Material Design "Snackbar" component for Android and iOS.

Supports custom colors, fonts, and languages.

![Snackbar screenshot](example/screenshots/snackbar.png)

Snackbars are used for displaying a brief message to the user, along with an optional action.

They animate up from the bottom of the screen and then disappear shortly afterward.

See Google's [Material Design guidelines](https://material.io/guidelines/components/snackbars-toasts.html) for more info on Snackbars

and when to use them.

## How it works

```js

Snackbar.show({

  text: 'Hello world',

  duration: Snackbar.LENGTH_SHORT,

});

```

Or, to include an action button:

```js

Snackbar.show({

  text: 'Hello world',

  duration: Snackbar.LENGTH_INDEFINITE,

  action: {

    text: 'UNDO',

    textColor: 'green',

    onPress: () => { /* Do something. */ },

  },

});

```

## Installation

1. Install:

    - Using [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/#getting-started): `npm install react-native-snackbar --save`

    - Using [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/): `yarn add react-native-snackbar`

2. [Link](https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/linking-libraries-ios.html):

    - RN >= 0.60 supports [autolinking](https://github.com/react-native-community/cli/blob/master/docs/autolinking.md): first `cd ios && pod install && cd ..`

    - RN < 0.60: `react-native link react-native-snackbar`

    - Or if that fails, link manually using [these steps](https://github.com/cooperka/react-native-snackbar/wiki/Manual-Installation)

    - Note that because this is a native module, Expo does not support it -- to use with Expo you need to [eject to ExpoKit](https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/expokit/eject/)

3. Import it in your JS:

    ```js

    import Snackbar from 'react-native-snackbar';

    ```

## Usage

### Snackbar.show(options)

Shows a Snackbar, dismissing any existing Snackbar first. Accepts an object with the following options:

| Key | Data type | Default value? | Description |

|-----|-----------|----------------|-------------|

| `text` | `string` | Required. | The message to show. |

| `duration` | See below | `Snackbar.LENGTH_SHORT` | How long to display the Snackbar. |

| `numberOfLines` | `number` | `2` | The max number of text lines to allow before ellipsizing. |

| `marginBottom` | `number` | `0` | Margin from bottom. |

| `textColor` | `string` or `style` | `'white'` | The color of the message text. |

| `backgroundColor` | `string` or `style` | `undefined` (dark gray) | The background color for the whole Snackbar. |

| `fontFamily` | `string` | `undefined` | [Android only] The basename of a `.ttf` font from `assets/fonts/` (see [setup guide](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/25852) and [example app](/example), remember to `react-native link` after). |

| `rtl` | `boolean` | `false` | [Android only, API 17+] Whether the Snackbar should render right-to-left (requires `android:supportsRtl="true"`, see [setup guide](https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2013/03/native-rtl-support-in-android-42.html) and [example app](/example)). |

| `action` | `object` (described below) | `undefined` (no button) | Optional config for the action button (described below). |

Where `duration` can be one of the following (timing may vary based on device):

- `Snackbar.LENGTH_SHORT` (just over a second)

- `Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG` (about three seconds)

- `Snackbar.LENGTH_INDEFINITE` (stays on screen until dismissed, replaced, or action button is tapped)

The optional `action` object can contain the following options:

| Key | Data type | Default value? | Description |

|-----|-----------|----------------|-------------|

| `text` | `string` | Required. | The button text. |

| `textColor` | `string` or `style` | `'white'` | The color of the button text. |

| `onPress` | `function` | `undefined` (Snackbar is simply dismissed) | A callback for when the user taps the button. |

Deprecation note: The old keys `title` and `color` have been replaced by `text` and `textColor` for consistency.

The old keys will continue to work for now but are deprecated and may be removed at any time.

### Snackbar.dismiss()

Dismisses any existing Snackbars.

## Advanced usage

### Snackbar events

You can have information on snackbar visibility.

```js

  componentDidMount() {

    const SnackbarEventEmitter = new NativeEventEmitter(

      NativeModules.RNSnackbar,

    );

    this.eventListener = SnackbarEventEmitter.addListener('onSnackbarVisibility', (event) => {

      console.log(event.event);

    });

  }

  componentWillUnmount() {

    this.eventListener.remove();

  }

```

Or, with functional components:

```js

  useEffect(() => {

    const subscription = new NativeEventEmitter(

      NativeModules.RNSnackbar,

    ).addListener('onSnackbarVisibility', event => {

      console.log(event.event);

    });

    return () => {

      subscription.remove();

    };

  }, []);

```

Where event is one of the following options :

| Key | Data type | Value | Description |

|-----|-----------|----------------|-------------|

| `Snackbar.DISMISS_EVENT_SWIPE` | `number` | 0 | Indicates that the Snackbar was dismissed via a swipe. |

| `Snackbar.DISMISS_EVENT_ACTION` | `number` | 1 | Indicates that the Snackbar was dismissed via an action click. |

| `Snackbar.DISMISS_EVENT_TIMEOUT` | `number` | 2 | Indicates that the Snackbar was dismissed via a timeout. |

| `Snackbar.DISMISS_EVENT_MANUAL` | `number` | 3 | Indicates that the Snackbar was dismissed via Snackbar.dismiss() call. |

| `Snackbar.DISMISS_EVENT_CONSECUTIVE` | `number` | 4 | Indicates that the Snackbar was dismissed from a new Snackbar being shown. |

| `Snackbar.SHOW_EVENT` | `number` | 5 | Indicates that Snackbar appears |

## Mocking via jest

This package uses NativeModules, which `jest` does not have access to.

You can use the provided mocks in your `jest.setup.js`:

```js

import mockSnackbar from 'react-native-snackbar/jest/snackbar-mock.js'

jest.mock('react-native-snackbar', () => mockSnackbar);

```

## Troubleshooting

#### Snackbar not appearing [Android]

The Snackbar is designed to attach to whatever view is on top of your screen when `show` is called. If that view happens to be a temporary alert modal or some other view that goes away, you'll never see the Snackbar.

A workaround in some cases is to use `setTimeout` to show the Snackbar a few seconds later after the modal is gone. See [issue #28](https://github.com/cooperka/react-native-snackbar/issues/28) for further discussion. If you want to submit a PR to improve the view-finding logic, feel free.

#### Undefined import

If you see errors similar to `Cannot read property 'LENGTH_LONG' of undefined` or `Undefined not an object (NativeModules.RNSnackbar)`, please refer to [issue #43](https://github.com/cooperka/react-native-snackbar/issues/43) for help.

#### Compiling [Android]

- `compileSdkVersion 28` (or higher)

- `buildToolsVersion "28.0.3"` (or higher)

#### Compiling [iOS]
