A bare-bones notification tool.

new notice('Howdy, Folks!');

notice.js supports AMD (RequireJS) if that is your style.

define(['notice'], function(){
	new notice('I love RequireJS');
});

Or if you want to just throw it right into the DOM like a savage, you are welcome to do that too.

<script src="notice.js"></script>
<script>
	new notice('Guten Tag!');
</script>

To create a notice simply write:

var mynotice = new notice('My cool notice');

To set more options, pass an object into the second parameter:

var mynotice = new notice('My even cooler notice', {
	animate: false,
	safe: false,
	type: 'alert',
	timeout: 5000,
	onclick: function(){},
	ontimeout: null
});

• animate Boolean Indicates whether the notice should fade out or just disappear immediately. Will default to true if jQuery is present or false if jQuery is not present.
• safe Boolean Indicates if notice.js should escape any HTML being put into a notice. Useful if you want to prevent XSS attacks.
• type String The type of alert that the notice will be. Accepted types are alert, success, error, warn, and info.
• timeout Number The number of milliseconds to wait before automatically removing the notice. Set to false to keep up forever.
• onclick Function A function that will be run when the notice is clicked. When a notice is clicked it will automatically hide it, if this function returns false, the notice will not be removed.
• onclick Function A function that will be run when the notice automatically hides itself.

Each instance gets its own methods, so don't go running these on the global notice object.

Update the text on an existing notice

• text String The new text. The input will obey the original safe setting.

If a notice is set to dissapear automatically, this method will keep it from doing that.

Removes the notice from the DOM

notice.js is made to be easy to style. That being said, this is some recommended CSS to start with:

ul#notice-base {
	z-index: -2147483647;
	position: fixed;
	top: 0;
	width: 100%;
	padding: 20px;
	list-style: none;
}
ul#notice-base li.notice-item {
	line-height: 1em;
	cursor: pointer;
	display: table;
	margin-bottom: 10px;
	min-width: 220px;
	max-width: 320px;
	padding: 10px;
	border-radius: 3px;
	color: white;
	border-left-width: 5px;
	border-left-style: solid;
}
ul#notice-base li.notice-item h1,
ul#notice-base li.notice-item h2,
ul#notice-base li.notice-item h3,
ul#notice-base li.notice-item h4,
ul#notice-base li.notice-item h5,
ul#notice-base li.notice-item h6 {
	color: white;
	margin: 0px;
	margin-bottom: 3px;
}
ul#notice-base li.notice-item p:last-child,
ul#notice-base li.notice-item p:only-child {
	margin-bottom: 0px;
}
ul#notice-base li.notice-item.alert {
	border-left-color: #7f8c8d;
	background-color: #95a5a6;
}
ul#notice-base li.notice-item.success {
	background-color: #2ecc71;
	border-left-color: #27ae60;
}
ul#notice-base li.notice-item.error {
	border-left-color: #c0392b;
	background-color: #e74c3c;
}
ul#notice-base li.notice-item.warn {
	background-color: #f1c40f;
	border-left-color: #f39c12;
}
ul#notice-base li.notice-item.info {
	background-color: #3498db;
	border-left-color: #2980b9;
}
