Vue Snacks

Vue Snacks is a toast notification component for Vue.js 3, developed with TypeScript. It offers a simple and flexible way to display temporary "toast" style notifications in your application.

Demo

Check out the Demo application to see Vue Snacks in action.

Installation

First, install the package via npm:

npm install vue-snacks

Configuration

In the main.ts file, import and register the Vue Snacks plugin in the main Vue instance:

import { createApp } from 'vue';
import App from './App.vue';
import VSnacks from 'vue-snacks/dist';

const app = createApp(App);
app.use(VSnacks);
app.mount('#app');

Usage

Inside a Vue component, you can display a notification by calling the $snack.notify method:

import { defineComponent, getCurrentInstance } from 'vue';

export default defineComponent({
  setup() {
    const { proxy } = getCurrentInstance() as any;

    const showNotification = () => {
      proxy.$snack.notify({
        position: 'top-center',
        type: 'success',
        duration: 3000,
        title: 'Success!',
        message: 'The operation was successfully completed.',
      });
    };

    return { showNotification };
  },
});

Customization

Vue Snacks provides a range of options to tailor notifications to your specific needs. You can adjust the following parameters:

position: Controls where the notification appears on the screen. Options include:
- 'top-left': Top left corner
- 'top-center': Top center of the screen
- 'top-right': Top right corner
- 'bottom-left': Bottom left corner
- 'bottom-center': Bottom center of the screen
- 'bottom-right': Bottom right corner
type: Defines the visual style of the notification to convey the appropriate message:
- 'success': Green background, used for success messages
- 'error': Red background, used for error messages
- 'warning': Orange background, used for warnings
- 'info': Blue background, used for informational messages
- 'details': Gray background, for detailed or neutral information
duration: Sets the length of time (in milliseconds) the notification remains visible. For example, a value of 3000 keeps the notification displayed for 3 seconds before it fades out. If not set, the default duration is used.
title: The main headline of the notification. This is typically a brief, attention-grabbing phrase that conveys the core message.
message: The detailed text of the notification. This should provide additional context or information related to the title.

By fine-tuning these parameters, you can create a notification system that fits seamlessly with your application's design and user experience.
