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.ts
export 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

<UNotification title="Notification" :id="1" :timeout="0" />

Description

You can add a description in addition of the title.

Notification

This is a notification.

<UNotification  description="This is a notification."  :id="2"  :timeout="0"  title="Notification"/>

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.

<UNotification  icon="i-heroicons-check-circle"  description="This is a notification."  :id="3"  :timeout="0"  title="Notification"/>

Avatar

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

Notification

This is a notification.

<UNotification  description="This is a notification."  :avatar="{ src: 'https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/739984?v=4' }"  :id="4"  :timeout="0"  title="Notification"/>

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.

<UNotification  :timeout="60000"  :id="5"  title="Notification"  description="This is a notification."/>

Style

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

Notification

This is a notification.

<UNotification  icon="i-heroicons-check-badge"  color="primary"  :id="6"  title="Notification"  description="This is a notification."  :timeout="600000"/>

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

<UNotification  :close-button="{ icon: 'i-heroicons-archive-box-x-mark', color: 'primary', variant: 'outline', padded: true, size: '2xs', ui: { rounded: 'rounded-full' } }"  :id="7"  title="Notification"  :timeout="0"/>

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

<UNotification  :actions="[{ label: 'Action 1' }, { variant: 'solid', color: 'gray', label: 'Action 2' }]"  :id="8"  title="Notification"  :timeout="0"/>

Actions will render differently whether you have a description set.

Notification

This is a notification.

<UNotification  :actions="[{ variant: 'solid', color: 'primary', label: 'Action 1' }, { variant: 'outline', color: 'primary', label: 'Action 2' }]"  :id="9"  title="Notification"  description="This is a notification."  :timeout="0"/>

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.
