In this tutorial, we’ll delve into implementing Notifications in React using Ant Design. We’ll explore how to utilize Ant Design 5 Notifications with TypeScript, showcasing examples of notifications positioned at the left, right, top, and bottom.

1. Utilize React with Ant Design 5 and TypeScript to showcase Notifications positioned at the left, right, top, and bottom.

import React, { useMemo } from 'react';
import {
  RadiusBottomleftOutlined,
  RadiusBottomrightOutlined,
  RadiusUpleftOutlined,
  RadiusUprightOutlined,
} from '@ant-design/icons';
import { Button, Divider, notification, Space } from 'antd';
import type { NotificationArgsProps } from 'antd';

type NotificationPlacement = NotificationArgsProps['placement'];

const Context = React.createContext({ name: 'Default' });

const App: React.FC = () => {
  const [api, contextHolder] = notification.useNotification();

  const openNotification = (placement: NotificationPlacement) => {
    api.info({
      message: `Notification ${placement}`,
      description: <Context.Consumer>{({ name }) => `Hello, ${name}!`}</Context.Consumer>,
      placement,
    });
  };

  const contextValue = useMemo(() => ({ name: 'Ant Design' }), []);

  return (
    <Context.Provider value={contextValue}>
      {contextHolder}
      <Space>
        <Button
          type="primary"
          onClick={() => openNotification('topLeft')}
          icon={<RadiusUpleftOutlined />}
        >
          topLeft
        </Button>
        <Button
          type="primary"
          onClick={() => openNotification('topRight')}
          icon={<RadiusUprightOutlined />}
        >
          topRight
        </Button>
      </Space>
      <Divider />
      <Space>
        <Button
          type="primary"
          onClick={() => openNotification('bottomLeft')}
          icon={<RadiusBottomleftOutlined />}
        >
          bottomLeft
        </Button>
        <Button
          type="primary"
          onClick={() => openNotification('bottomRight')}
          icon={<RadiusBottomrightOutlined />}
        >
          bottomRight
        </Button>
      </Space>
    </Context.Provider>
  );
};

export default App;

2. React with Ant Design Open the notification box with Custom close button.

import React from 'react';
import { Button, notification, Space } from 'antd';

const close = () => {
  console.log(
    'Notification was closed. Either the close button was clicked or duration time elapsed.',
  );
};

const App: React.FC = () => {
  const [api, contextHolder] = notification.useNotification();

  const openNotification = () => {
    const key = `open${Date.now()}`;
    const btn = (
      <Space>
        <Button type="link" size="small" onClick={() => api.destroy()}>
          Destroy All
        </Button>
        <Button type="primary" size="small" onClick={() => api.destroy(key)}>
          Confirm
        </Button>
      </Space>
    );
    api.open({
      message: 'Notification Title',
      description:
        'A function will be be called after the notification is closed (automatically after the "duration" time of manually).',
      btn,
      key,
      onClose: close,
    });
  };

  return (
    <>
      {contextHolder}
      <Button type="primary" onClick={openNotification}>
        Open the notification box
      </Button>
    </>
  );
};

export default App;

3. Build a React app with TypeScript and Ant Design, including Notifications for success, info, warning, and error messages.

import React from 'react';
import { Button, notification, Space } from 'antd';

type NotificationType = 'success' | 'info' | 'warning' | 'error';

const App: React.FC = () => {
  const [api, contextHolder] = notification.useNotification();

  const openNotificationWithIcon = (type: NotificationType) => {
    api[type]({
      message: 'Notification Title',
      description:
        'This is the content of the notification. This is the content of the notification. This is the content of the notification.',
    });
  };

  return (
    <>
      {contextHolder}
      <Space>
        <Button onClick={() => openNotificationWithIcon('success')}>Success</Button>
        <Button onClick={() => openNotificationWithIcon('info')}>Info</Button>
        <Button onClick={() => openNotificationWithIcon('warning')}>Warning</Button>
        <Button onClick={() => openNotificationWithIcon('error')}>Error</Button>
      </Space>
    </>
  );
};

export default App;
