How to use async
There are two types of async functions in this library: async and asyncBlock. They differ in appearance but work with promises identically.
If your promise was rejected, alert toast will be shown to the user. New toast message will contain error returned by promise. Make sure that error returned by promise has type of string
Take a look on function behaviour after promise rejection:
notifier.async(Promise.reject("some error")) // will show a new alert toast with message "some error"
notifier.async(Promise.reject({message: "some error")) // will throw an error, because returned value is Object.
notifier.async(Promise.reject("some error"), null, "custom error") // you can pass a string as `onResolve`, it will be used as message for alert toast
notifier.async(Promise.reject("some error"), null, err => console.log(err)) // you can pass a function as `onResolve`, no new toast will be added
notifier.async(Promise.reject("some error")).then(() => {},err => console.log(err)) // run same function with preserving new alert toast
If most of your promises returns similar objects, you can set handleReject function in options, to transform your objects to the strings:
let notifier = new AWN({
handleReject(value) {
// value is returned value of your promises reject
if (typeof value === "string") return value // optional check to preserve values which are already strings
// any code which should be applied to all reject values
return value.errors.message //choose string property of object that should be shown as error
}
})
notifer.async(Promise.reject({ errors: { message: "custom message" } })) // there is no error anymore, alert toast will be shown.
If your promise was resolved, nothing will happen by default. Customization here is similar:
notifier.async(Promise.resolve("all done")) // won't show anything after promise resolved
notifier.async(Promise.resolve("all done"), "your custom message") // will show a new success toast with message "your custom message"
notifier.async(Promise.resolve("all done"), result => {
notifier.success(`${result} and your custom message`)
}) // will show a new success toast with message "all done and your custom message"
notifier.async(Promise.resolve("all done")).then(result => {
notifier.success(`${result} and your custom message`)
}) // same as above, written without callback
*How to use modal
modal function will create a new modal window with HTML that you provided. All your HTML will be put into the div with class awn-modal-${className}, where className is the second parameter in modal function.
Customization
Options
You can pass your own options when you're initializing a library, e.g.
var options = {
labels: {
tip: "Your custom tip box label"
}
}
var notifier = new AWN(options)
Available options
All labels properties support HTML.
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| position | String | "bottom-right" | position of notifications |
| duration | Number | 5000 | determines how long notification exists, ms |
| animationDuration | Number | 300 | determines speed of animation, ms |
| asyncBlockMinDuration | Number | 500 | minimal time to show asyncBlock modal window, prevents blinking, when async function completes too fast |
| maxNotifications | Number | 10 | max amount of notifications |
| handleReject | Function | see in source code | handles returned value of promise in async functions if it was rejected; By default will throw an error, if value type isn't a String |
| labels | Object | See properties below | default labels for notifications |

| replacements.asyncBlock | Object | "" | rules for asyncBlock modal window |
| replacements.modal | Object | "" | rules for custom modal window |
| replacements.confirm | Object | "" | rules for confirm window |
Styles
The most convinient and quick way to change styles is dowload styles folder which contains .scss files. Then you have to edit variables.scss, compile your scss to css and add new css file to your project.
Also, you can just add default style.css to your project and override it in your styles file. To learn more about default styles, look at styles folder.
Security notes
Make sure that you pass safe HTML to msg param. Sending data which can be directly or indirectly edited by user (e.g. name of account), provides a possibility for HTML Injections. You can set up replacements in options to filter msg variable.
