Demos

v4:

v5:

A JavaScript/TypeScript notification, confirmation, and prompt library.

Notifications can display as toast style, snackbar style, banners, dialogs, alerts, or desktop notifications (using the Web Notifications spec) with fall back to an in-browser notice.

PNotify provides a unique notification flow called modalish that provides a good user experience, even when many notifications are shown at once.

# You definitely need this one.
npm install --save-dev @pnotify/core
# These are the optional ones.
npm install --save-dev @pnotify/animate
npm install --save-dev @pnotify/bootstrap3
npm install --save-dev @pnotify/bootstrap4
npm install --save-dev @pnotify/confirm

  defaultModules.set(PNotifyMobile, {});

  alert({
    text: 'Notice me, senpai!',

Styles

Bright Theme

The default theme, Bright Theme. Supports dark mode. Include the CSS file in your page:

<link
  href="node_modules/@pnotify/core/dist/BrightTheme.css"
  rel="stylesheet"
  type="text/css"
/>

Or if you're using a packager that imports CSS:

import '@pnotify/core/dist/BrightTheme.css';

Material

The Material theme. Supports dark mode. Requires material-design-icons and optionally the Roboto font. Include the CSS file in your page:

<link
  href="node_modules/@pnotify/core/dist/Material.css"
  rel="stylesheet"
  type="text/css"
/>

Or if you're using a packager that imports CSS:

import '@pnotify/core/dist/Material.css';

Then set the default styling and icons to 'material':

import { defaults } from '@pnotify/core';
// or
const { defaults } = require('@pnotify/core');

// Set default styling.
defaults.styling = 'material';
// This icon setting requires the Material Icons font. (See below.)
defaults.icons = 'material';

Material Icons

To use the Material Style icons, include the Material Design Icons Font in your page.

# The official Google package:
npm install --save material-design-icons

# OR, An unofficial package that only includes the font:
npm install --save material-design-icon-fonts

<link
  rel="stylesheet"
  href="node_modules/material-design-icons/iconfont/material-icons.css"
/>

Or if you're using a packager that imports CSS:

import 'material-design-icons/iconfont/material-icons.css';

Alternatively, you can use the Google Fonts CDN:

<link
  rel="stylesheet"
  href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Material+Icons"
/>

Or a clone from jsDelivr:

<link
  rel="stylesheet"
  href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/material-icons-font@2.0.0/material-icons-font.css"
/>

Roboto Font

The Material style uses the "400" and "500" weights of Roboto. It will fall back to "sans-serif".

You can use the Google Font CDN:

<link
  rel="stylesheet"
  href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Roboto:wght@400;500&display=swap"
/>

Angeler

The Angeler theme. Supports dark mode. Include the CSS file in your page:

<link
  href="node_modules/@pnotify/core/dist/Angeler.css"
  rel="stylesheet"
  type="text/css"
/>

Or if you're using a packager that imports CSS:

import '@pnotify/core/dist/Angeler.css';

It's recommended that you set the close button to not hide by default, as that is how Angela designed the theme to look best.

import { defaults } from '@pnotify/core';
// or
const { defaults } = require('@pnotify/core');

defaults.closerHover = false;

You can use the angeler-extended class to use the alternate, more spacious styling for the Angeler theme. This works great for big, center of the page notices, like page errors.

alert({
  text: "I'll be more expanded than normal, with a separated title line.",
  addClass: 'angeler-extended',
});

:info: It's named after Angela Murrell, who designed it, and it's pronounced like An-jel-er.

Bootstrap

npm install --save-dev @pnotify/bootstrap3 @pnotify/glyphicon
# or
npm install --save-dev @pnotify/bootstrap4

Styling for the popular Bootstrap library. Doesn't support dark mode (but you can use a Bootstrap theme).

Include the CSS:

<link
  rel="stylesheet"
  href="node_modules/@pnotify/bootstrap4/dist/PNotifyBootstrap4.css"
/>

Or if you're using a packager that imports CSS:

import '@pnotify/bootstrap4/dist/PNotifyBootstrap4.css';

Include the appropriate line(s) from below:

import { defaultModules } from '@pnotify/core';
import * as PNotifyBootstrap4 from '@pnotify/bootstrap4';
// or
const { defaultModules } = require('@pnotify/core');
const PNotifyBootstrap4 = require('@pnotify/bootstrap4');

Then set it as a default module:

defaultModules.set(PNotifyBootstrap4, {});

Change the "4" to "3" for Bootstrap 3, and also import and set PNotifyGlyphicon to use Bootstrap 3's glyphicons. PNotifyGlyphicon doesn't have any CSS to import.

Font Awesome 4 (Icons)

npm install --save-dev @pnotify/font-awesome4

To set Font Awesome 4 as the default icons, include the appropriate line from below:

import { defaultModules } from '@pnotify/core';
import * as PNotifyFontAwesome4 from '@pnotify/font-awesome4';
// or
const { defaultModules } = require('@pnotify/core');
const PNotifyFontAwesome4 = require('@pnotify/font-awesome4');

Then set it as a default module:

defaultModules.set(PNotifyFontAwesome4, {});

Font Awesome 5 (Icons)

npm install --save-dev @pnotify/font-awesome5 @pnotify/font-awesome5-fix

To set Font Awesome 5 as the default icons, include the appropriate line from below:

import { defaultModules } from '@pnotify/core';
import * as PNotifyFontAwesome5Fix from '@pnotify/font-awesome5-fix';
import * as PNotifyFontAwesome5 from '@pnotify/font-awesome5';
// or
const { defaultModules } = require('@pnotify/core');
const PNotifyFontAwesome5Fix = require('@pnotify/font-awesome5-fix');
const PNotifyFontAwesome5 = require('@pnotify/font-awesome5');

Then set them as default modules:

defaultModules.set(PNotifyFontAwesome5Fix, {});
defaultModules.set(PNotifyFontAwesome5, {});

If you don't want to use Font Awesome 5 as your default icons, but you still want support for them in your notices, you should include only the @pnotify/font-awesome5-fix package. Font Awesome 5 does some mysterious magic in its code that breaks PNotify. This module has a workaround for it.

Creating Notices

To make a notice, use the factory functions. Each one takes an options object as its only argument. It will return a PNotify notice instance.

import { alert, notice, info, success, error } from '@pnotify/core';
// or
const { alert, notice, info, success, error } = require('@pnotify/core');

// Manually set the type.
const myAlert = alert({
  text: "I'm an alert.",
  type: 'info',
});

// Automatically set the type.
const myNotice = notice({
  text: "I'm a notice.",
});

const myInfo = info({
  text: "I'm an info message.",
});

const mySuccess = success({
  text: "I'm a success message.",
});

const myError = error({
  text: "I'm an error message.",
});

Options

PNotify options and default values.

defaults = {

type: 'notice'
Type of the notice. 'notice', 'info', 'success', or 'error'.

defaultModules = new Map();

Changing Defaults

import { defaults } from '@pnotify/core';
// or
const { defaults } = require('@pnotify/core');

defaults.width = '400px';

Adding/removing a module to the defaults:

import { defaultModules } from '@pnotify/core';
import * as PNotifyMobile from '@pnotify/mobile';
// or
const { defaultModules } = require('@pnotify/core');
const PNotifyMobile = require('@pnotify/mobile');

// Add a module to the defaults. Note that the second argument should
// always be `{}`.
defaultModules.set(PNotifyMobile, {});

// Removing a module from the defaults.
defaultModules.delete(PNotifyMobile);

Changing a module's defaults:

import { defaults } from '@pnotify/animate';
// or
const { defaults } = require('@pnotify/animate');

// then
defaults.inClass = 'fadeInDown';
defaults.outClass = 'fadeOutUp';

Modules

Creating Notices with Modules

Besides using the default modules, you can remove or add modules and set their options when you call a notice. The modules Map has modules themselves as keys, and an options object as values.

import { notice, defaultModules } from '@pnotify/core';
import * as PNotifyBootstrap4 from '@pnotify/bootstrap4';
import * as PNotifyFontAwesome4 from '@pnotify/font-awesome4';
import * as PNotifyMobile from '@pnotify/mobile';
import * as PNotifyAnimate from '@pnotify/animate';

defaultModules.set(PNotifyBootstrap4, {});
defaultModules.set(PNotifyFontAwesome4, {});
defaultModules.set(PNotifyMobile, {});

// Remove one of the default modules.
notice({
  text: "I don't have the Mobile module.",
  modules: new Map([
    ...[...defaultModules].filter(([mod]) => mod !== PNotifyMobile),
  ]),
});

// Add an additional module and options.
notice({
  text: 'I use the Animate module in addition to the defaults.',
  modules: new Map([
    ...defaultModules,
    [
      PNotifyAnimate,
      {
        inClass: 'fadeInDown',
        outClass: 'fadeOutUp',
      },
    ],
  ]),
});

// Don't worry about adding a module that's already in the defaults.
// It's a Map, so only the last instance/options will end up in there.
notice({
  text: 'I use the Mobile module with options I specify.',
  modules: new Map([
    ...defaultModules,
    [
      PNotifyMobile,
      {
        swipeDismiss: false,
      },
    ],
  ]),
});

TypeScript

Using modules with TypeScript requires types assertions for module entries, and possibly the downlevelIteration TypeScript option.

import { notice, defaultModules, Notice, ModuleEntry } from '@pnotify/core';
import * as PNotifyConfirm from '@pnotify/confirm';

notice({
  text: "I'm a notice with modules, and my module options are checked by TypeScript.",
  modules: new Map([
    // This requires `"downlevelIteration": true` in your TypeScript config.
    ...defaultModules,
    [
      PNotifyConfirm,
      {
        confirm: true,
        buttons: [
          {
            text: 'Ok',
            primary: true,
            click: (notice: Notice) => notice.close(),
          },
        ],
        // ***
        // Notice the type assertion here. It tells TypeScript that the options
        // are for the Confirm module.
        // ***
      },
    ] as ModuleEntry<typeof PNotifyConfirm>,
  ]),
});

Desktop Module

Notifications that display even when the web page is not visible. Implements the Web Notifications spec.

If the user's browser doesn't support Web Notifications, or they deny permission to show them, they will see regular in-browser notices, unless fallback is false.

npm install --save-dev @pnotify/desktop

import { notice, defaultModules } from '@pnotify/core';
import * as PNotifyDesktop from '@pnotify/desktop';

const myNotice = notice({
  text: "I'm a notice.",
  modules: new Map([
    ...defaultModules,
    [
      PNotifyDesktop,
      {
        // Desktop Module Options
      },
    ],
  ]),
});

PNotifyDesktop.defaults = {

fallback: true
If desktop notifications are not supported or allowed, fall back to a regular notice.
icon: null
The URL of the icon to display. If false, no icon will show. If null, a default icon will show.
tag: null
Using a tag lets you update an existing notice, or keep from duplicating notices between tabs. If you leave tag null, one will be generated, facilitating the update function.
title: null
Optionally display a different title for the desktop.
text: null
Optionally display different text for the desktop.
options: {}
Any additional options to be passed to the Notification constructor.

}

Mobile Module

Notices on mobile phones and tablets.

npm install --save-dev @pnotify/mobile

import { notice, defaultModules } from '@pnotify/core';
import * as PNotifyMobile from '@pnotify/mobile';

const myNotice = notice({
  text: "I'm a notice.",
  modules: new Map([
    ...defaultModules,
    [
      PNotifyMobile,
      {
        // Mobile Module Options
      },
    ],
  ]),
});

PNotifyMobile.defaults = {

swipeDismiss: true
Let the user swipe the notice away.

}

Countdown Module

Give an indication of how much time is left.

npm install --save-dev @pnotify/countdown

import { notice, defaultModules } from '@pnotify/core';
import * as PNotifyCountdown from '@pnotify/countdown';

const myNotice = notice({
  text: "I'm a notice.",
  modules: new Map([
    ...defaultModules,
    [
      PNotifyCountdown,
      {
        // Countdown Module Options
      },
    ],
  ]),
});

PNotifyCountdown.defaults = {

anchor: 'bottom'
Where the countdown bar should anchor. One of 'top', 'bottom', 'left', or 'right'.
reverse: false
Whether the countdown shrinks the other way.

}

Animate Module

Fluid CSS animations using Animate.css.

npm install --save-dev @pnotify/animate

import { notice, defaultModules } from '@pnotify/core';
import * as PNotifyAnimate from '@pnotify/animate';

const myNotice = notice({
  text: "I'm a notice.",
  modules: new Map([
    ...defaultModules,
    [
      PNotifyAnimate,
      {
        // Animate Module Options
      },
    ],
  ]),
});

PNotifyAnimate.defaults = {

inClass: null
The class to use to animate the notice in. If only one of these is set, it will be used for both.
outClass: null
The class to use to animate the notice out. If only one of these is set, it will be used for both.

}

The Animate module also creates a method, attention(aniClass, callback), on notices which accepts an attention grabber class and an animation completed callback.

Confirm Module

Confirmation dialogs and prompts.

npm install --save-dev @pnotify/confirm

import { notice, defaultModules } from '@pnotify/core';
import * as PNotifyConfirm from '@pnotify/confirm';

const myNotice = notice({
  text: "I'm a notice.",
  modules: new Map([
    ...defaultModules,
    [
      PNotifyConfirm,
      {
        // Confirm Module Options
      },
    ],
  ]),
});

PNotifyConfirm.defaults = {

confirm: false
Make a confirmation box.
focus: null
For confirmation boxes, true means the first button or the button with promptTrigger will be focused, and null means focus will change only for modal notices. For prompts, true or null means focus the prompt. When false, focus will not change.
prompt: false
Make a prompt.
promptClass: ''
Classes to add to the input element of the prompt.
promptValue: ''
The value of the prompt. (Note that this is two-way bound to the input.)
promptMultiLine: false
Whether the prompt should accept multiple lines of text.
align: 'flex-end'
Where to align the buttons. (flex-start, center, flex-end, space-around, space-between)

buttons: [
  {
    text: 'Ok',
    primary: true,
    promptTrigger: true,
    click: (notice, value) => {
      notice.close();
      notice.fire('pnotify:confirm', { notice, value });
    },
  },
  {
    text: 'Cancel',
    click: (notice) => {
      notice.close();
      notice.fire('pnotify:cancel', { notice });
    },
  },
];

The buttons to display, and their callbacks. If a button has promptTrigger set to true, it will be triggered when the user hits enter in a prompt (unless they hold shift).

}

Because the default buttons fire notice events on confirmation and cancellation, you can listen for them like this:

import { alert } from '@pnotify/core';
const notice = alert({
  title: 'Confirmation Needed',
  text: 'Are you sure?',
  hide: false,
  modules: {
    Confirm: {
      confirm: true,
    },
  },
});
notice.on('pnotify:confirm', () => {
  // User confirmed, continue here...
});
notice.on('pnotify:cancel', () => {
  // User canceled, continue here...
});

Paginate Module

Provide an index and count of the notices in the stack, and/or buttons to let the user page through them.

npm install --save-dev @pnotify/paginate

import { notice, defaultModules } from '@pnotify/core';
import * as PNotifyPaginate from '@pnotify/paginate';

const myNotice = notice({
  text: "I'm a notice.",
  modules: new Map([
    ...defaultModules,
    [
      PNotifyPaginate,
      {
        // Paginate Module Options
      },
    ],
  ]),
});

PNotifyPaginate.defaults = {

buttons: true
Show next and previous buttons.
count: true
Show the stack notice count.
immediateTransition: true
Immediately transition to the next/previous notice (without animations).
waiting: true
After transitioning, set the closed notice to "waiting" state.
labels: {previous: 'Previous', next: 'Next', of: 'of'}
Various texts. Allows for internationalization.

}

notice.refs.textContainer
The text container DOM element.
notice.refs.iconContainer

Events

Event objects have a detail property that contains information about the event, including a reference to the notice itself.

pnotify:init - Fired upon initialization of a new notice. This event bubbles.
pnotify:mount - Fired when the notice has been mounted into the DOM. This event bubbles.
pnotify:update - Fired when the notice's state changes. Careful, this includes internal state and can be very noisy (don't do anything computationally expensive on this one).
pnotify:beforeOpen - Fired before the notice opens. Use preventDefault() on the event to cancel this action.
pnotify:afterOpen - Fired after the notice opens.
pnotify:enterModal - Fired when the notice enters a modal state. (Opens in a modal stack, or a modalish stack that is in modal state.)
pnotify:leaveModal - Fired when the notice leaves a modal state.
pnotify:beforeClose - Fired before the notice closes. Use preventDefault() on the event to cancel this action.
pnotify:afterClose - Fired after the notice closes.
pnotify:beforeDestroy - Fired before the notice is destroyed. Use preventDefault() on the event to cancel this action.
pnotify:afterDestroy - Fired after the notice is destroyed.

From the Svelte Component API.

Don't use these. I'm putting them in here to document that you should not use them. That way, if you do, and you file a bug report, I can point to this section in the README, and tell you that you did a bad.

notice.$set(options)
You should use update(options) instead. The Svelte API may change.
notice.$on(event, callback)
You should use on(event, callback) instead. The Svelte API may change.
notice.$destroy()
You should use close() with destroy: true instead. It will animate the notice out and remove it from the stack.notices array. Removes the component from the DOM and any observers/event listeners.

Stacks

A stack is an instance of the Stack class used to determine where to position notices and how they interact with each other.

import { alert, Stack } from '@pnotify/core';

const myStack = new Stack({
  dir1: 'up',
});

alert({
  text: "I'm a notice centered at the bottom!",
  stack: myStack,
});

Stack options and their defaults:

dir1: null
The primary stacking direction. Can be 'up', 'down', 'right', or 'left'.
firstpos1: null
Number of pixels from the edge of the context, relative to dir1, the first notice will appear. If null, the current position of the notice, whatever that is, will be used.
spacing1: 25
Number of pixels between notices along dir1.
dir2: null
The secondary stacking direction. Should be a perpendicular direction to dir1. The notices will continue in this direction when they reach the edge of the viewport along dir1.
firstpos2: null
Number of pixels from the edge of the context, relative to dir2, the first notice will appear. If null, the current position of the notice, whatever that is, will be used.
spacing2: 25
Number of pixels between notices along dir2.
push: 'bottom'
Where, in the stack, to push new notices. Can be 'top' or 'bottom'.
maxOpen: 1
How many notices are allowed to be open in this stack at once.
maxStrategy: 'wait'
The strategy to use to ensure maxOpen. Can be 'wait', which will cause new notices to wait their turn, or 'close', which will remove the oldest notice to make room for a new one.
maxClosureCausesWait: true
Whether the notices that are closed to abide by maxOpen when maxStrategy === 'close' should wait and reopen in turn.
modal: 'ish'
Whether the stack should be modal (true), modeless (false), or modalish ('ish'). Modalish stacks are cool. See https://sciactive.com/2020/02/11/the-modalish-notification-flow/.
modalishFlash: true
Whether new notices that start waiting in a modalish stack should flash under the leader notice to show that they have been added.
overlayClose: true
Whether clicking on the modal overlay should close the stack's notices.
overlayClosesPinned: false
Whether clicking on the modal to close notices also closes notices that have been pinned (hide === false).
positioned: true
Whether the notices in this stack are positioned by the stack. If false, the notices are simply part of the normal flow.
context: document.body
The DOM element this stack's notices should appear in.

Stack behavior:

If there is no dir1 property, the notice will be centered in the context.
If there is a dir1 and no dir2, the notices will be centered along the axis of dir1.
The firstpos* values are relative to an edge determined by the corresponding dir* value.
- dirX === 'up' means firstposX is relative to the bottom edge.
- dirX === 'down' means firstposX is relative to the top edge.
- dirX === 'left' means firstposX is relative to the right edge.
- dirX === 'right' means firstposX is relative to the left edge.
Stacks are independent of each other, so a stack doesn't know and doesn't care if it overlaps (and blocks) another stack.
Stack objects are used and manipulated by PNotify, and therefore, should likely be a variable when passed. Only use stack: new Stack({...}) in your options if you intend to have only one notice open like that.

Stack methods:

forEach(callback, { start = 'oldest', dir = 'newer', skipModuleHandled = false } = {})
Run a callback for all the notices in the stack. start can be 'head', 'tail', 'oldest', or 'newest'. dir can be 'next', 'prev', 'older', or 'newer'.
position()
Position all the notices in the stack.
queuePosition(milliseconds = 10)
Queue a position call in that many milliseconds, unless another one is queued beforehand.
close(immediate)
Close all the notices in the stack.
open(immediate)
Open all the notices in the stack.
openLast()
Open the last closed/closing notice in the stack.
swap(one, theOther, immediate = false, waitAfter = false)
If one is open, close it and open theOther instead. Returns a promise that is rejected on failure or resolved on completion.
on(event, callback)
Add an event listener. Returns a function that will remove the listener when called.

There are other methods on the stack class, but you shouldn't use them. They're meant to be internal, so they begin with an underscore.

Stack properties:

stack.notices - An "array" of notices. It's actually built on the fly from the double linked list the notices are really stored in.
stack.length - How many notices there are in the stack.
stack.leader - When a stack is modalish, this is the notice that is open in the non-modal state.

All of the options are properties as well.

Stack events and event.detail contents:

'beforePosition', { stack }
Before the notices in the stack are positioned.
'afterPosition', { stack }
After the notices in the stack are positioned.
'beforeAddNotice', { stack, notice }
Before a notice is added to the stack.
'afterAddNotice', { stack, notice }
After a notice is added to the stack.
'beforeOpenNotice', { stack, notice }
Before a notice in the stack is opened.
'afterOpenNotice', { stack, notice }
After a notice in the stack is opened.
'beforeCloseNotice', { stack, notice }
Before a notice in the stack is closed.
'afterCloseNotice', { stack, notice }
After a notice in the stack is closed.
'beforeRemoveNotice', { stack, notice }
Before a notice is removed from the stack.
'afterRemoveNotice', { stack, notice }
After a notice is removed from the stack.
'beforeSetLeader', { stack, leader }
Before a notice is set as the leader of the stack. The leader is the notice that is open in a Modalish stack.
'afterSetLeader', { stack, leader }
After a notice is set as the leader of the stack. The leader is the notice that is open in a Modalish stack.
'beforeAddOverlay', { stack }
Before the stack opens an overlay, indicating it is in modal mode.
'afterAddOverlay', { stack }
After the stack opens an overlay, indicating it is in modal mode.
'beforeRemoveOverlay', { stack }
Before the stack closes and removes the overlay, indicating it is exiting modal mode.
'afterRemoveOverlay', { stack }
After the stack closes and removes the overlay, indicating it is exiting modal mode.
'overlayClose', { stack, clickEvent }
When the user clicks the overlay to close the stack. You can call clickEvent.preventDefault() to cancel the close action.

⚠️ Calling something like alert({text: 'notice', stack: new Stack({dir1: 'down', firstpos1: 25})}); may not do what you want. It will create a notice, but that notice will be in its own stack and will overlap other notices.

Example Stack

Here is an example stack with comments to explain. You can play with it here.

const stackBottomModal = new Stack({
  dir1: 'up', // With a dir1 of 'up', the stacks will start appearing at the bottom.
  // Without a `dir2`, this stack will be horizontally centered, since the `dir1` axis is vertical.
  firstpos1: 25, // The notices will appear 25 pixels from the bottom of the context.
  // Without a `spacing1`, this stack's notices will be placed 25 pixels apart.
  push: 'top', // Each new notice will appear at the bottom of the screen, which is where the 'top' of the stack is. Other notices will be pushed up.
  modal: true, // When a notice appears in this stack, a modal overlay will be created.
  overlayClose: true, // When the user clicks on the overlay, all notices in this stack will be closed.
  context: document.getElementById('page-container'), // The notices will be placed in the 'page-container' element.
});

If you just want to position a single notice programmatically, and don't want to add any other notices into the stack, you can use something like this:

alert({
  text: "Notice that's positioned in its own stack.",
  stack: new Stack({
    dir1: 'down',
    dir2: 'right', // Position from the top left corner.
    firstpos1: 90,
    firstpos2: 90, // 90px from the top, 90px from the left.
  }),
});

Browser Compatibility and Build Size

PNotify provides prebuilt JS files, and those files are run through Babel to provide compatibility with older browsers. As such, their build size grows to maintain compatibility. If this is not acceptable, you can build much smaller (~80% of original) files yourself with:

git clone https://github.com/sciactive/pnotify.git
cd pnotify
npm i
mv .browserslistrc-smallbuild .browserslistrc
npx lerna bootstrap
npm build

You should now have dist folders in all the packages with smaller (but only compatible with newer browsers) build files. Note that this doesn't apply to Svelte projects, because they build the PNotify *.svelte source files anyway.
