Notification

Notifications keep you informed about results, warnings and errors.

Installing the notification package

Install the package together with the ZEIT ONLINE design system, because the notification styles use design-system variables:

npm install @zeitonline/notification @zeitonline/design-system
# or
yarn add @zeitonline/notification @zeitonline/design-system

Recommendation

A practical setup is to copy both CSS files from node_modules into your application styles directory and load them from there.

{
	"scripts": {
		"copy:zds": "mkdir -p ./src/assets/css && cp node_modules/@zeitonline/design-system/design-system.css ./src/assets/css/design-system.css",
		"copy:notification": "mkdir -p ./src/assets/css && cp node_modules/@zeitonline/notification/dist/notification.css ./src/assets/css/notification.css"
	}
}

Then include the styles in this order:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="./src/assets/css/design-system.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./src/assets/css/notification.css" />

Usage

import notification from '@zeitonline/notification';

notification.show({
	status: 'success',
	message: 'Der Artikel wurde gespeichert.',
	link: {
		text: 'Merkliste öffnen',
		href: 'https://www.zeit.de/konto/listen/merkliste',
	},
});

const trigger = document.querySelector('[data-copy-link]');

trigger?.addEventListener('click', () => {
	notification.showInline({
		element: trigger,
		message: 'Link copied to clipboard.',
	});

	notification.show({
		element: trigger,
		message: 'Der Artikel wurde gespeichert.',
		status: 'success',
	});
});

When element is provided for a toast, the notification is inserted after the trigger and any already-rendered notification siblings, and the stack is reflowed from there. If element is omitted and a direct child element is focused, the notification is inserted after that element instead of being appended to the end of the body.

If you use the icon option, the notification expects an SVG symbol in the page with the id pattern svg-<name>.

<svg aria-hidden="true" style="display:none">
	<symbol id="svg-bookmark" viewBox="0 0 18 18">
		<path d="..." />
	</symbol>
</svg>

notification.show({
	icon: 'bookmark',
	message: 'Der Artikel wurde von der Merkliste entfernt.',
	button: {
		text: 'Rückgängig',
		onClick: () => {
			console.log('Undo');
		},
	},
});

What the package provides

• Notifications with top, top-right and bottom placement.
• Notifications can be anchored next to the triggering element for better reading order.
• Status variants for success, warning, info and error.
• Optional action button or link.
• Inline notifications anchored to the element that triggered them.
• Optional group keys to replace earlier notifications within the same position stack.
• Auto-dismiss after 4 seconds, with pause and resume on pointer hover, when timer property is set to true.
• Timed notifications can emit the notification-removed custom event when they close.
• Stacking of up to 3 notifications per position at the same time.
