Syntax

this.$message.success(
`<h3 class="myClass">
    <i claaa="fa fa-icon"></i> 
    Some HTML ot text message
</h3> 
<p>Some more message text</p>`, { 
    ...some props
});

Props

Service props

These props can be set before the plugin is initialized.

import Vue from 'vue';
import messageService from 'vue-update-message';

const props = {
    position: 'fixed',
    width: '20vw',
    placement: 'top'
}

Vue.use(messageService, props);
...

Position option behave the same as CSS 'position' property.

Single mode will display only one message on screen and when you create new message the old one will hide.

Stack mode will display multiple messages on screen. All messages will be shown on screeen and they will dissapear according to their settings (duration, dissmisable, etc...)

You can easily override the message dafault color, but it is possible only before plugin inicialization i.e. you can not change the color dynamically when creating a message.

import Vue from 'vue';
import messageService from 'vue-update-message';

const props = {
    position: 'fixed',
    width: '20vw',
    placement: 'top',
    successText: '#2e8441',
    successBackground: '#e0dc68',
    successBorder: '#52cc6d'
}

Vue.use(messageService, props);
...
...
//in the Vue component after some operation you call the success message like this
methods: {
    doSomething() {
      ...
      this.$message.success("top left", {
        dismissible: true,
        isSticky: true,
        placement: "top-left"
      });
    }
...

Here is the result:

Message props

These props can be set when the message is created.

this.$message.info("some message", {
    dismissible: true,
    isSticky: true
});

placement option is used to set the position of the message on screen

By setting isSticky option to true, duration option is ignored and the message will not dissapear from screen. To hide the message set dismissible option to true and this will add a close.

If you add css selector to container element prop, the messages will be displayed in that HTML element.

Note: When you use container element to show your messages, placement option is not available!
