success
