sting

Sting 1.5kb

is a simple non-dependent, lightweight and customisable notification engine.

Description

Notifications comes in many shapes and forms and yet they all seem to have the same requirements - or at least the most of them. Sting serves the purpos of kickstarting and streamlining your on-site notifications so that you can focus on getting the right messages out there.

Jumping into the source you'd quickly realize that there's no magic going on here. No fancy buzzword-dependencies, promises, observables or other browser-support-concerning-functionality. Just plug it in and get your message out there.

Give me an example already

chill dude - here you go!

// You obviusly need to include Sting
import Sting from 'sting';
 
// Make your first Sting notification area, with everything on default
const topNotifications = new Sting({
    className: 'sting__notifications', // Wrapper className
    duration: 3000, // 0 or false to disable disapearing notifications
    parentElement: document.body // Where should we inject the notification area?
});
 
// Boom guys! This is the magic
topNotifications.notify('Hey guys - Check this out!');

Let's say i'd like to wrap it in a promise, for example?

I thought you might ask that Here is an example of how to extend the functinallity to support promises

class StingPromise extends Sting {
    constructor(config) {
        super(config);
    }
 
    notify(message) {
        return new Promise((resolve) => {
            let notification = super.notify(message);
            notification.on('remove:post', () => resolve(notification));
        });
    }
}
 
const topNotification = new StingPromise();
topNotification.notify('Sleeeeek').then((notification) => {
    console.log('awesome');
});
