Notification

Display a toast notification in your app.

Usage

First of all, add the Notifications component to your app, preferably inside app.vue.

app.vue<template> <div> <UContainer> <NuxtPage /> </UContainer> <UNotifications /> </div></template>

This component will render the notifications at the bottom right of the screen by default. You can configure its behavior in the app.config.ts through ui.notifications:

app.config.tsexport default defineAppConfig({ ui: { notifications: { // Show toasts at the top right of the screen position: 'top-0 right-0' } }})

Then, you can use the useToast composable to add notifications to your app:

<script setup>const toast = useToast()</script><template> <UButton label="Show toast" @click="toast.add({ title: 'Hello world!' })" /></template>

When using toast.add, this will push a new notification to the stack displayed in <UNotifications />. All the props of the Notification component can be passed to toast.add.

<script setup>const toast = useToast()onMounted(() => { toast.add({ id: 'update_downloaded', title: 'Update downloaded.', description: 'It will be installed on restart. Restart now?', icon: 'i-octicon-desktop-download-24', timeout: 0, actions: [{ label: 'Restart', click: () => { } }] })})</script>

You can also use the Notification component directly in your app as an alert for example.

Title

Pass a title to your Notification.

Notification

{
  "message": "You should use slots with <ContentRenderer>",
  "value": null,
  "excerpt": false,
  "tag": "div"
}

Description

You can add a description in addition of the title.

Notification

This is a notification.

{
  "message": "You should use slots with <ContentRenderer>",
  "value": null,
  "excerpt": false,
  "tag": "div"
}

Icon

Use any icon from Iconify by setting the icon prop by using this pattern: i-{collection_name}-{icon_name} or change it globally in ui.notification.default.icon.

Notification

This is a notification.

{
  "message": "You should use slots with <ContentRenderer>",
  "value": null,
  "excerpt": false,
  "tag": "div"
}

Avatar

Use the avatar prop as an object and configure it with any of its props.

Notification

This is a notification.

{
  "message": "You should use slots with <ContentRenderer>",
  "value": null,
  "excerpt": false,
  "tag": "div"
}

Timeout

Use the timeout prop to configure how long the Notification will remain. Set it to 0 to disable the timeout.

You will see a progress bar at the bottom of the Notification which will indicate the remaining time. When hovering the Notification, the progress bar will be paused.

Notification

This is a notification.

{
  "message": "You should use slots with <ContentRenderer>",
  "value": null,
  "excerpt": false,
  "tag": "div"
}

Style

Use the color prop to change the progress and icon color of the Notification.

Notification

This is a notification.

{
  "message": "You should use slots with <ContentRenderer>",
  "value": null,
  "excerpt": false,
  "tag": "div"
}

Click

Use the click prop to execute a function when the Notification is clicked.

<script setup>const toast = useToast()function onClick () { alert('Clicked!')}</script><template> <UButton label="Show toast" @click="toast.add({ title: 'Click me', click: onClick })" /></template>

Callback

Use the callback prop to execute a function when the Notification expires.

<script setup>const toast = useToast()function onCallback () { alert('Notification expired!')}</script><template> <UButton label="Show toast" @click="toast.add({ title: 'Expires soon...', timeout: 1000, callback: onCallback })" /></template>

Close

Use the close-button prop to hide or customize the close button on the Notification.

You can pass all the props of the Button component to customize it through the close-button prop or globally through ui.notification.default.closeButton.

Notification

{
  "message": "You should use slots with <ContentRenderer>",
  "value": null,
  "excerpt": false,
  "tag": "div"
}

Actions

Use the actions prop to add actions to the Notification.

<script setup>const toast = useToast()</script><template> <UButton label="Show toast" @click="toast.add({ title: 'Click me', click: () => alert('Clicked!') })" /></template>

Like for closeButton, you can pass all the props of the Button component inside the action or globally through ui.notification.default.actionButton.

Notification

{
  "message": "You should use slots with <ContentRenderer>",
  "value": null,
  "excerpt": false,
  "tag": "div"
}

Actions will render differently whether you have a description set.

Notification

This is a notification.

{
  "message": "You should use slots with <ContentRenderer>",
  "value": null,
  "excerpt": false,
  "tag": "div"
}

Slots

title / description

Use the #title and #description slots to customize the Notification.

This can be handy when you want to display HTML content. To achieve this, you can define those slots in the top-level <UNotifications /> component in your app.vue and use the v-html directive.

app.vue<template> <UNotifications> <template #title="{ title }"> <span v-html="title" /> </template> <template #description="{ description }"> <span v-html="description" /> </template> </UNotifications></template>

This way, you can use HTML tags in the title and description props when using useToast.

<script setup>const toast = useToast()</script><template> <UButton label="Show toast" @click="toast.add({ title: 'Notification <i>italic</i>', description: 'This is an <u>underlined</u> and <b>bold</b> notification.' })" /></template>
Slots defined in the <UNotifications /> component are automatically passed down to the Notification children.
