Description
The GlobalStatus is a complex component meant for displaying global Application notifications or a summary of a form ( displaying form errors, messages etc. ).
By default, the GlobalStatus
is automatically connected together with the FormStatus component. This means, that every form component showing a status, will send the status message along to the GlobalStatus
.
FormStatus default behavior
- Once a FormStatus is shown, the
main
GlobalStatus will show up. - The page will scroll (if needed) to the dedicated GlobalStatus.
- Form components will send along both the status text and its label to show a good and accessible summary.
- Screen reader uses will automatically hear the whole content of the
GlobalStatus
once it shows up.
Several Global statuses
Normally, you only want to have one GlobalStatus
inside your application. But you can have several in parallel. But make sure you give every other a new ID:
<GlobalStatus id="other-global-status" />
Where to put it
- The
GlobalStatus
component should be positioned right under the header. By default, it usesmain
as the ID. - Or as a secondary summary of errors in a submit form. Keep in mind, by default, form components like Input are using the ID
main
. To make sure the build in FormStatus is sending along the message to anotherGlobalStatus
, you have to set theglobalStatus
, like:
<GlobalStatus id="other-global-status" /> <Input globalStatus={{ id: 'other-global-status', }} />
But you can also make use of the Eufemia Provider where you will be able to send along the globalStatus
the underlying/wrapped components, like:
<GlobalStatus id="other-global-status" /> <Provider formElement={{ globalStatus: { id: 'other-global-status', }, }} > <Input status="Message" /> </Provider>
Manually updates
Besides the automated connection between the error states of form components (FormStatus), you can update messages from everywhere in your application at any time:
NB: The GlobalStatus will autoclose
by default, once all messages are removed.
JavaScript (interceptor situation)
You can access and manipulate an existing GlobalStatus from outside of the React render tree.
- Given you have already defined a GlobalStatus in JSX:
<GlobalStatus id="other-global-status" />
- Then you can control it from within a JavaScript context whenever you need to:
// 1. Update / extend the the status like so: const statusOne = GlobalStatus.create({ id: 'other-global-status', // or main status_id: 'custom-id-1', text: 'New Text', item: 'Item from status #1', title: 'New Title', show: true, }) // 2. and removes "custom-id-1" again if needed statusOne.update({ text: 'Updated Text', }) // 3. and removes "custom-id-1" again if needed statusOne.remove() render(<GlobalStatus id="other-global-status" />)
JSX
{/* 1. Place it under the header bar */} <GlobalStatus text="Optional default text" /> {/* 2. later on, you can show a message */} <GlobalStatus.Add id="custom-id" status_id="custom-id-1" title="New title" text="First long info text ..." item="Item from status #1" on_close={({ status_id }) => { console.log('on_close', status_id) }} /> {/* 3. and remove it again */} <GlobalStatus.Remove id="custom-id" status_id="custom-id-1" />
If you need an additional GlobalStatus
, define a custom ID (custom-status):
{/* 1. Place it somewhere in your application */} <GlobalStatus id="custom-status" /> {/* 2. later on, you can show a message */} <GlobalStatus.Add id="custom-status" status_id="custom-id-1" title="New title" text="First long info text ..." item="Item from status #1" on_close={({ status_id }) => { console.log('on_close', status_id) }} /> {/* 3. and remove it again */} <GlobalStatus.Remove id="custom-status" status_id="custom-id-1" />
Demos
GlobalStatus displaying error status
NB: Keep in mind, the items
are handled automatically by all form components! This is just an example of how to define the content manually.
<GlobalStatus title="Custom Title" text="Failure text" items={[ { text: 'List item', status_anchor_url: '/uilib/components/global-status', status_anchor_label: 'eksempel', }, ]} show={true} autoscroll={false} no_animation={true} omit_set_focus={true} id="demo-1" />
GlobalStatus displaying info status
<GlobalStatus state="info" title="Custom info title ..." text="Long info nisl tempus hendrerit tortor dapibus nascetur taciti porta risus cursus fusce platea enim curabitur proin nibh ut luctus magnis metus" items={['Status text 1', 'Status text 2']} show={true} autoscroll={false} no_animation={true} omit_set_focus={true} id="demo-4" />
GlobalStatus displaying warning status
<GlobalStatus state="warning" title="Custom warning title ..." text="A string of text providing a warning or semi-urgent message of some kind to the user" show={true} autoscroll={false} no_animation={true} omit_set_focus={true} id="demo-5" />
GlobalStatus displaying success status
<GlobalStatus state="success" title="Custom success title ..." text="A string of text providing a success message of some kind to the user" show={true} autoscroll={false} no_animation={true} omit_set_focus={true} id="demo-6" />
To showcase the automated coupling between FormStatus and GlobalStatus
const InputWithError = () => { const [errorMessage, setErrorMessage] = React.useState(null) return ( <Input label="Input" placeholder="Write less than 5 chars and dismiss the focus to show the GlobalStatus ..." stretch status={errorMessage} on_blur={({ value }) => { setErrorMessage(value.length <= 4 ? 'With a message shown' : null) }} globalStatus={{ id: 'main-status', }} /> ) } render(<InputWithError />)
