Tweet Summary is a jQuery plugin to provide simple yet fully customisable notifications. The javascript code snippets in this documentation with the green edge are runnable by clicking them. $.notify("Hello World"); Download Download including the pre-made bootstrap notification style: Download notify.js Download notify.min.js Basic Usage Element Notifications You can place notifications on any element: $(".elem-demo").notify("Hello Box"); Like this box Global Notifications If you don't specify an element, notification will appear in the top left (unless you specify a different position - See Positioning ) $.notify("I'm over here !"); Notification Styles Each style may define a set of classes to use to substyle the notification. The pre-packaged version includes a bootstrap notification style (see more below in Styling). These classes include: Success $.notify("Access granted", "success"); Info $.notify("Do not press this button", "info"); Warning $.notify("Warning: Self-destruct in 3.. 2..", "warn"); Error $.notify("BOOM!", "error"); Note: This page has set the default class to "success" with $.notify.defaults({ className: "success" }); . Positioning The position string option is used to describe both vertical and horizontal alignment. Element notifications and Global notifications can be vertically repositioned to: "top" , "middle" or "bottom" and horozontally repositioned to: "left" , "center" or "right" . If we don't provide a position option the default alignments are defined in the default settings: globalPosition and elementPosition . When only one alignment is provided, the vertical alignment is middle and horizontal alignment is centre . $(".pos-demo").notify( "I'm to the right of this box", { position:"right" } ); We can position the notification around this box Use this positioning tool to see all possible position combinations. Element Global An awesome cool larrrggggeeee box API $.notify( string|object , [ options ]) string|object - global notification data options - an options object or class name string $.notify( element , string|object , [ options ]) element - a jquery element string|object - element notification data options - an options object or class name string $( selector ).notify( string|object , [ options ]) selector - jquery selector string|object - element notification data options - an options object or class name string $.notify.addStyle( styleName , styleDefinition ) styleName - string (the style option references this name) styleDefinition - style definition object (see Styling below) $.notify.defaults( options ) options - an options object (updates the defaults listed below) Options The options object listed above are in the form below. This object below is the actual used to check option validity and set defaults. { // whether to hide the notification on click clickToHide: true, // whether to auto-hide the notification autoHide: true, // if autoHide, hide after milliseconds autoHideDelay: 5000, // show the arrow pointing at the element arrowShow: true, // arrow size in pixels arrowSize: 5, // position defines the notification position though uses the defaults below position: '...', // default positions elementPosition: 'bottom left', globalPosition: 'top right', // default style style: 'bootstrap', // default class (string or [string]) className: 'error', // show animation showAnimation: 'slideDown', // show animation duration showDuration: 400, // hide animation hideAnimation: 'slideUp', // hide animation duration hideDuration: 200, // padding between element and notification gap: 2 } Custom Styling Guide You can add your own styles to with the $.notify.addStyle method. See API . Style definition objects are in the form: { //required html representing each notification html: "", //optional object to be converted to css classes: { <className>: { <propertyName>: <value> }, <className>: { ... }, ... }, //optional css to be inserted onto the page css: "" } html - If you only have HTML element that you need to modify per notification then you should give this element an attribute of data-notify-text or data-notify-html . Use data-notify-html if you wish to display arbitrary HTML inside the notification, otherwise, use data-notify-text as it is more secure. Otherwise, if you wish to modify multiple HTML elements per notification then you'll need to give each element one of the two attributes above as well as a value . For an example of this see the Advanced Example below. classes - This object will be used to construct css. It must be in the form described above and there is an example below. css - This string is simply raw css. Use this property if you want to keep your style definition inside your js files. Class naming convention When each notification is constructed, it's container (outer most element defined in your style html) will automatically apply the class: notifyjs-<style name>-base When you use the class name option ( className ) the class: notifyjs-<style name>-<class name> will be applied. So if you define your styles in an external CSS file or in the style's css property, you must define your CSS rules using this naming convention. Simple Example If you were to define the style: $.notify.addStyle('happyblue', { html: "<div>☺<span data-notify-text/>☺</div>", classes: { base: { "white-space": "nowrap", "background-color": "lightblue", "padding": "5px" }, superblue: { "color": "white", "background-color": "blue" } } }); Upon running this code, the classes object in this example will be converted the following css: .notifyjs-happyblue-base { white-space: nowrap; background-color: lightblue; padding: 5px; } .notifyjs-happyblue-superblue { color: white; background-color: blue; } You can confirm this now by inspecting the DOM (look for the tagged style element in the head) You can now use your new style with: $.notify('hello !!', { style: 'happyblue' }); and you can use the superblue class with: $.notify('HELLO !!!!', { style: 'happyblue', className: 'superblue' }); Advanced Example Say you wanted to use buttons in your notifications then you could do something like: //add a new style 'foo' $.notify.addStyle('foo', { html: "<div>" + "<div class='clearfix'>" + "<div class='title' data-notify-html='title'/>" + "<div class='buttons'>" + "<button class='no'>Cancel</button>" + "<button class='yes' data-notify-text='button'></button>" + "</div>" + "</div>" + "</div>" }); //listen for click events from this style $(document).on('click', '.notifyjs-foo-base .no', function() { //programmatically trigger propogating hide event $(this).trigger('notify-hide'); }); $(document).on('click', '.notifyjs-foo-base .yes', function() { //show button text alert($(this).text() + " clicked!"); //hide notification $(this).trigger('notify-hide'); }); Notice there is no classes property defined above. Since the CSS in this example is non-trivial, we'll use an exteral CSS file instead: Note: you could also convert this CSS code to a JavaScript string and use it with the css property. It's not very readable though it's better for distribution. .notifyjs-foo-base { opacity: 0.85; width: 200px; background: #F5F5F5; padding: 5px; border-radius: 10px; } .notifyjs-foo-base .title { width: 100px; float: left; margin: 10px 0 0 10px; text-align: right; } .notifyjs-foo-base .buttons { width: 70px; float: right; font-size: 9px; padding: 5px; margin: 2px; } .notifyjs-foo-base button { font-size: 9px; padding: 5px; margin: 2px; width: 60px; } You can now use this style with: $.notify({ title: 'Would you like some Foo ?', button: 'Confirm' }, { style: 'foo', autoHide: false, clickToHide: false }); Extra Example If using the above methods still don't provide you with what you need then you can, pass jQuery objects straight into the notification (provided that the element has the data-notify-html attribute): var h5 = $("<h5/>"...
