+ h-bar Announcement banner +
+ + +The announcement bar uses native methods to make the library lightweight so that it can be loaded quickly, bar the webpack stuff. + +**Note** +The initial version makes use of the WordPress API to be able to get the latest post. + +i.e. it expects a json structure like so: +From a url like `http://blog.example.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?per_page=1&_fields=id,title,link` +```json +[ + { + "id": 175, + "link": "https:\/\/blog.example.com\/how-to-hunt-a-vole\/", + "title": { + "rendered": "How To Hunt A Vole" + } + } +] +``` + +I plan to add more options and a parser callback that can be defined to extract a standard format. + +## Installation + +You can install the package via npm: + +```bash +npm i @reecem/h-bar +``` + +Or use jsDelivr: +```html + ... + + ... +``` + +> If you are customising the styling and overriding it with your own styling then you will also need an instance of your css or a tailwindcss file installed as only the classes needed are packaged with h-bar + +## Example page + +You can view an [example page](https://reecem.github.io/h-bar/example.html) + +## Usage + +You can import it directly into your javascript app or use it in the html. + +```html + + + + +``` + +The initialization object currently has this structure and defaults: + +```javascript +{ + url: "https://your.blog/api/....", + onCompleted: "callback function", + link: "The link url, can be force and no need to fetch from API", + title: "The link url, can be force and no need to fetch from API", + secondaryLinks: [ + { + title: "Docs", + link: "http:://docs.example.com" + } + ], + parser: (data) => {/** Parser function */} + dismissible: false, // dismissible banner flag + dismissFor: new Date('2020-03-30'), // would dismiss it till end of March 30th 2020 + theme: "gray", + headers: { + "Authorization": "Bearer {TOKEN}" + }, + customStyles: { + wrapper: "hb-flex hb-w-full hd-flex-col md:hb-flex-row sm:hb-flex-row hb-text-sm hb-py-2 md:hb-px-20 hb-px-1 hb-items-center hb-justify-between", + linkWrapper: "hb-flex hb-items-center", + badge: "hb-px-2 hb-mx-2 hb-leading-relaxed hb-tracking-wider hb-uppercase hb-font-semibold hb-rounded-full hb-text-xs", + postTitle: "hover:hb-underline", + secondaryLink: "hb-mx-5 hb-cursor-pointer hover:hb-underline", + } +} +``` + +### Parser function + +There is the availability of adding a custom parser function to override any of the default ones provided by the package. + +This is handy if you have a custom endpoint that say would return also the secondary links or has a different data structure. + +The parser function should always return an object with the structure: +```javascript +{ + title: String, + link: String, + /** the secondaryLinks is optional. + * It will also override the links parsed in the init() arguments. + */ + secondaryLinks: [ + { + title: String, + link: String, + }, + ] +} +``` + +You can define the function inside the `init()` method as follows: +```javascript + +hBar.init({ + url: "https://api.github.com/repos/ReeceM/h-bar/releases", + parser: (data) => { + // getting the first release on the list of releases from github. + const {name, html_url} = data[0]; + + return { + title: `Lateset version available ${name}`, + link: html_url + }; + } +}) +``` + +### Dismissing Notifications + +> Available from `v0.3.0`/`v1.0.0` + +**Temporary Dismissing** +To be able to dismiss a notification, please note it currently removes secondary links. It is therefore useful that you use this feature when just making announcements of a event or brief notification. + +The way to activate session based dismissal is: + +```javascript +{ + //... rest of config + dismissible: true, + //... rest of config +} +``` + +This will just disable the banner for the current page visit, if the user reloads, its back. + +**Time based dismissing** + +To dismiss the banner until another time, you can set the `dismissFor` variable, this requires a `Date()` object. + +When you set this and the banner is dismissed, the UTC milliseconds are stored in the localStorage, this is then read back when loading h-Bar. + +```javascript +{ + //... rest of config + dismissible: true, + dismissFor: new Date('2020-03-30'), // would dismiss it till end of march 30th +} +``` + +If you fail to set the value properly, it won't dismiss and the banner will show by default. + + +## Testing + +_to come_ please make a PR if you know how to do it on JS. + +## Changelog + +Please see [CHANGELOG](https://github.com/ReeceM/h-bar/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md) for more information on what has changed recently. + +## Contributing + +Please see [CONTRIBUTING](https://github.com/ReeceM/h-bar/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) for details. + +## Security + +[SECURITY](https://github.com/ReeceM/h-bar/security/policy) + +If you discover any security related issues, please email zsh.rce@gmail.com instead of using the issue tracker. + +## Credits + +- [ReeceM](https://github.com/ReeceM) +- [All Contributors](../../contributors) + +## Support + +
