## How do I set it up?



We're glad you asked.



If your project is in Swift:



1. Add __LNRSimpleNotifications__ to your Podfile or Package.swift.

2. Add the AudioToolbox framework to your project. 

3. Add __import LNRSimpleNotifications__ in the classes you want to trigger or style your in-app notifications.

4. (Optional) Style your notifications in the class managing your notification's initializer.

5. There is no step Five.



If your project is in Objective-C:



1. Add __LNRSimpleNotifications__ to your Podfile.

2. Add the AudioToolbox framework to your project.

3. Set "Defines Modules" to __Yes__ in your build settings.

4. Import the LNRSimpleNotification module's Xcode-generated Swift header file in the classes you want to trigger and style your in-app notifications. The name of this header should be __#import \__.

5. (Optional) Style your notifications in the class managing your notification's initializer.



## Demo Project



To run the demo project clone the repo, and run `pod install` from the Example directory first.



## How do I use it?

Configure your notification styles once in your app. The init method for whatever class is triggering your in-app notifications is a good choice.



__The Class Triggering Notifications__



```swift

import LNRSimpleNotifications

import AudioToolbox



###



let notificationManager = LNRNotificationManager()



func init() {

	super.init()

        

	notificationManager.notificationsPosition = LNRNotificationPosition.Top

	notificationManager.notificationsBackgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor()

	notificationManager.notificationsTitleTextColor = UIColor.blackColor()

	notificationManager.notificationsBodyTextColor = UIColor.darkGrayColor()

	notificationManager.notificationsSeperatorColor = UIColor.grayColor()

        

	var alertSoundURL: NSURL? = NSBundle.mainBundle().URLForResource("click", withExtension: "wav")

	if let _ = alertSoundURL {

		var mySound: SystemSoundID = 0

		AudioServicesCreateSystemSoundID(alertSoundURL!, &mySound)

		notificationManager.notificationSound = mySound

	}

        

	return true

}

```



You can also configure an icon that will appear in your notification and set a custom font for the notification title and body.



If you don't set any theme options your notifications will default to black text on a white background with no notification sound or icon.



__The Class Triggering Notifications__



```swift

let notificationManager = LNRNotificationManager()



### 



func methodThatTriggersNotification:(title: String, body: String) {

	notificationManager.showNotification(notification: LNRNotification(title: title, body: body, duration: LNRNotificationDuration.default.rawValue, onTap: { () -> Void in

		print("Notification Dismissed")

	}, onTimeout: { () -> Void in

		print("Notification Timed Out")

	}))

}

```

## Known Bugs



### Since 0.1.0



1. If you trigger notifications very rapidly they'll start appearing immediately instead of waiting for the one before to be dismissed before displaying. If this happens notifications will start appearing over notifications that were already on screen.



## Pull Requests?

Absolutely!
