Getting Started with the KendoReact Notification
This guide provides essential information about using the KendoReact Notification package component—you will learn how to install the Notification package, add a Notification component to your project, style the component, and activate your license.
After completing this guide, you will be able to reproduce the following example.
Setting Up Your React Project
Before you install the KendoReact Notification, make sure that you have a running React project. The easiest way to set up a React project is to use the Create React App approach that is described in the Get Started with KendoReact article.
Installing the Notification Package
All KendoReact packages are distributed through npm and offer a similar installation experience. To use the Notification component, start with the installation of the Notification npm package and its dependencies. Use Node.js v5.0.0 or later.
npm install --save @progress/kendo-react-notification @progress/kendo-licensing @progress/kendo-svg-icons
Importing the Component
After installing the package, import the Notification and NotificationGroup components in the React App.
In the src/App.js
file of your React project, import the Notification
and NotificationGroup
components from the Notification package.
// ES2015 module syntax
import { Notification, NotificationGroup } from '@progress/kendo-react-notification';
// CommonJS format
const { Notification, NotificationGroup } = require('@progress/kendo-react-notification');
Using the Component
-
Set a state variable that will determine if the Notification will be visible.
jsxconst [success, setSuccess] = React.useState(false);
-
Set a function that will show the Notification on a button click.
jsxconst onToggle = () => setSuccess(true);
-
Add animation to the component by importing the
Fade
animation.jsximport { Fade } from '@progress/kendo-react-animation';
-
Add the component's markup to the
src/App.js
file in your project. You will render the Notification component based on thesuccess
value. You wrap the entire Notification component inside theFade
component to animate it.jsx<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>
-
To style the Notification, install and import the Default theme, which is one of the three beautiful themes for KendoReact.
5.1. Install the Default theme package.
shnpm install --save @progress/kendo-theme-default
5.2. Import the CSS file from the package in
src/App.js
. Add this import before your existingApp.css
import.jsximport '@progress/kendo-theme-default/dist/all.css';
-
Build and run the application by typing the following command in the root folder of your project:
shnpm start
-
Navigate to http://localhost:3000 to see the KendoReact Notification component on the page.
Activating Your License Key
Using any of the UI components in the KendoReact library requires either a commercial license key or an active trial license key.
Follow the instructions on the KendoReact My License page to activate your trial or commercial license. You can skip this step if your application already contains a KendoReact license file.
Dependencies
The Notification package requires you to install the following peer dependencies in your application:
Package Name | Description |

react 16.8.2* | Contains the functionality necessary to define React components. |
react-dom | Contains the React renderer for the web. |
