The component to display single flash message or multiple flash messages to user. It has styles presets, but can be easily customized by passing style object as argument.

Installation and Configuration

Register the component in your app entry point (main.js or as you called it)

import Vue from 'vue';
import FlashMessage from '@smartweb/vue-flash-message';
Vue.use(FlashMessage);

You can pass configuration object as second argument

Vue.use(FlashMessage, config);

import Vue from 'vue';
import VueFlashMessage from '@smartweb/vue-flash-message';

Vue.use(VueFlashMessage);

In your nuxt.config.js file register your plugin

Configuration object


Property Type Description Default
name String It is a name of the component and alias for the EventBus global property. 'flashMessage'
tag String Custom tag for the component to use in your application. 'FlashMesage'
time Number Duration (in ms) of the message display (can be customized during message call). 8000
strategy String You can pass 'single' or 'multiple' to choose the default strategy. It can be changed in process. 'single'

Usage

Put the component into your template

<FlashMessage></FlashMessage>

You can pass a string as position property to set up default position of messages block. Valid values: 'right bottom', 'right top', 'left bottom', 'left top'.

<FlashMessage :position="'right bottom'"></FlashMessage>

Now you can access flash message by using global EventBus alias (that is "flashMessage" by default) of your Vue instance

this.flashMessage.show({
	status: 'error',
	title: 'Error Message Title',
	message: 'Oh, you broke my heart! Shame on you!'
});

Display Methods


Every display message method will return the id of the message instance

this.flashMessage.show({
	status: 'error',
	title: 'Error Message Title',
	message: 'Oh, you broke my heart! Shame on you!'
});

You also can use shorthands without status property.

this.flashMessage.error({
	title: 'Error Message Title',
	message: 'Oh, you broke my heart! Shame on you!'
});
this.flashMessage.warning({
	title: 'Warning Message Title',
	message: "Don't stop me nooooow....!"
});
this.flashMessage.info({
	title: 'Info Message Title',
	message: 'Just want you to know, that Vue is so cool'
});
this.flashMessage.success({
