Basic Usage

You can render a snackbar in your UI and control its open state.

function Example() {
  const [open, setOpen] = React.useState(false);

  return (
    <>
      <Snackbar
        open={open}
        onClose={evt => setOpen(false)}
        message="This is a new message"
        dismissesOnAction
        action={
          <SnackbarAction
            label="Dismiss"
            onClick={() => console.log('Click Me')}
          />
        }
      />

      <Button
        raised
        label="Show snackbar"
        onClick={evt => setOpen(!open)}
      />
    </>
  );
}

function Example() {
  const [open, setOpen] = React.useState(false);

  return (
    <>
      <Snackbar
        open={open}
        onClose={evt => setOpen(false)}
        message="Start aligned, open until dismissed"
        stacked
        dismissesOnAction
        action={[
          <SnackbarAction label="Yeah!" />,
          <SnackbarAction label="No..." />
        ]}
        leading
        timeout={-1}
      />

      <Button
        raised
        label="Show start-aligned"
        onClick={evt => setOpen(!open)}
      />
    </>
  );
}

Usage with SnackbarQueue

While rendering the Snackbar inline works for simple cases, you'll likely have a notification system, or want to send notifications from anywhere in your app. The SnackbarQueue exists as a convenient interface for handling these cases and rendering the snackbar messages for you. If you've used the DialogQueue, the SnackbarQueue is very similar.

Setup is nice and easy, create a queue object you can pass around in your code base, pass the queues messages to the SnackbarQueue component, and then use the notify function to send notifications.

// Create a file that exports your queue
// myQueue.js
import { createSnackbarQueue } from '@pmwcs/snackbar';

export const queue = createSnackbarQueue()

// Somewhere at the top level of your app
// Render the SnackbarQueue
import { h } from 'preact'
import { queue } from './myQueue';

export default function App() {
  return (
    <div>
      ...
      <SnackbarQueue
        messages={queue.messages}
        // You can also pass default options to pass to your notifications
        // ie, make them all leading, stacked, etc
        leading
        stacked
      />
    </div>
  )
}

The notify function was designed to mimic the the built-in browser Notifications api and can accept most of the relevant options (icon, image, title, body, actions, ,etc). It also can accept any of the Snackbar props. Just import your queue, and call the notify method.

// Somewhere else in your app
// Could be a view, your redux store, anywhere you want...
import { queue } from './myQueue';

// Simple example
queue.notify({
  title: 'Hi there'
});

// With some features
queue.notify({
  title: <b>Warning</b>,
  body: 'You have selected pizza instead icecream!',
  icon: 'warning',
  actions: [
    {
      // NotificationAction api format
      title: 'Fix It!',
      icon: 'close',
      action: 'fixit' // action will be available as evt.detail.reason in the onClose event
    },
    {
      // OR SnackbarActionProps format
      label: 'Continue...',
      icon: 'check',
      onClick: () => {}
    },
  ]
})

() => {
  const { messages, notify } = createSnackbarQueue();

  function App() {
    return (
      <div>
        <Button
          label="Notify"
          onClick={() =>
            notify({
              title: <b>Success</b>,
              body: 'You have selected pizza!',
              dismissesOnAction: true,
              icon: 'check',
              actions: [
                {
                  title: 'Dismiss'
                }
              ]
            })
          }
        />
        <SnackbarQueue messages={messages} />
      </div>
    );
  }
  return <App />;
}
