##Installation

You can install angular-growl-v2 with bower:

bower install angular-growl-v2

Alternatively you can download the files in the build folder manually and include them in your project.

<html>
  <head>
    <link href="bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <script src="angular.min.js"></script>

    <link href="angular-growl.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <script src="angular-growl.js"></script>
  </head>
</html>

As angular-growl is based on its own angularJS module, you have to alter your dependency list when creating your application module:

var app = angular.module('myApp', ['angular-growl']);

Finally, you have to include the directive somewhere in your HTML like this:

<body>
    <div growl></div>
</body>

##Usage

Just let angular inject the growl Factory into your code and call the 4 functions that the factory provides accordingly:

app.controller("demoCtrl", ['$scope', 'growl', function($scope, growl) {
  $scope.addSpecialWarnMessage = function() {
    growl.warning("This adds a warn message");
    growl.info("This adds a info message");
    growl.success("This adds a success message");
    growl.error("This adds a error message");
  }
}]);

The title must be set as a configuration parameter:

app.controller("demoCtrl", ['$scope', 'growl', function($scope, growl) {
  $scope.addSpecialWarnMessage = function() {
    growl.warning("This adds a warn message", {title: 'Warning!'});
    growl.info("This adds a info message", {title: 'Random Information'});
    growl.success("This adds a success message"); //no title here
    growl.error("This adds a error message", {title: 'ALERT WE GOT ERROR'});
  }
}]);

If angular-translate is present, its filter is automatically called for translating of messages, so you have to provide only the key:

app.controller("demoCtrl", ['$scope', 'growl', function($scope, growl) {
  $scope.addSpecialWarnMessage = function() {
      growl.success("SAVE_SUCCESS_MESSAGE");
      growl.error("VALIDATION_ERROR");
  }
}]);
