Package Exports

vue-flash-message

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (vue-flash-message) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

vue-flash-message

Simple yet flexible vue flash alert message component. It is made to display a list of messages and give individual control over each instance and global message storage. Component is inspired by old goodies as jGrowl.

Demo & Example

Live demo

Install

  npm install --save vue-flash-message

Configuration

import Vue from 'vue';
import VueFlashMessage from 'vue-flash-message';
Vue.use(VueFlashMessage);

You can rename default flash method via options:

Vue.use(VueFlashMessage, { method: 'iPreferQuickSilver' });

Usage

Output flash message pool and configure transitions.

<flash-message class="myCustomClass"></flash-message>

(Optional) Include pre defined basic css.

require('vue-flash-message/dist/vue-flash-message.min.css');

Emit flash messages from any component with a flash (or custom named) method.

this.flash('Data loaded', 'success');
this.flash('Validation failed', 'error');
this.flash('Spawning too much alerts is a bad UX', 'warning');
this.flash('Live long and prosper', 'info');

Shortcut methods

You can also use shortcut methods to output common message types

this.flashSuccess('Data loaded');
this.flashError('Validation failed');
this.flashWwarning('Spawning too much alerts is a bad UX');
this.flashIinfo('Live long and prosper');

You if you don't want to spoil your components with these methods, you can switch them off by using createShortcuts config option.

Vue.use(VueFlashMessage, {
  createShortcuts: false,
});

this.flash('Hello World', 'success', {
  timeout: 3000,
