How to install slee?

npm and yarn

npm install slee --save-dev
yarn add slee --dev

Then just require it in your project and you are good to go!

CDN

In case you prefer using CDN services over hosting libraries locally, there is a option to use it.

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/slee/dist/theme.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/slee/dist/slee.js"></script>
or both at once
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/slee/dist/bundle.js"></script>

Add files manually

If you don't use any package manager and build tools, you can still download dist/ files manually and include them in your HTML.

Usage / How to?

It's pretty simple. You don't have to be genius to use this library. Anyone can!

Slee supports 5 type of notifications: Neutral, Informative, Success, Warning and Danger (or something went wrong).

Initialization

The first step is to configure and prepare Slee globally:

Slee.configure({
    // ...options go here...
});
 
// and then
Slee.prepare();

Settings are saved and then used for every instance, if they are not overridden locally. Initial configuration is not required at all. You can configure each instance manually, but we strongly recommend global configuration as it could save a lot of lines of code.

Methods

Methods are used to create new Slee instances or configure and prepare library before usage.

configure(options)

Used to configure the library globally, so you don't have to pass the same settings to every instance. You can also use method prepare() instead.

Slee.configure({});

prepare(options)

Prepares library before the first use. It can be also use to configure library. If so, you don't have to use configure() method.

Slee.prepare({});

success(options)

Creates notification of the success type. Usually used after successful action.

Slee.success({});

info(options)

Creates notification of the informative type. Usually used to inform user about something useful.

Slee.info({});

warning(options)

Creates notification of the warning type. Usually used to get users attention.

Slee.warning({});

error(options)

Creates notification of the danger type. Usually used to inform user, that something went wrong.

Slee.error({});

neutral(options)

Creates notification of the neutral type.

Slee.neutral({});

create()

This method is a little bit special. It does not takes any parameters, but only uses those defined with configure() or prepare() methods.

Slee.create();

...aaaand that's all! No more methods.
