All contributions are welcome! Please submit pull requests. Do not forget to add tests and make sure everything is green or travis will get ya!

Testing

Unit tests

To run the unit tests execute the following command from within your checkout:

meteor test-packages ./

UI tests

To make my life and yours easier I've also created some basic UI tests for this project. They are stored in the meteor-notifications-example repository.

After each new version the example page is updated to use the latest version, after which travis runs the UI tests. But you can ofcourse also run them locally.

1. Clone the example page repo
2. From within your checkout run the following commands:

mkdir -p app/packages
ln -s #YourNotificationsPackageCheckoutDirectory# app/packages/gfk:notifications

3. Make sure you have the example page running on port 3000
4. From within the example page repo checkout run: ```nightwatch -c firefoxDev

The example page is also a good place to debug/check your new functionality. Consider adding a example of the new functionality and creating a PR for that too!

API

Basics

To create a notification

First add the following to the template you want to be the parent for your notifications.

{{> notifications}}

Then run the following code in your application to spawn a notification of the type of the method you use to spawn it:

Notifications.warn('title', 'message');
Notifications.error('title', 'message');
Notifications.info('title', 'message');
Notifications.success('title', 'message');

Changing default settings

To change the animation speed or the hideAnimationProperties, you need to change the Notifications.settings object.

Example:

Meteor.startup(function () {
    Notifications.settings.animationSpeed = 500;
});

Default options to be used for each notification can be changed in the Notifications.defaultOptions object.

Example:

Meteor.startup(function () {
    _.extend(Notifications.defaultOptions, {
        timeout: 5000
    });
});

Optionally, you can also provide type-specific options by changing the Notifications.defaultOptionsByType object.

Meteor.startup(function () {
    //Give Error notifications a longer timeout
    Notifications.defaultOptionsByType[Notifications.TYPES.ERROR] = _.defaults({
        timeout: 10000
    },
    Notifications.defaultOptions);
});

Restyling the notifications

To restyle the notifications check the styleSheet and create your own stylesheet that overrides the classes defined in the bundled style. For instance, if you want to make the success notifications red you would add the following:

li.notification {
    &.success {
        background-color: #F00;
    }
}
