# WP Admin Notices

An helper library to create persistent and dismissible WordPress admin notices.

Notices created using this method are automatically dismissible.

## Usage

```php
$my_notices = new \Pressmodo\AdminNotices\Notices();

// Add a notice.
$my_notices->add( (string) $id, (string) $title, (string) $content, (array) $options );

// Boot things up.
$my_notices->boot();
```

After you instantiate the `Notices` object using `$my_notices = new \Pressmodo\AdminNotices\Notices();` you can add new notices using the `add()` method.

The arguments of this method are:

| Parameter | Type | | Description
|---|---|---|---|
| `$id`| `string` | Required | A unique ID for this notice. **The ID can contain lowercase latin letters and underscores**. It is used to construct the option (or user-meta) key that will be strored in the database. |
| `$title` | `string` | Required | The title for your notice. If you don't want to use a title you can use set it to `false`. |
| `$message` | `string` | Required | The content for the notice you want to create. Please note that the only acceptable tags here are `

`, ``, ``, ``.|
| `$options` | `array` | Optional | Extra arguments for this notice. Can be used to alter the notice's default behavior. |

The `$options` argument is an array that can have the following optional items:

| Key | Type | Value | Default
|---|---|---|---|
| `scope` | `string` | Can be `global` or `user`. Determines if the dismissed status will be saved as an option or user-meta. | `global` |
| `type` | `string` | Can be one of `info`, `success`, `warning`, `error`. | `info`
| `alt_style` | `bool` | Set to true if you want to use alternative styles. These have a background-color depending on the `type` argument - in contrast to the normal styles that use a white background. | `false` |
| `dismissible` | `bool` | Set to false to make the notice non dismissible. | `true` |
| `capability` | `string` | The user capability required to see the notice. For a list of all available capabilities please refer to the [Roles and Capabilities](https://wordpress.org/support/article/roles-and-capabilities/) article. | `edit_theme_options`
| `screens` | `array` | An array of screens where the notice will be displayed. For a reference of all available screen-IDs, refer to [this article](https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Admin_Screen_Reference). | `[]` |
| `option_prefix` | `string` | The prefix that will be used to build the option (or user-meta) name. Can contain lowercase latin letters and underscores. The actual option is built by combining the `option_prefix` argument with the defined ID from the 1st argument of the `add()` method. | `pressmodo_notice_dismissed` |

## Examples
You can add the following code within your theme's existing code.

First we need to instantiate the `Notices` object:
```php
use Pressmodo\AdminNotices\Notices;

$my_notices = new Notices();
```
To add a simple, default notice:
```php
$my_notices->add(
'my_theme_notice', // Unique ID.
esc_html__( 'Notice Title', 'textdomain' ), // The title for this notice.
esc_html__( 'Notice content', 'textdomain' ) // The content for this notice.
);
```
The above example will create a new notice that will only show on all dashboard pages. When the notice gets dismissed, a new option will be saved in the database with the key `pressmodo_notice_dismissed_my_theme_notice`. The key gets created by appending the `$id` to the default prefix for the option (`pressmodo_notice_dismissed`), separated by an underscore.

To add a more customized notice:

```php
$my_notices->add(
'my_notice', // Unique ID.
esc_html__( 'Notice Title', 'textdomain' ), // The title for this notice.
esc_html__( 'Notice content', 'textdomain' ), // The content for this notice.
[
'scope' => 'user', // Dismiss is per-user instead of global.
'screens' => [ 'themes' ], // Only show notice in the "themes" screen.
'type' => 'warning', // Make this a warning (orange color).
'alt_style' => true, // Use alt styles.
'option_prefix' => 'my_theme', // Change the user-meta prefix.
]
);
```

The above example will create a new notice that will only show in the "Themes" screen in the dashboard. When the notice gets dismissed, a new user-meta will be saved and the key for the stored user-meta will be `my_theme_my_notice`. The key gets created by appending the `$id` to our defined `option_prefix`, separated by an underscore.

The `Notices` class can be used to add multiple notices.
Once you have finished adding the notices, you will have to run the `boot` method so that the notices can be added to the dashboard:
```php
$my_notices->boot();
```

To sum up all the above, a complete example of how to add an admin notice would look like this:

```php
$my_notices = new \Pressmodo\AdminNotices\Notices();
$my_notices->add( 'my_theme_notice', __( 'Title', 'textdomain' ), __( 'Content', 'textdomain' ) );
$my_notices->boot();
```

## Autoloading

You'll need to use an autoloader with this. Ideally, this would be [Composer](https://getcomposer.org).

### Composer

From the command line:

```sh
composer require pressmodo/wp-admin-notices
```
