Mk-Magic-Alerts

npm version build status codecov

Display animated success-, info-, warning- and error-alerts in your Angular application.

The latest library version is compatible with Angular 18.

Breaking change: As of version 17.2.0, the import of MkMagicAlertsModule is no longer needed for standalone components.

Install

npm i mk-magic-alerts

@angular/animations package is a required dependency for this library

npm install @angular/animations

Setup

For apps based on Standalone Components

Make sure provideAnimations() is included in your main.ts:

import { provideAnimations } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';

bootstrapApplication(AppComponent, {
	providers: [
		importProvidersFrom(),
		provideRouter(APP_ROUTES),
		provideAnimations() // this is required!
	]
}).catch(err => console.error(err));

For apps based on ngModule

Make sure BrowserAnimationsModule is included in your @NgModule:

import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    AppRoutingModule,
    BrowserAnimationsModule // this is required!
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

Usage

  1. Inject AlertsService into your component to invoke different kind of alerts as shown below:
import { AlertsService } from 'mk-magic-alerts';

constructor(private alertsSvc: AlertsService){}

ngOnInit(): void {
  const displayDurationInMillis = 3000;		
  this.alertsSvc.showError('Show me for 3 sec', displayDurationInMillis);

  this.alertsSvc.showError('Show me till user clicks exit');

  this.alertsSvc.showInfo('Info Alert');
  this.alertsSvc.showSuccess('Success Alert');
  this.alertsSvc.showWarning('Warn Alert');
}
  1. To remove all active alerts, invoke the clear()-method:
this.alertsSvc.clear();

Mocking AlertsService for Unit Testing

To facilitate unit testing of components and services that depend on AlertsService, our library provides a MockAlertsService. This mock implementation offers empty methods corresponding to those of the actual AlertsService, allowing you to easily spy on them and control their behavior in your tests without having to worry about their real implementations.

Usage

  1. Import the Mock Service: First, ensure that the MockAlertsService is imported into your test file.

    import { MockAlertsService } from 'mk-magic-alerts';
  2. Configure TestBed: Use MockAlertsService to replace AlertsService in your TestBed configuration. This is done by providing it in the providers array of your test module setup.

    TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      // Other configuration...
      providers: [
        { provide: AlertsService, useClass: MockAlertsService }
      ]
    });

    Alternatively, if you prefer to directly instantiate and provide the mock without Angular's dependency injection, you can create an instance of the mock and use useValue:

    const mockAlertsService = new MockAlertsService();
    TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      // Other configuration...
      providers: [
        { provide: AlertsService, useValue: mockAlertsService }
      ]
    });
  3. Spying on Methods: In your tests, you can now spy on the MockAlertsService methods using Jest's spyOn method. This allows you to mock return values, verify that the methods were called, and inspect the arguments passed to them.

    it('should call showInfo method', () => {
      // Assuming you're inside a describe block for a component or service
      const alertsService = TestBed.inject(AlertsService);
      const showInfoSpy = jest.spyOn(alertsService, 'showInfo');
      // Trigger the action that results in showInfo being called
      expect(showInfoSpy).toHaveBeenCalledWith('Expected text', 10000);
    });
