This is not well documented but it will give you an idea on how to start

react-notification-center demo

Implementation Guide

1: Installation

npm install --save react-notification-center

2: Import the less file to your app

import 'react-notification-center/src/less/index.less'

3 Add the notification component

before we keep on we need to talk about the notification data structure.

The notification item component expect an id, title, message, read and date, but assuming that in your data you don't have the message variable but instead you have text as the notification message and you're too lazy to manipulate your data, here is what you can do, use the mapToItem props

import ReactNotificationCenter, {notify} from 'react-notification-center';
export default class App extends Component {
    constructor(props) {
        super(props);
		
		// map those variable with your data structure if necessary
        this.mpaToNotificationItem = {
            id: '_id',
            title: 'title' // name are equal so you don't need. :D
            message: 'text',
            read: 'active',
            date: 'startDate'
        };

        this.notifications = [{
            _id: 1,
            title: 'some title',
            text: 'some long text', // this will be cut on the notification item list
            active: false,
            tags: [{
                type: 'success',
                text: 'text'
            }],
            startDate: '09/12/2016'
        }];
    }

	onNotificationItemClick(item) {
		/* Here you can make a ajax and tell your server
         * that the user has read this notification.
		 */
	}
    
    addMoreData() {
        /* In case you wanna add more data without modifying
         * your react component state you case use the 'notify'
         * method to add more data in to the `react-notification-center` `state`
		 */
         notify.add({...})
    }
    
    render() {
        return (
            <div className="wrapper">
                <div className="your-notification-holder-class">
	             <ReactNotificationCenter
	                 notifications={this.notifications}
	                 onNotificatioOpen={() => console.log('Notification has open')}
	                 onNotificatioClose={() => console.log('Notification has close')}
	                 onItemClick={this.onNotificationItemClick.bind(this)}
	                 mapToItem={this.mpaToNotificationItem}/>
               </div>
            </div>
        );
    }
}

That is it :D

Data structure.

{
    id: 1 // is required,
    title: 'the notification title', // not required
    message: 'My message', // you don't need but what is a notification without a message :D
    read: false, // is required, We will use this for mark which item has been read,
    date: '02/12/2016', // not required
    tags: [{ // not required. This is in case you wanna tell the user the notification purpose
        type: 'info', // types of tags: success, info, warning and danger
        text: 'my tag text'
    }]
}
