wolas:alerts

Meteor smart package for displaying bootstrap alerts to user based on "Discover Meteor" errors approach but with multiple containers and configurable css classes.

Demo app: [TBA]

Install

Simply use this command:

$ meteor add wolas:alerts

Usage

No configuration necessary for success, error, info and warning messages. Default behaviour is to not stack alerts when adding new one, and clear already seen messages.

You can add global container as such:

{{> alerts}}

Or specific container (possible to have multiple containers on one site).

{{> alerts container="loginform"}}

Now you can simply throw alerts:

Alerts.success("You have successfully logged in") 

We have just put success alert into global container or:

Alerts.success("You have successfully logged in", "loginform")

into specific - "loginform" container.
