Installation

Make sure that you are in your React Native project directory and run:

$ npm install react-native-message-bar --save

Basic Usage

    1. Import the react-native-message-bar package
var MessageBarAlert = require('react-native-message-bar').MessageBar;
var MessageBarManager = require('react-native-message-bar').MessageBarManager;
    1. Add the MessageBarAlert to your render function Note: Add it at the very end of your render function, the alert will then be displayed over any component of the view
// Within your render function.
// Include the MessageBar once within your top View element
// Make sure you add the MessageBar at the very bottom of your master component, then it will be displayed over all other components
<MessageBarAlert ref="alert" />
    1. Register and Release your Message Bar as the current main alert
componentDidMount() {
  // Register the alert located on this master page
  // This MessageBar will be accessible from the current (same) component, and from its child component
  // The MessageBar is then declared only once, in your main component.
  MessageBarManager.registerMessageBar(this.refs.alert);
}

componentWillUnmount() {
  // Remove the alert located on this master page from the manager
  MessageBarManager.unregisterMessageBar();
}
    1. Display the Message Bar Alert on demand
// Call this method after registering your MessageBar as the current alert
// By calling this method the registered alert will be displayed
// This is useful to show the alert from your current page or a child component
MessageBarManager.showAlert({
  title: 'Your alert title goes here',
  message: 'Your alert message goes here',
  alertType: 'success',
  // See Properties section for full customization
  // Or check `index.ios.js` or `index.android.js` for a complete example
});

Please note, if you do not provide a alertType, the info one will be chosen for you.

The normal duration of the notification is 3 seconds (3000 ms), you can override it. After this time, the notification is going to be hidden

See a full Example in index.ios.js or index.android.js.

Hide the Message Bar Alert

// You can force the current alert to be hidden through the Manager
MessageBarManager.hideAlert();

Customize Alert Type

The Message Bar Alert comes with 4 pre-configured alert style and 1 undefined extra. These alert styles defined the background color of the alert and the line stroke color. The 4 pre-configured alert styles are:

  • info defined blue colors

  • warning defined orange colors
  • error defined red colors

The extra alert type allows you to use another 5th type.

MessageBarManager.showAlert({
  ...

  alertType: 'info', // Alert Type: you can select one of 'success', 'error', 'warning', 'error', or 'custom' (use custom if you use a 5th stylesheet, all are customizable). Default is 'info'

  /* Customize the stylesheets and/or provide an additional one 'extra' */
  stylesheetInfo : {{ backgroundColor : '#007bff', strokeColor : '#006acd' }}, // Default are blue colors
  stylesheetSuccess : {{ backgroundColor : 'darkgreen', strokeColor : '#b40000' }}, // Default are Green colors
  stylesheetWarning : {{ backgroundColor : '#ff9c00', strokeColor : '#f29400' }}, // Default are orange colors
  stylesheetError : {{ backgroundColor : '#ff3232', strokeColor : '#FF0000' }}, // Default are red colors
  stylesheetExtra : {{ backgroundColor : 'black', strokeColor : 'gray' }}, // Default are blue colors, same as info
