[![npm version](https://badge.fury.io/js/pnotify.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/pnotify)

PNotify is a JavaScript notification plugin, developed by SciActive. PNotify can also provide [desktop notifications](http://sciactive.com/pnotify/#web-notifications) based on the [Web Notifications spec](http://www.w3.org/TR/notifications/). If desktop notifications are not available or not allowed, PNotify will fall back to displaying the notice as a regular, in-browser notice.

Demos

* https://sciactive.github.io/pnotify/ for what's on master (gh-pages to be precise)

Requirements
============

jQuery (1.6 or higher)

Getting Started
===============

You can include PNotify using NPM, Bower, or a custom download. NPM is the prefered method.

    npm install pnotify

The PNotify custom download comes with the following files:

* `pnotify.custom.js` & `pnotify.custom.min.js` (Minified)
* `pnotify.custom.css` & `pnotify.custom.min.css` (Minified)

So here's how you'd include them on your page:

```html
<script type="text/javascript" src="pnotify.custom.min.js"></script>
<link href="pnotify.custom.min.css" media="all" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
```

Now you can use PNotify like this:

```html
<script type="text/javascript">
  $(function(){
    new PNotify({
      title: 'Regular Notice',
      text: 'Check me out! I\'m a notice.'
    });
  });
</script>
```

If you are not using any UI library, you can use the included styling, called Bright Theme. It is the default.

If you are using Bootstrap version 3, include this line somewhere before your first notice:

```js
PNotify.prototype.options.styling = "bootstrap3";
```

If you are using Bootstrap 3 with Font Awesome, include this line somewhere before your first notice:

```js
PNotify.prototype.options.styling = "fontawesome";
```

Stacks
======

A stack is an object which PNotify uses to determine where to position notices. A stack has two mandatory properties, `dir1` and `dir2`. `dir1` is the first direction in which the notices are stacked. When the notices run out of room in the window, they will move over in the direction specified by `dir2`. The directions can be `"up"`, `"down"`, `"right"`, or `"left"`. Stacks are independent of each other, so a stack doesn't know and doesn't care if it overlaps (and blocks) another stack. The default stack, which can be changed like any other default, goes down, then left. Stack objects are used and manipulated by PNotify, and therefore, should be a variable when passed. So, calling something like `new PNotify({stack: {"dir1": "down", "dir2": "left"}});` will **NOT** work. It will create a notice, but that notice will be in its own stack and may overlap other notices.

Modal Stacks
------------

You can set a stack as modal by setting the "modal" property to true. A modal stack creates an overlay behind it when any of its notices are open. When the last notice within it is removed, the overlay is hidden. If the "overlay_close" property is set to true, then clicking the overlay will cause all of the notices in that stack to be removed.

Example Stacks
--------------

```js
var stack_topleft = {"dir1": "down", "dir2": "right", "push": "top"};
var stack_bottomleft = {"dir1": "right", "dir2": "up", "push": "top"};
var stack_modal = {"dir1": "down", "dir2": "right", "push": "top", "modal": true, "overlay_close": true};
var stack_bar_top = {"dir1": "down", "dir2": "right", "push": "top", "spacing1": 0, "spacing2": 0};
var stack_bar_bottom = {"dir1": "up", "dir2": "right", "spacing1": 0, "spacing2": 0};
var stack_context = {"dir1": "down", "dir2": "left", "context": $("#stack-context")};
```

This stack is initially positioned through code instead of CSS.

```js
var stack_bottomright = {"dir1": "up", "dir2": "left", "firstpos1": 25, "firstpos2": 25};
```

This is done through two extra variables. `firstpos1` and `firstpos2` are pixel values, relative to a viewport edge. `dir1` and `dir2`, respectively, determine which edge. It is calculated as follows:

* `dir = "up"` - firstpos is relative to the bottom of viewport.
* `dir = "down"` - firstpos is relative to the top of viewport.
* `dir = "right"` - firstpos is relative to the left of viewport.
* `dir = "left"` - firstpos is relative to the right of viewport.

To create a stack in the top left, define the stack:

```js
var stack_topleft = {"dir1": "down", "dir2": "right"};
```

and then add two options to your pnotify call:

```
addclass: "stack-topleft", // This is one of the included default classes.
stack: stack_topleft
```

There are several CSS classes included which will position your notices for you:

* `stack-topleft`
* `stack-bottomleft`
* `stack-bottomright`
* `stack-modal`

You can create your own custom position and movement by defining a custom stack.

If you just want to position a single notice programmatically, and don't want to add any other notices into the stack, you can use this method, where `myXPos` and `myYPos` are pixel values relative to the top left corner of the viewport.

```js
new PNotify({
  text: "Notice that's positioned programmatically in its own stack.",
  stack: {"dir1": "down", "dir2": "right", "firstpos1": myYPos, "firstpos2": myXPos}
});
```

* `in_class: ""` - The class to use to animate the notice in.
* `out_class: ""` - The class to use to animate the notice out.

`}`

The Animate module also creates a method, `attention`, on notices which accepts an attention grabber class from Animate.css and callback to be called on completion of the animation.

Confirm Module
--------------

`confirm: {`
* `confirm: false` - Make a confirmation box.
* `prompt: false` - Make a prompt.
* `prompt_class: ""` - Classes to add to the input element of the prompt.

* `labels: {redisplay: "Redisplay", all: "All", last: "Last"}` - Lets you change the displayed text, facilitating internationalization.

`}`

Callbacks Module
================

The callback options all expect one argument, a function, which will be called when that event occurs. Unlike other modules, they are included in the options object passed to PNotify() just like the core options. If the function returns false on the "before_open" or "before_close" callback, that event will be canceled.

* `before_init` - This option is called before the notice has been initialized. It accepts one argument, the options object.
* `after_init` - This option is called after the notice has been initialized. It accepts one argument, the notice object.
* `before_open` - This option is called before the notice has been displayed. It accepts one argument, the notice object.
* `after_open` - This option is called after the notice has been displayed. It accepts one argument, the notice object.
* `before_close` - This option is called before the notice closes. It accepts one argument, the notice object.
* `after_close` - This option is called after the notice closes. It accepts one argument, the notice object.

Utility Functions
=================

* `PNotify.reload(root)` - Reinitialize PNotify. PNotify, in a browser, is initialized with window as the root. Returns the created PNotify object.
* `PNotify.removeAll()` - Remove all notices.
* `PNotify.removeStack(stack)` - Remove all the notices in a stack.
* `PNotify.positionAll(animate)` - Reposition the notices, optionally animating their movement.
* `notice.open()` - Open the notice.
* `notice.remove()` - Remove the notice.
* `notice.get()` - Get the notice's DOM element.

Using PNotify with RequireJS
============================

When they detect AMD/RequireJS, PNotify core defines the named module "pnotify" and PNotify's modules each define names like "pnotify.name". The following example shows the use of the nonblock and desktop modules with RequireJS.

```js
requirejs(['pnotify', 'pnotify.nonblock', 'pnotify.desktop'], function(PNotify){
  PNotify.desktop.permission();
  new PNotify({
    title: 'Desktop Notice',
    text: 'If you\'ve given me permission, I\'ll appear as a desktop notification. If you haven\'t, I\'ll still appear as a regular PNotify notice.',
    desktop: {
      desktop: true
    },
    nonblock: {
      nonblock: true
    }
  });
});
```
