Using Vue.js In-App Inbox Component

To add engagespot notification center UI component to your Vue.js application, you should use our esm module.

Notification Inbox Preview

Something like this.

Quick Setup​

You can install the package from npm or from the CDN.

npm install @engagespot/client

Then import the render function and use that to render the notification center.

<template>
  <div ref="bellIcon">Notifications</div>
</template>

<script type="module">
import { render } from "@engagespot/client";

export default {
  name: "Notifications",
  mounted: function () {
    const options = {
      apiKey: "ENGAGESPOT_API_KEY",
      userId: "YOUR_USERS_ID",
    };
    render(this.$refs.bellIcon, options);
  },
};
</script>

You can find your ENGAGESPOT_API_KEY from your Engagespot dashboard. As explained in the basic concepts chapter, userId should be any value to uniquely identify your app's users. It can be their email id, or UUID or a numerical id from your database.

Customizing Theme​

You can customize the look and feel of the Engagespot Notification Inbox using the theme property. All the theme customization options mentioned in React Component are available in this library too.

Working with Actionable Elements​

Engagespot In-App Inbox supports interactive notifications with buttons and input fields. You can choose the layout while creating a template from the Engagespot Console.

Unique ID of interactive element​

Every interactive element, like buttons and input fields, is assigned a unique block ID. You can locate this block ID within your template editor. It's crucial to have this block ID when writing event listeners for the respective elements.

Writing Event Listeners for Actionable Elements​

Use the eventListenersToRun property of Engagespot component to define event listeners for any block.

render(this.$refs.bellIcon, {
  apiKey: 'ENGAGESPOT_API_KEY',
  userId: 'YOUR_USERS_UNIQUE_ID',
  eventListenersToRun: [
    {
      blockId: '<blockId>',
      event: '<supportedEvent>',
      onEvent: ({ event, changeNotificationState, getValue }) => {
        /**
         * For input components, you can read their value
         * using `getValue()` function.
         */
        const comment = getValue('t101_b0_default_i0');

        /**
         * Change the state of notification
         * using `changeNotificationState()` method
         */
        changeNotificationState({ state: 'accept' });
      },
    },
  ],
});
