Notifications extension built with bootstrap for ASP.NET MVC projects

BootstrapNotifications

Bootstrap Notifications is a controller extension built with bootstrap for ASP.NET MVC projects. It enables you to easily notify your users per request from the controller.

Installation

You can download it using the Package Manager Console:

 Install-Package BootstrapNotifications

or download it from NuGet

Alternatively, you can use the demo project from this repository.

Setup

1. To use this extension, you'll need to include the shared partial where you plan on displaying the notifications. I would suggest above @RenderBody() in _Layout.cshtml.

   Example _Layout.cshtml:

    <div class="container">
        @Html.Partial("_Notifications")
        @RenderBody()
    </div>
   

   _{NOTE: make sure to include bootstrap in your layout.}

2. In any controller, include the NotificationExtensions and you can start notifying your users:

   Example HomeController.cs:

    using System.Web.Mvc;
    using YourApp.Extensions;
   
    namespace YourApp.Controllers
    {
        public class HomeController : Controller
        {
   
            public ActionResult Index()
            {
                this.AddNotification("You're on fire, run!", NotificationType.ERROR);
                return View("Index");
            }
        }
    }
   

   

3. You're ready to go!
