<script src="bower_components/ng-notifications-bar/dist/ngNotificationsBar.min.js"></script>

If you use Grunt, wiredep should inject the required angular-sanitize.js for you.

For browserify applications, require module in yours application module,

require('ng-notifications-bar');

In case you are using sass in project, it's possible to just import ngNotificationsBar styles,

In application module,

angular.module('app', ['ngNotificationsBar', 'ngSanitize']);

ngSanitize can be omitted if HTML support isn't needed.

API

The module consists of there elements - directive, service and provider.

Directive

notifications-bar element directive, should be placed once, typically right after <body> open tag.

<notifications-bar class="notifications"></notifications-bar>

If you are using a icon library besides Glyphicons for the close button (such as Font Awesome), include a closeIcon attribute.

<notifications-bar class="notifications" closeIcon="fa fa-times-circle"></notifications-bar>

The default is the glyphicon-remove icon so don't forget to import Glyphicons if you aren't defining a closeIcon attribute.

Possible to use as attribute, as well

<div notifications-bar class="notifications"></div notifications-bar>

Service

notification service is used by controllers (or other directives), to show notifications.

app.controllers('app', function ($scope, api, notifications) {
    api.get({resource: 'tasks'})
        .then(function (tasks) {
            $scope.tasks = tasks;
        }, function (error) {
            notifications.showError({message: error.message});
        });

    $scope.submitTask = function () {
        api.post({resource: 'tasks'}, {description: this.description})
            .then(function () {
                notifications.showSuccess({message: 'Your task posted successfully'});
            }, function (error) {
                notifications.showError({message: 'Oh no! Task submission failed, <em>please try again.</em>'});
            });
    }
});

Provider

notificationsConfigProvider is used to override some notifications bar defaults.

app.config(['notificationsConfigProvider', function (notificationsConfigProvider) {
    // auto hide
    notificationsConfigProvider.setAutoHide(true)

    // delay before hide
    notificationsConfigProvider.setHideDelay(3000)
}])

Settings

It is possible to setup the whole notifications bar module in module config and each notification separately in controller

Available options:

  • autoHide
  • hideDelay
  • acceptHTML
  • autoHideAnimation
  • autoHideAniationDelay

Please note, HTML support is only configurable at a global level. If HTML is to be supported, make sure to inject the 'ngSanitize' dependency.

var app = angular.module('app', ['ngNotificationsBar', 'ngSanitize']);

During configuration

app.config(['notificationsConfigProvider'], function (notificationsConfigProvider) {
    // auto hide
    notificationsConfigProvider.setAutoHide(true);

    // delay before hide
    notificationsConfigProvider.setHideDelay(3000);

    // support HTML
    notificationsConfigProvider.setAcceptHTML(false);

    // Set an animation for hiding the notification
    notificationsConfigProvider.setAutoHideAnimation('fadeOutNotifications');

    // delay between animation and removing the nofitication
    notificationsConfigProvider.setAutoHideAnimationDelay(1200);

}])

Override in controller

app.controller('main', function ($scope, notifications) {
    $scope.showError = function () {
        notifications.showError({
            message: 'Oops! Something bad just happened! (hides faster)',
            hideDelay: 1500, //ms
            hide: true //bool
        });
    };
