# 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');
```

## 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');
```

- [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);
```

## 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();
```
