6px-alert-service v0.0.1

6px Angular Alert Service

A start for Angular modules

Getting started

This provides a alert service for use with Angular 4+ apps using 6px UI. All files you need live in /src.

Note: There is a package.json file inside of the /dist which is needed for publishing.

Once you have cloned the repo. From the root you can run npm run build. This will run scripts to cleanup, ngc, bundle, minify, and copy.

Publish

To publish to npm you set this up, then run npm run npm-to-publish. This uses the package noted above.

Local development

To develop locally you want to do the following:

npm run build

cd dist/

npm link

This creates a symlink to your global node_modules. Then from your working directory:

npm link 6px-alert-service

Once you are linked to your local copy of the module. In your systemjs.config.js file you need to add you mapping.

map: {
  app: 'app',
  // angular bundles
  ...
  '6px-alert-service': 'node_modules/6px-alert-service/bundles/6px-angular-alert-service.umd.js'
}

NOTE: The name of your bundle is created inside your rollup.config.js file. Rollup us used for creating the umd module.

Then add this to your app.module.ts file.

import { SpxAlertServiceModule } from '6px-alert-service';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    SpxAlertServiceModule
    ...
  ]
})

Add the tag to your root .html file, this displays your alerts.

<spx-alert></spx-alert>

Now you can use this inside your application by importing the service and calling it's methods.

Add an alert:
@params message: string
@params type: string['success', 'fail', 'info']
@params callback: Function
addAlert(message, type, callback);


Remove an alert:
@params index: number
removeAlertByIndex(index);


Clear all:
clearAll();

Example -

import { SpxAlertService } from '6px-alert-service';

export class AppComponent {
  constructor(private spxAlert: SpxAlertService) {}

  createAlert() {
    this.spxAlert.addAlert('Toast Message', 'success', this.callbackMethod);
  }

  callbackMethod() {
    alert('Alert the callback');
  }
}

Live updates locally

When developing, make your changes and then run npm run build. Once this finishes just refresh and your changes should be seen locally.
