Livewire Notifier

Greetings!

Let me to introduce new TALL-stack component Livewire Notifier.

It brings modern notifications system both for Frontend and Backend. Messages can be spawned either by JavaScript from browser or by PHP from any Livewire Component or Laravel Controller. It has zero dependencies above TALL-stack itself.

Let's start.

Livewire - Notifier

Livewire Notifier is a simple notifications system with zero dependencies above TALL-stack (Tailwind CSS, Alpine.JS, Laravel and Livewire).

Requirements

Make sure that Livewire and Alpine.JS are installed properly.
The easiest way to do it is to install Laravel Jetstream with Livewire stack (post-install command php artisan jetstream:install livewire).

Alpine.JS must be imported in resources/js/app.js package:

import 'alpinejs'
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Livewire scripts and styles tags must be present in the layout file:

<head><livewire:styles/></head>
<body><livewire:scripts/>
</body>
</html>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Installation

Via Composer

$ composer require codespb/livewire-notifier
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Proceed with installation process:

$ php artisan livewire-notifier:install
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Afterwards the package config can be found at config/livewire-notifier.php and views at resources/views/vendor/livewire-notifier/.

It's required because of Tailwind config is needed to be extended with new purge paths.

Otherwise you won't see messages styled properly.

Usage

Put Livewire-component <livewire:notifier/> into the app layout.
Make sure to insert it into correct context because it may be positioned absolutely.

Now you can use it from frontend and backend both.

Message options

Message added at backend (from any Livewire component) must have type of array.
Message added at frontend (from JavaScript) must have type of object.

$message = [
        'text' => __('Post is saved!'),
        'title' => '', // Optional
        'type' => 'success', // Optional. By default: success | optional: error (or fail), warning (or warn), info
        // you can find all types options in the config file
        'icon' => '', // Optional. It replaces the default type icon. Can be pure html or svg code

        // Attention! The following options override ones from the config file

        'duration' => 5000, // Optional. The time of message to be shown. To show infinitely set to 0
        'msgClass' =>  'bg-gradient-to-r from-green-200 to-green-300', // Optional. Tailwind class for message container
        'progressClass' =>  'bg-green-500', // Optional. Tailwind class for progress bar. If null progress bar won't be shown
        'closable' => false, // Optional. True by default. Whether message is closable by click on message or Esc key press on window
    ]
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
let message = {
    text: 'Post is saved!'
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Backend

Livewire event

From any Livewire component push emit trigger to render new message.

public function save(){
    ...
    $this->emitTo('notifier','message',['text'=>__('The post is saved!')]);
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Session flash variable

public function save(){
    ...
    session()->flash('notifier',['text'=>__('The post is saved!')]);
    return $this->redirect(route('posts'));
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Frontend

Add new message from javascript:

Livewire.emitTo('notifier','message',{text:'The post is saved!'})
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Livewire Notifier

Example

Try to put the following code (with Laravel Jetstream w/Livewire stack installed):

<div class="flex flex-row space-x-4">
    <x-jet-button x-data="{}" @click="Livewire.emitTo('notifier','message',{text:'Success',type:'success'})">Success</x-jet-button>
    <x-jet-button x-data="{}" @click="Livewire.emitTo('notifier','message',{text:'Error',type:'error'})">Error</x-jet-button>
    <x-jet-button x-data="{}" @click="Livewire.emitTo('notifier','message',{text:'Warning',type:'warning'})">Warning</x-jet-button>
    <x-jet-button x-data="{}" @click="Livewire.emitTo('notifier','message',{text:'Info',type:'info'})">Info</x-jet-button>
    <x-jet-button x-data="{}" @click="Livewire.emitTo('notifier','message',{text:'Default',type:'default'})">Default</x-jet-button>
</div>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Config file

After php artisan livewire-notifier:install command is fired, config file will be published to config/livewire-notifier.php. There you can change some value for customization.

<?php
return [
    // Messages container positioning
    'positionClass' => 'absolute top-0 right-0',
    // Default message Tailwind stylinh
    'defaultMsgClass' => 'w-80 rounded-xl shadow-xl',
    // Time of each message to be shown by default
    'duration' => 2200,
    // Messages types
    'types' => [
        'success' => [
            // 'msgClass'=>'bg-green-200',
            'msgClass'=>'bg-gradient-to-r from-green-200 to-green-300',
            'progressClass' => 'bg-green-500',
            // View for icon
            'icon' => 'livewire-notifier::icons.success',
        ],
        'error' => [
            // 'msgClass'=>'bg-red-200',
            'msgClass'=>'bg-gradient-to-r from-red-200 to-red-300',
            'progressClass' => 'bg-red-500',
            // View for icon
            'icon' => 'livewire-notifier::icons.error',
        ],
        'fail' => [
            // 'msgClass'=>'bg-red-200',
            'msgClass'=>'bg-gradient-to-r from-red-200 to-red-300',
            'progressClass' => 'bg-red-500',
            // View for icon
            'icon' => 'livewire-notifier::icons.error',
        ],
        'warning' => [
            // 'msgClass'=>'bg-yellow-200',
            'msgClass'=>'bg-gradient-to-r from-yellow-200 to-yellow-300',
            'progressClass' => 'bg-yellow-500',
            // View for icon
            'icon' => 'livewire-notifier::icons.error',
        ],
        'warn' => [
            // 'msgClass'=>'bg-yellow-200',
            'msgClass'=>'bg-gradient-to-r from-yellow-200 to-yellow-300',
            'progressClass' => 'bg-yellow-500',
            // View for icon
            'icon' => 'livewire-notifier::icons.error',
        ],
        'info' => [
            // 'msgClass'=>'bg-blue-200',
            'msgClass'=>'bg-gradient-to-r from-blue-200 to-blue-300',
            'progressClass' => 'bg-blue-500',
            // View for icon
            'icon' => 'livewire-notifier::icons.info',
        ],
        'default' => [
            // 'msgClass'=>'bg-gray-200',
            'msgClass'=>'bg-gradient-to-r from-gray-200 to-gray-300',
            'progressClass' => 'bg-gray-700',
            // View for icon
            'icon' => 'livewire-notifier::icons.info',
        ]
    ]
];
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
