NotificationBody

The notification body is what is rendered inside the main Notification component and gives you the ability to customise how the notification looks. You can use the default notification body component in ./DefaultNotificationBody.js as inspiration and guidance.

Your notificationBodyComponent component is given four props:

Prop Name	Prop Description	Data Type	Default
title	The title passed to NotificationRef.show	String	''
message	The message passed to NotificationRef.show	String	''
onPress	The callback passed to NotificationRef.show	Function	null
icon	Icon for notification passed to NotificationRef.show	ImageSourcePropType	null
vibrate	Vibrate on show notification passed to NotificationRef.show	Boolean	true

Usage

Adding react-native-in-app-notification is simple; Just wrap you main App component with the InAppNotificationProvider component exported from this module.

import { InAppNotificationProvider } from 'react-native-in-app-notification';

import App from './App.js';

class AppWithNotifications extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <InAppNotificationProvider>
        <App />
      </InAppNotificationProvider>
    );
  }
}

When you want to show the notification, just wrap the component which needs to display a notification with the withInAppNotification HOC and call the .showNotification methods from its props.

.showNotification can take three arguments (all of which are optional):

• title
• message
• onPress

N.B: you should probably include at least one of title or message!

onPress doesn't need to be used for passive notifications and you can use onClose in your NotificationBody component to allow your users to close the notification.

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { View, Text, TouchableHighlight } from 'react-native';
import { withInAppNotification } from 'react-native-in-app-notification';

class MyApp extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <View>
        <Text>This is my app</Text>
        <TouchableHighlight
          onPress={() => {
            this.props.showNotification({
              title: 'You pressed it!',
              message: 'The notification has been triggered',
              onPress: () => Alert.alert('Alert', 'You clicked the notification!')
            });
          }}
        >
          <Text>Click me to trigger a notification</Text>
        </TouchableHighlight>
      </View>
    );
  }
}

export default withInAppNotification(MyApp);
