# Syncfusion EJ2 JavaScript Notifications ## Overview The Syncfusion EJ2 JavaScript Notifications library provides three essential UI components for building interactive user feedback systems. Each component is fully documented with TypeScript/JavaScript examples, accessibility guidelines, and common usage patterns. All components support: - **Accessibility:** WCAG 2.2 Level AA, Section 508, ADA compliance - **Themes:** Material 3, Bootstrap 5, Fluent, Tailwind 3, Fabric - **APIs:** Imperative TypeScript/JavaScript with full event support - **Keyboard:** Full keyboard navigation and interaction --- ## Component Overview ### Quick Navigation | Component | Purpose | Package | Files | |-----------|---------|---------|-------| | **Message** | Contextual message with severity indicators | ej2-notifications | 7 | | **Skeleton** | Animated loading placeholder | ej2-notifications | 6 | | **Toast** | Brief auto-dismissing notification | ej2-notifications | 9 | **Package:** `@syncfusion/ej2-notifications` --- ## Message Component **Purpose:** Displays contextual messages with visual severity indicators (icons and colors) to communicate importance and context to end users. Supports five severity levels, three visual variants, close-icon dismissal, custom templates, and full accessibility compliance. **Package:** `@syncfusion/ej2-notifications` ### Quick Example ```typescript import { Message } from '@syncfusion/ej2-notifications'; let msg: Message = new Message({ content: 'Please read the comments carefully', severity: 'Info' }); msg.appendTo('#msg'); ``` ### Documentation - [message-getting-started.md](./references/message-getting-started.md) - Setup and installation - [message-severities.md](./references/message-severities.md) - Five severity levels (Normal, Success, Info, Warning, Error) - [message-variants.md](./references/message-variants.md) - Three display variants (Text, Outlined, Filled) - [message-icons-and-close.md](./references/message-icons-and-close.md) - Severity icons and close icon handling - [message-customization.md](./references/message-customization.md) - Templates, alignment, and CSS customization - [message-accessibility.md](./references/message-accessibility.md) - WCAG 2.2, ARIA, and keyboard navigation - [message-api.md](./references/message-api.md) - Complete API reference --- ## Skeleton Component **Purpose:** Renders animated placeholder shapes that mimic the layout of loading content. Reduces perceived load time and communicates progress to users with configurable shapes, shimmer animations, and full accessibility support. **Package:** `@syncfusion/ej2-notifications` ### Quick Example ```typescript import { Skeleton } from '@syncfusion/ej2-notifications'; let skeleton: Skeleton = new Skeleton({ shape: 'Circle', width: '48px' }); skeleton.appendTo('#skeleton'); ``` ### Documentation - [skeleton-getting-started.md](./references/skeleton-getting-started.md) - Setup and basic usage - [skeleton-shapes.md](./references/skeleton-shapes.md) - Shape types (Circle, Square, Rectangle, Text) - [skeleton-shimmer-effect.md](./references/skeleton-shimmer-effect.md) - Shimmer animations (Wave, Pulse, Fade) - [skeleton-styles.md](./references/skeleton-styles.md) - CSS customization and visibility - [skeleton-accessibility.md](./references/skeleton-accessibility.md) - WAI-ARIA attributes and reduced-motion support - [skeleton-api.md](./references/skeleton-api.md) - Complete API reference --- ## Toast Component **Purpose:** Displays brief, non-intrusive notifications that auto-dismiss after a configurable timeout. Supports rich content through templates, action buttons, animated entry/exit, precise positioning, and programmatic control via `ToastUtility`. **Package:** `@syncfusion/ej2-notifications` ### Quick Example ```typescript import { Toast } from '@syncfusion/ej2-notifications'; let toastObj: Toast = new Toast({ title: 'Success!', content: 'Your changes have been saved.', position: { X: 'Right', Y: 'Bottom' }, timeOut: 4000, showCloseButton: true }); toastObj.appendTo('#toast'); toastObj.show(); ``` ### Quick Utility Toast (No Component Needed) ```typescript import { ToastUtility } from '@syncfusion/ej2-notifications'; // Show a success toast instantly ToastUtility.show('File saved successfully', 'Success', 3000); // Show an error toast ToastUtility.show('Connection failed', 'Error', 5000); ``` ### Documentation - [toast-getting-started.md](./references/toast-getting-started.md) - Installation and basic setup - [toast-configuration.md](./references/toast-configuration.md) - Title, content, target, and layout options - [toast-position.md](./references/toast-position.md) - Nine predefined positions and custom coordinates - [toast-timeout-and-dismissal.md](./references/toast-timeout-and-dismissal.md) - Auto-dismiss timeout and manual dismissal - [toast-templates-and-styling.md](./references/toast-templates-and-styling.md) - Custom templates and semantic CSS classes - [toast-animation.md](./references/toast-animation.md) - Show and hide animation effects - [toast-services.md](./references/toast-services.md) - ToastUtility and advanced patterns - [toast-accessibility.md](./references/toast-accessibility.md) - WAI-ARIA, WCAG 2.2, and screen reader support - [toast-api.md](./references/toast-api.md) - Complete API reference --- ## Installation and Setup ### Install the Package ```bash npm install @syncfusion/ej2-notifications@33.x.x --save npm audit ``` ### Add CSS Theme Imports ```css /* src/styles.css */ @import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/tailwind3.css'; @import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-notifications/styles/tailwind3.css'; ``` Other available themes: `material.css`, `bootstrap5.css`, `fluent.css`, `fabric.css` --- ## Common Patterns ### Semantic Type Messages Use `severity` property with `Normal`, `Success`, `Info`, `Warning`, or `Error` for visual differentiation. ```typescript let msg: Message = new Message({ content: 'Operation completed', severity: 'Success', variant: 'Outlined' }); msg.appendTo('#msg'); ``` ### Dismissible Messages Set `showCloseIcon: true` and `showCloseButton: true` (for Toast) to let users manually dismiss notifications. ```typescript let toastObj: Toast = new Toast({ content: 'Your session will expire soon', showCloseButton: true, timeOut: 0 }); toastObj.appendTo('#toast'); toastObj.show(); ``` ### Loading States with Skeleton Display skeleton placeholders during content loading, then hide them when content is ready. ```typescript let skeleton: Skeleton = new Skeleton({ shape: 'Rectangle', width: '100%', height: '200px', shimmerEffect: 'Pulse' }); skeleton.appendTo('#skeleton'); ``` ### Static/Persistent Toasts Set `timeOut: 0` with `showCloseButton: true` for notifications users must explicitly dismiss. ```typescript let toastObj: Toast = new Toast({ content: 'Please review and confirm', timeOut: 0, showCloseButton: true }); toastObj.appendTo('#toast'); toastObj.show(); ``` ### Action-Required Toasts Use the `buttons` property to add Ignore/Confirm/Undo buttons. ```typescript let toastObj: Toast = new Toast({ content: 'Delete this file?', buttons: [{ model: { content: 'Yes' }, click: () => { /* handle yes */ } }, { model: { content: 'No' }, click: () => toastObj.hide() }] }); toastObj.appendTo('#toast'); toastObj.show(); ``` ### Multiple Toast Positions Display different toast instances at different screen positions. ```typescript let topToast: Toast = new Toast({ content: 'Top notification', position: { X: 'Center', Y: 'Top' } }); topToast.appendTo('#top-toast'); topToast.show(); ``` --- ## Theme Support All notification components support the following themes: | Theme | CSS File | |-------|----------| | Material 3 | `material.css` | | Bootstrap 5 | `bootstrap5.css` | | Fluent | `fluent.css` | | Tailwind 3 | `tailwind3.css` | | Fabric | `fabric.css` | Example import for different themes: ```css /* Material 3 */ @import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css';
