Getting Started with the KendoReact Notification

This guide provides essential information about using the KendoReact Notification package—you will learn how to install the package, add Notifications to your project, style the components, and activate your license.

After completing this guide, you will have a free React Notification up and running.

Before You Begin

npm create vite@latest my-app -- --template react

This guide requires that you have basic knowledge of React and TypeScript, and that you have already created a blank React project.

You can speed up the development of your KendoReact application with the Kendo UI Template Wizard for Visual Studio Code.

Install the Component

npm i @progress/kendo-react-notification

Run these commands in the root of your React project to install the KendoReact Notification package and its dependencies, and the Kendo UI Default theme.

Import the Component

After installing the Notification npm package, import the Notification and NotificationGroup components in the React App.

Place the import statements in the App component file (for example: src/App.tsx) for your project.

// ES2015 module syntax
import { Notification, NotificationGroup } from '@progress/kendo-react-notification';

// CommonJS format
const { Notification, NotificationGroup } = require('@progress/kendo-react-notification');

Using the Component

1. Set a state variable that will determine if the Notification will be visible.

   tsx

   const [success, setSuccess] = React.useState(false);

2. Set a function that will show the Notification on a button click.

   tsx

   const onToggle = () => setSuccess(true);

3. Add animation to the component by importing the Fade animation.

   tsx

   import { Fade } from '@progress/kendo-react-animation';

4. Add the component's markup to the src/App.js file in your project. You will render the Notification component based on the success value. You wrap the entire Notification component inside the Fade component to animate it.

   tsx

   <NotificationGroup
       style={{
           right: 0,
           bottom: 0,
           alignItems: 'flex-start',
           flexWrap: 'wrap-reverse'
       }}
   >
       <Fade>
           {success && (
               <Notification type={{ style: 'success', icon: true }} closable={true} onClose={() => setSuccess(false)}>
                   <span>Your data has been saved.</span>
               </Notification>
           )}
       </Fade>
   </NotificationGroup>

5. Navigate to http://localhost:3000 to see the KendoReact Notification component on the page.

Style the Component

Are you looking for guidance around how to create visually appealing and consistent user interfaces with Telerik UI components? Check out the Progress Design System.

To use the built-in styling of the components, start by installing a theme:

npm i @progress/kendo-theme-default

With the import "@progress/kendo-theme-default/dist/all.css"; statement present in your code, you already have professionally designed styling applied to your app out-of-box. You can also try any of the other available Kendo UI Themes.
