Install

npm install --save react-announcement

Usage

import * as React from 'react'
import Logo from './logo.svg'
import Announcement from 'react-announcement'
 
class Example extends React.Component {
  render () {
    return (
      <Announcement
          title="Here is your component"
          subtitle="The best announcement component for React is finally here. Install it in all your projects."
          link="https://github.com/kristofferandreasen/react-announcement"
          imageSource={Logo}
      />
    )
  }
}

Usage with optional properties

This example includes the optional properties in the component.

The daysToLive property changes to cookie created by the component. This way you can control how many days you want to wait before you show the announcement to the same user.

The secondsBeforeBannerShows property changes the amount of seconds a user wait before the announcement is presented.

The closeIconSize is to allow you to change to size of the icon in the top right corner.

import * as React from 'react'
import Logo from './logo.svg'
import Announcement from 'react-announcement'
 
class Example extends React.Component {
  render () {
    return (
      <Announcement
          title="Here is your component"
          subtitle="The best announcement component for React is finally here. Install it in all your projects."
          link="https://github.com/kristofferandreasen/react-announcement"
          imageSource={Logo}
          daysToLive={3}
          secondsBeforeBannerShows={20}
          closeIconSize={30}
      />

Responsive

Developing

The project is bootstrapped with create-react-library and TypeScript has been added to the project. You can read more about the development workflow in the project docs.

To start developing, you need to open two terminals.

In the first tab, run from the main directory:

npm start

This will activate rollup to watch for any changes to your src directory and build the dist everytime.

In another terminal, navigate to the example folder:

cd example

Then run:

npm install

and finally:

npm start

This will start up the development server allowing you to see the results. Be aware that the solution is setting a cookie and this cookie will be stored in your browser. In order to see the banner again, you will need to open the localhost link in incognito or clear your browser cookies.

Publishing to NPM

You can publish to NPM with the following commands. Make sure to update peerDependencies and package.json version of the library.

npm publish

Deploy to Github Pages

The example folder is published to Github Pages to provide an example page of the library. This is done by using the publish command.

npm publish
