Configuration object

Property	Type	Description	Default
name	String	It is a name of the component and alias for the EventBus global property.	'flashMessage'
tag	String	Custom tag for the component to use in your application.	'FlashMesage'
time	Number	Duration (in ms) of the message display (can be customized during message call).	8000
strategy	String	You can pass 'single' or 'multiple' to choose the default strategy. It can be changed in process.	'single'

Usage

Put the component into your template

<FlashMessage></FlashMessage>

You can pass a string as position property to set up default position of messages block. Valid values: 'right bottom', 'right top', 'left bottom', 'left top'.

<FlashMessage :position="'right bottom'"></FlashMessage>

Now you can access flash message by using global EventBus alias (that is "flashMessage" by default) of your Vue instance

this.flashMessage.show({
    status: 'error',
    title: 'Error Message Title',
    message: 'Oh, you broke my heart! Shame on you!'
});

Methods

Display Methods

---

Every display message method will return the id of the message instance

this.flashMessage.show({
    status: 'error',
    title: 'Error Message Title',
    message: 'Oh, you broke my heart! Shame on you!'
});

You also can use shorthands without status property.

this.flashMessage.error({
    title: 'Error Message Title',
    message: 'Oh, you broke my heart! Shame on you!'
});
this.flashMessage.warning({
    title: 'Warning Message Title',
    message: "Don't stop me nooooow....!"
});
this.flashMessage.info({
    title: 'Info Message Title',
    message: 'Just want you to know, that Vue is so cool'
});
this.flashMessage.success({
    title: 'Success Message Title',
    message: 'Hoorah, it is my fist npm package and it works!'
});

You can pass the data object to configure a message instance.
