react-mui-snackbar-helper v1.0.1

MUI Snackbar Helper

This library allows you to use Snackbar (from mui)imperatively and easily accros components. Imagine you ahve a web app with +20 pages, then you have to setup the snackbar component in each one and add multiple states to manage the opening/closing, position, message, title ... of the snackbar, or use a state with an object conatining all the props for the snackbar, not to mention pasing down callbacks to subcomponents to show the snackbar upon an action. So I created this library to simplify all this using Context API and Hooks, and you simply can control the snackbar imepartively from any component.

Installation

npm install react-mui-snackbar-helper

Setup

The Library exports SnackbarProvider, you can wrap the app with the provider then you can use it from any page or any component. alternatively you can wrap a certain portion only, for example; a certain route or subpage.

root.render(

    <React.StrictMode>
        <SnackbarProvider>
          <App />
        </SnackbarProvider>
    </React.StrictMode>

);

Usage

Hooks

• You can use the useSnackbar Hook, it returns the following:

const {
 // helper methods start
    showMessage,
    showErrorMessage,
    showSuccessMessage,
    showWarningMessage,
    showInfoMessage,
 // helper methods end
 
    snackbarRef //ref to the AlertSnackbar component
} = useSnackbar();

• you can use the helper methods as follows:

/**
 *	@param message:React.ReactNode
 *. @param title:React.ReactNode
 *  @param timeout:number @default(5000)  im millisecond
 */
showSuccessMessage("This is a success Message", "Success Title",2000)
showWarningMessage("This is a warning Message", "Warning Title",3000)
showInfoMessage("This is a info Message", "Info Title")
showErrorMessage("This is a error Message", "Error Title")

• Alternatively, if you want to show message with severity from a variable you can use the showMessage helper method that takes severity as the first argument instead of using switch case with the explicit helper methods.

/**
 *	@param severity:AlertColor
 *	@param message:React.ReactNode
 *. @param title:React.ReactNode
 *  @param timeout:number @default(5000)  im millisecond
 */
showMessage("success","This is a success Message", "Success Title",2000)
showMessage("warning","This is a warning Message", "Warning Title",3000)
showMessage("info","This is a info Message", "Info Title")
showMessage("error","This is a error Message", "Error Title")

Using The Ref

snackbarRef.current?.setAlertData(
    {
        severity: 'success',
        message: "This is a success Message",
        timeout: 3000,
        title: "Success Title",
    }
)
snackbarRef.current?.open()

HOCs

The library also export SnackbarConsumer

<SnackbarConsumer>
    ({    
        showMessage,
        showErrorMessage,
        showSuccessMessage,
        showWarningMessage,
        showInfoMessage
        snackbarRef 
    })=> (
        <></>
    )
</SnackbarConsumer>

Customization

• Any Customization to the material theme will affect the Snackbar.

• You can use the snackbarRef to call setter methods that change the styling and the positioning.
