Notification

Display a notification message globally.

When To Use#

To display a notification message at any of the four corners of the viewport. Typically it can be used in the following cases:

  • A notification with complex content.

  • A notification providing a feedback based on the user interaction. Or it may show some details about upcoming steps the user may have to follow.

  • A notification that is pushed by the application.

Examples

The simplest usage that close the notification box after 4.5s.

Duration can be used to specify how long the notification stays open. After the duration time elapses, the notification closes automatically. If not specified, default value is 4.5 seconds. If you set the value to 0, the notification box will never close automatically.

expand codeexpand code
import { Button, notification } from 'infrad';
import React from 'react';

const openNotification = () => {
  const args = {
    message: 'Notification Title',
    description:
      'I will never close automatically. This is a purposely very very long description that has many many characters and words.',
    duration: 0,
  };
  notification.open(args);
};

const App: React.FC = () => (
  <Button type="primary" onClick={openNotification}>
    Open the notification box
  </Button>
);

export default App;

To customize the style or font of the close button.

  const key = `open${Date.now()}`;
  const btn = (

notification also provides a global config() method that can be used for specifying the default options. Once this method is used, all the notification boxes will take into account these globally defined options when displaying.

  • notification.config(options)

    When you use ConfigProvider for global configuration, the system will automatically start RTL mode by default.(4.3.0+)

    When you want to use it alone, you can start the RTL mode through the following settings.

notification.config({
  placement: 'bottomRight',
  bottom: 50,
  duration: 3,
  rtl: true,
});

FAQ#

Why I can not access context, redux, ConfigProvider locale/prefixCls in notification?#

antd will dynamic create React instance by ReactDOM.render when call notification methods. Whose context is different with origin code located context.

When you need context info (like ConfigProvider context), you can use notification.useNotification to get api instance and contextHolder node. And put it in your children:

const [api, contextHolder] = notification.useNotification();

return (
  <Context1.Provider value="Ant">
    {/* contextHolder is inside Context1 which means api will get value of Context1 */}
    {contextHolder}
    <Context2.Provider value="Design">
      {/* contextHolder is outside Context2 which means api will **not** get value of Context2 */}
    </Context2.Provider>
  </Context1.Provider>
);

Note: You must insert contextHolder into your children with hooks. You can use origin method if you do not need context connection.
