What is notistack?

notistack is a highly customizable notification library for React. It allows you to display snackbars (toasts) with ease and provides a variety of options for customization, including positioning, duration, and styling.

What are notistack's main functionalities?

Basic Snackbar

This code demonstrates how to display a basic snackbar using notistack. The `SnackbarProvider` component wraps the application, and the `useSnackbar` hook is used to trigger the snackbar.

import React from 'react';
import { SnackbarProvider, useSnackbar } from 'notistack';

function App() {
  const { enqueueSnackbar } = useSnackbar();

  const handleClick = () => {
    enqueueSnackbar('This is a basic snackbar');
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={handleClick}>Show Snackbar</button>
    </div>
  );
}

export default function IntegrationNotistack() {
  return (
    <SnackbarProvider maxSnack={3}>
      <App />
    </SnackbarProvider>
  );
}

Custom Snackbar Variants

This code demonstrates how to display snackbars with different variants (success, error, warning, info) using notistack. The `enqueueSnackbar` function is called with a variant option to customize the type of snackbar.

import React from 'react';
import { SnackbarProvider, useSnackbar } from 'notistack';

function App() {
  const { enqueueSnackbar } = useSnackbar();

  const handleClickVariant = (variant) => () => {
    enqueueSnackbar('This is a ' + variant + ' snackbar', { variant });
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={handleClickVariant('success')}>Show Success Snackbar</button>
      <button onClick={handleClickVariant('error')}>Show Error Snackbar</button>
      <button onClick={handleClickVariant('warning')}>Show Warning Snackbar</button>
      <button onClick={handleClickVariant('info')}>Show Info Snackbar</button>
    </div>
  );
}

export default function IntegrationNotistack() {
  return (
    <SnackbarProvider maxSnack={3}>
      <App />
    </SnackbarProvider>
  );
}

Custom Snackbar Styling

This code demonstrates how to apply custom styling to a snackbar using notistack. The `makeStyles` function from Material-UI is used to create custom styles, which are then applied to the snackbar via the `enqueueSnackbar` function.

import React from 'react';
import { SnackbarProvider, useSnackbar } from 'notistack';
import { makeStyles } from '@material-ui/core/styles';

const useStyles = makeStyles((theme) => ({
  customSnackbar: {
    backgroundColor: theme.palette.primary.main,
    color: theme.palette.primary.contrastText,
  },
}));

function App() {
  const classes = useStyles();
  const { enqueueSnackbar } = useSnackbar();

  const handleClick = () => {
    enqueueSnackbar('This is a custom styled snackbar', {
      classes: {
        root: classes.customSnackbar,
      },
    });
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={handleClick}>Show Custom Styled Snackbar</button>
    </div>
  );
}

export default function IntegrationNotistack() {
  return (
    <SnackbarProvider maxSnack={3}>
      <App />
    </SnackbarProvider>
  );
}

Other packages similar to notistack

react-toastify

react-toastify is another popular library for displaying toast notifications in React applications. It offers a simple API and a variety of customization options. Compared to notistack, react-toastify is more focused on ease of use and quick setup, while notistack provides more advanced customization and control over the snackbars.

material-ui

Material-UI is a comprehensive library of React components that implement Google's Material Design. It includes a Snackbar component that can be used for notifications. While Material-UI's Snackbar is powerful and integrates well with other Material-UI components, notistack offers a more specialized and flexible solution for managing snackbars, including stacking and dismissing multiple notifications.

react-notifications-component

react-notifications-component is a library for creating customizable notifications in React. It supports various types of notifications and provides a range of customization options. Compared to notistack, react-notifications-component offers a broader range of notification types but may not provide the same level of integration and ease of use for snackbars specifically.

Getting Started

Use your preferred package manager:

npm install notistack
yarn add notistack

How to use

1: Wrap your app inside a SnackbarProvider component: (see docs for a full list of available props)
Note: If you're using material-ui ThemeProvider, make sure SnackbarProvider is a child of it.

import { SnackbarProvider } from 'notistack';

<SnackbarProvider maxSnack={3}>
    <App />
</SnackbarProvider>

2: Export any component that needs to send notification using withSnackbar. By doing this, you'll have access to methods enqueueSnackbar and closeSnackbar, where the former can be used to send snackbars.

import { withSnackbar } from 'notistack';

class MyComponent extends Component {
  handleNetworkRequest = () => {
     fetchSomeData()
        .then(() => this.props.enqueueSnackbar('Successfully fetched the data.'))
        .catch(() => this.props.enqueueSnackbar('Failed fetching data.'));
  };

  render(){
     //...
  };

};

export default withSnackbar(MyComponent);

2 (alternative): You can use useSnackbar hook in your functional components as well.

import { useSnackbar } from 'notistack';

const MyButton = () => {
    const { enqueueSnackbar, closeSnackbar } = useSnackbar();

    const handleClick = () => {
        enqueueSnackbar('I love hooks');
    };

    return (
        <Button onClick={handleClick}>Show snackbar</Button>
    );
}
