⚙️ API Reference

Below you will find a brief description of all the methods and properties that the library exposes. All entries are sorted alphabetically.

---

animationConfig

A parameter used to configure the animation. It can be set up for the entire app or selectively for a particular notification. Below is the global configuration:

import { createNotifications, RotateInRotateOut } from 'react-native-notificated'

const { NotificationsProvider } = createNotifications({
  animationConfig: RotateInRotateOut,
})

It can also be overwritten in the local scope when calling the notification:

import { SlideInLeftSlideOutRight } from 'react-native-notificated'

[...]

notify('success', {
  params: {
    title: 'Success',
    description: 'This is where the toast text goes',
  },
  config: {
    animationConfig: SlideInLeftSlideOutRight,
  },
})

We've prepared a couple of ready-to-use animations for you (just import them from the library):

• RotateZIn
• ZoomInDownZoomOutUp
• ZoomInDownZoomOutDown
• RotateInRotateOut
• SlideInLeftSlideOutRight
• ZoomInZoomOut
• MoveUp
• MoveDown
• SlideInLeft
• FadeInFadeOut
• VeryCustomTransition
• DiagonalSlideInLeftSlideOutRight

createNotifications()

API used to initialize the library in the project.

import { createNotifications } from 'react-native-notificated'

const { NotificationsProvider } = createNotifications()

The createNotifications() invoked without any configuration, as in the above example, is fairly enough to use the library on its basic level. Here is an example of all available parameters that can be adjusted in createNotifications():

const { NotificationsProvider } = createNotifications({
  duration: number // -> default 3000
  notificationPosition: NotificationPosition
  animationConfig: CustomAnimationConfig
  gestureConfig: GestureConfig
  isNotch?: boolean
  defaultStylesSettings: {
    darkMode: false,
    globalConfig: StyleProps
    successConfig: StyleProps
    errorConfig: StyleProps
    warningConfig: StyleProps
    infoConfig: StyleProps
  },
  variants: CustomVariants
})

Check out StyleProps

The defaultStylesSettings provides styles for all default notifications. globalConfig is on the top of the hierarchy and distributes styles for all types of build-in notifications: success, error, warning, and info. For example, successConfig (if provided) will overwrite globalConfig styles only for 'success' notifications. successConfig styles can be overwritten on the lowest level when calling a 'success' notification using notify(). Check out Order of settings overwriting for more details.

generateAnimationConfig()

This method allows to set up custom animations.

generateAnimationConfig(config: CustomAnimationConfig)

Check out CustomAnimationConfig and Custom transitions

It takes four properties:

• animationConfigIn // -> REQUIRED
• animationConfigOut
• transitionInStyles // -> REQUIRED
• transitionOutStyles

import { generateAnimationConfig } from 'react-native-notificated'

const myCustomAnimation = generateAnimationConfig({
  animationConfigIn: {
    type: "timing" | "spring",
    config: WithSpringConfig | WithTimingConfig // -> Reanimated type declarations
  },
  animationConfigOut: {
    type: "timing" | "spring",
    config: WithSpringConfig | WithTimingConfig // -> Reanimated type declarations
  },
  transitionInStyles: (progress: SharedValue<number>) => AnimatedStylesType // -> must be a worklet / Reanimated type declarations
  transitionOutStyles: (progress: SharedValue<number>) => AnimatedStylesType // -> must be a worklet / Reanimated type declarations
})

---

modify()

Method returned from useNotifications() and useNotificationsController() hooks. This method is very similar to notify. The main difference is that you have the opportunity to change the existing notifications.

modify(id: string, setup: { params: NotificationParams; config?: NotificationConfigParams }): void

Jump to NotificationParams and NotificationConfigParams

The sample code below shows how the method should be implemented:

import { useNotifications } from 'react-native-notificated'

const SomeFunctionComponent = () => {
    const [id, setId] = useState('')
    const { modify, notify } = useNotifications()

    return (
      <View>
        <Button
          title='launch notification'
          onPress={() =>
            setId(
              notify('success', {
                params: {
                  description: 'This is where the toast text goes',
                  title: 'Success',
                },
              }).id
            )
          }
        />
        <Button
          title='modify notification'
          onPress={() =>
            modify(id, {
              params: {
                title: 'Hello',
                description: 'Wow, that was easy',
              },
            })
          }
          >
      </View>
    )
}

---

NotificationsProvider

A provider, which acts as the notifications root. Depending on where you mount it, this is where the notifications will get rendered in your component tree.

return (
  <>
    <App />
    <NotificationsProvider />
  </>
)

---

notify()

This method is responsible for launching notification (default or custom, if implemented). Returned from the useNotifications() hook.

notify(notificationType: string, setup: { params: NotificationParams; config?: NotificationConfigParams }): string

Jump to NotificationParams and NotificationConfigParams

The sample code below shows how it should be implemented:

import { useNotifications } from 'react-native-notificated'

const SomeFunctionComponent = () => {
  const { notify } = useNotifications()

  const notificationMetadata = notify('success', {
    params: {
      title: 'Hello',
      description: 'Wow, that was easy',
    },
  })
}

The notify() returns the notification id. The ID can be later used to manipulate this particular notification (to remove or update content).

[...]
    const notificationID = notify('success', {
      params: {
        title: 'Hello',
        description: 'Wow, that was easy',
      },
    }).id
[...]

---

remove()

This method removes the notification. It is returned from the useNotifications() and useNotificationsController() hooks.

remove(id: string): void

The sample code below shows how it works:

import { useNotifications } from 'react-native-notificated'

const SomeFunctionComponent = () => {
    const [id, setId] = useState('')
    const { remove, notify } = useNotifications()

    return (
      <View>
        <Button
          title='launch notification'
          onPress={() =>
            setId(
              notify('success', {
                params: {
                  description: 'This is where the toast text goes',
                  title: 'Success',
                },
              }).id
            )
          }
        />
        <Button
          title='remove notification'
          onPress={() => remove(id)}
          >
      </View>
    )
}

---

useNotifications()

The hook is imported from 'react-native-notificated' and can be used only inside the function component.

import { useNotifications } from 'react-native-notificated'

const SomeFunctionComponent = () => {
    const { notify, modify, remove } = useNotifications()

    [...]
}

The useNotifications() provides three methods: notify, modify, and remove - described separately.

---

useNotificationsController()

The hook is imported from 'react-native-notificated' and can be used only inside the function component.

import { useNotificationsController } from 'react-native-notificated'

const SomeFunctionComponent = () => {
    const { modify, remove } = useNotifications()

    [...]
}

The useNotificationsController() provides two methods: modify and remove - described separately.
