Nuxt.js - Implementing a component using Plugin - plugins

Question

I would like to implement a custom Toaster component into my NuxtJs application by this method this.$toast.show({}) What is the best way of approaching this? Sadly I can't find any documentation on this.

Sorry, I arrive one year late...
I had the same proplem. Here is my code:
The index of my plugin (index.js ; Nofification.vue is a classical Vue component):
import Notifications from './Notifications.vue'
const NotificationStore = {
state: [], // here the notifications will be added
settings: {
overlap: false,
horizontalAlign: 'center',
type: 'info',
timeout: 5000,
...
},
setOptions(options) {
this.settings = Object.assign(this.settings, options)
},
removeNotification(timestamp) {
...
},
addNotification(notification) {
...
},
notify(notification) {
...
},
}
const NotificationsPlugin = {
install(Vue, options) {
const app = new Vue({
data: {
notificationStore: NotificationStore,
},
methods: {
notify(notification) {
this.notificationStore.notify(notification)
},
},
})
Vue.prototype.$notify = app.notify
Vue.notify = app.notify
Vue.prototype.$notifications = app.notificationStore
Vue.component('Notifications', Notifications)
if (options) {
NotificationStore.setOptions(options)
}
},
}
export default NotificationsPlugin
Here I call my plugin and inject it in Nuxt:
import Notifications from '~/components/NotificationPlugin'
Vue.use(Notifications)
export default (context, inject) => {
inject('notify', Vue.notify)
}
In my case, I use it in another plugin (nuxtjs axios).
import NOTIFICATIONS from '~/constants/notifications'
export default function ({ error, $axios, app }) {
// Using few axios helpers (https://axios.nuxtjs.org/helpers):
$axios.onError((axiosError) => {
// eslint-disable-next-line no-console
console.log('Axios: An error occured! ', axiosError, axiosError.response)
if (process.server) {
...
} else {
app.$notify({
message: 'Mon message',
timeout: NOTIFICATIONS.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT,
icon: 'tim-icons icon-spaceship',
horizontalAlign: NOTIFICATIONS.DEFAULT_ALIGN_HORIZONTAL,
verticalAlign: NOTIFICATIONS.DEFAULT_ALIGN_VERTICAL,
type: 'success',
})
console.log('PRINT ERROR')
return Promise.resolve(true)
}
})
}
As I injected it, I think I could have done export default function ({ error, $axios, app, $notify }) { and directly use $notify (and not the app.$notify).
If you want a better understanding, feel free to consult #nuxtjs/toast which works the same way:
https://github.com/nuxt-community/community-modules/blob/master/packages/toast/plugin.js
And the matching Vue component:
https://github.com/shakee93/vue-toasted/blob/master/src/index.js
Good luck, this is not easy stuff. I'll try to add something easier to understand in the docs!

you can find in this package https://www.npmjs.com/package/vue-toasted
installation
npm install vue-toasted --save
make a file as name toast.js in plugin folder
toast.js
import Vue from 'vue';
import Toasted from 'vue-toasted';
Vue.use(Toasted)
add this plugin to nuxt.config.js
plugins: [
{ src: '~/plugins/toast', ssr: false },
],
now you able to use in your methods like this
this.$toasted.show('hello i am your toast')
hope this helps
