> 💡 Plugin version 2.0.0+ is compatible with NativeScript 7+. If you need to target older NativeScript versions, please stick to plugin version 1.5.0.

_iOS and Android running the included demo - [much better framerate on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3jX5g9msm0)!_
## Demo apps
### NativeScript-Core (XML)
Check out the [demo](/demo) folder. This is how to clone and run it:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/nativescript-feedback
cd nativescript-feedback/src
npm run demo.ios # or demo.android
```
### NativeScript-Angular
This plugin is part of the [plugin showcase app](https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/nativescript-pluginshowcase/tree/master/app/feedback) I built using Angular.
### NativeScript-Vue
Check out the [demo-vue](/demo-vue) folder. This is how to clone and run it:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/nativescript-feedback
cd nativescript-feedback/src
npm run demo-vue.ios # or demo-vue.android
```
## Installation
```bash
tns plugin add nativescript-feedback
```
## API
### requiring / importing the plugin
#### JavaScript
```js
var FeedbackPlugin = require("nativescript-feedback");
var feedback = new FeedbackPlugin.Feedback();
```
#### TypeScript
```js
import { Feedback, FeedbackType, FeedbackPosition } from "nativescript-feedback";
export class MyClassWithFeedback {
private feedback: Feedback;
constructor() {
this.feedback = new Feedback();
}
}
```
### show
Showing feedback can be as easy as:
```js
this.feedback.show({
message: "Easiest thing ever, right?"
});
```
That uses a bunch of sane defaults.
However, there are a lot of things you may want to tweak. All of which are optional:
| Property | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `title` | `undefined` | The **bold** title at the top. |
| `titleColor` | `new Color("white")` | The title's color. |
| `titleFont` | Bold system font | iOS needs the font name and android the file name. See the demo for examples. |
| `titleSize` | `16` | The size of the title font. |
| `message` | `undefined` | The message below the title. |
| `messageColor` | `new Color("white")` | The message's color. |
| `messageFont` | System font | iOS needs the font name and android the file name. See the demo for examples. |
| `messageSize` | `13` | The size of the message font.|
| `duration` | `4000` | The duration to show the feedback (milliseconds). |
| `type` | [`FeedbackType.Custom`](https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/nativescript-feedback/blob/36bdf322837bf47fc2124b3e8f779227969d3f43/src/feedback.common.ts#L13) | One of `.Custom`, `.Success`, `.Warning`, `.Error`, `.Info`. Each with a distinct style as show in the animations above. You can still override all other properties according to your liking. |
| `position` | [`FeedbackPosition.Top`](https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/nativescript-feedback/blob/36bdf322837bf47fc2124b3e8f779227969d3f43/src/feedback.common.ts#L4) | Either `.Top` or `.Bottom`. |
| `backgroundColor` | Depends on the `type` | The background's color. |
| `icon` | Depends on the `type` | A custom icon shown on the left. Loaded from `App_Resources/` folders. [Example here](https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/nativescript-feedback/blob/master/demo/app/main-view-model.ts#L74). Want no icon at all? Don't set a `type`. |
| `android.iconColor` | See description | On iOS the icon color is as-is, but on Android it's white. Set this color to override the latter (also see the TypeScript example below). |
| `android.iconPulseEnabled` | `true` | On Android you can disable the pulsating effect of the icon. |
| `onTap`| `undefined` | A callback function that gets invoked when the user tapped your feedback. |
| `onShow`| `undefined` | A callback for when the feedback is shown. iOS note: is called twice: once when animating and once when done. |
| `onHide`| `undefined` | A callback for when the feedback is hidden. |
One of the examples in [the demo app](demo/index.html) shows a custom icon and alternative colors. You'd get there by doing:
#### JavaScript
```js
var FeedbackType = require ("nativescript-feedback").FeedbackType;
var FeedbackPosition = require ("nativescript-feedback").FeedbackPosition;
var color = require("color");
this.feedback.show({
title: "Thumbs up!",
titleColor: new color.Color("#222222"),
position: FeedbackPosition.Bottom, // iOS only
type: FeedbackType.Custom, // this is the default type, by the way
message: "Custom colors and icon. Loaded from the App_Resources folder.",
messageColor: new color.Color("#333333"),
duration: 3000,
backgroundColor: new color.Color("yellowgreen"),
icon: "customicon", // in App_Resources/platform folders
onTap: function() { console.log("showCustomIcon tapped") },
onShow: function(animating) { console.log(animating ? "showCustomIcon animating" : "showCustomIcon shown") },
onHide: function() { console.log("showCustomIcon hidden") }
});
```
#### TypeScript
```typescript
import { FeedbackType, FeedbackPosition } from "nativescript-feedback";
import { Color } from "tns-core-modules/color";
this.feedback.show({
title: "Thumbs up!",
titleColor: new Color("#222222"),
position: FeedbackPosition.Bottom,
type: FeedbackType.Custom, // this is the default type, by the way
message: "Custom colors and icon. Loaded from the App_Resources folder.",
messageColor: new Color("#333333"),
duration: 3000,
backgroundColor: new Color("yellowgreen"),
icon: "customicon", // in App_Resources/platform folders
android: {
iconColor: new Color("#222222") // optional, leave out if you don't need it
},
onTap: () => console.log("showCustomIcon tapped"),
onShow: animating => console.log(animating ? "showCustomIcon animating" : "showCustomIcon shown"),
onHide: () => console.log("showCustomIcon hidden")
});
```
### hide
Hiding a message can be done automatically (see `duration`), by a gesture (tap / swipe), or programmatically as shown here:
```js
this.feedback.hide();
```
### Convenience functions
Since in many cases you want to only show success / info / warning / error messages anyway, this plugin's got you covered. You can call any of these functions and still pass in any of the aforementioned properties to tweak it to your liking:
#### `success`
```js
this.feedback.success({
title: "Awesome",
message: "That was great!"
});
```
#### `info`
```js
this.feedback.info({
title: "Info <> Data",
message: "Info is relevant data, not just any data."
});
```
#### `warning`
```js
this.feedback.warning({
message: "Your battery is almost empty"
});
```
#### `error`
```js
this.feedback.error({
title: "KABOoooOOM!",
titleColor: new Color("black")
});
```
