Done, you're great and now you're able to use these pretty alerts
Development
First of all run bundle
to install gem
Now you can call it in console, for example
cuteToast({
type: 'success',
title: "Great",
message: "Product was successfully added",
timer: 5000
})
and you'll see little alert, if all works well
You can call it everywhere you want
Also a good practice will be to use Stimulus controller (if you use stimulus) to call this alerts:
- Generate controlller:
rails g stimulus cutealert
- add some code you want to controller:
# app/javascript/controllers/cutealert_controller.js
import { Controller } from "@hotwired/stimulus"
// Connects to data-controller="cutealert"
export default class extends Controller {
static targets = ["input"]
connect() {
}
successToast() {
cuteToast({
type: 'success',
title: "Great",
message: "Product was successfully added",
timer: 50000000000
})
}
}
- Add this to your button:
<div data-controller="cutealert">
<%= form_with url: add_product_in_cart_path(product) do |f| %>
...
<%= f.submit "Add to cart", class: "btn-black", data: {
cutealert_target: "input",
action: "click->cutealert#successToast",
turbo: false } %>
<% end %>
</div>
Done, you've made it, enjoy
