~1.77kb gzipped

Install

npm i promobar --save

Basic Usage

This library requires some markup and styles. By default, the promo bar is not shown. Once shown, it will continue to show until a user closes it. Once closed, the promo bar will not show for that user again until either the content has been updated, or the time interval specified in lifespan is reached.

import promobar from 'promobar'

const target = document.getElementById('promobar')

const promo = promobar(target, {
  content: document.getElementById('promoContent').innerHTML,
  lifespan: 1,
  resize: true,
  placeholder: () => /products|posts/.test(window.location.pathname),
  offsets: [
    [document.getElementById('header'), () => /\//.test(window.location.pathname)],
    document.getElementById('nav')
  ],
  close: [ document.getElementById('promoClose') ]
})

promo.show()

Configuration

promobar(target[, {...configation}])

The constructor takes two params, and return an instance object with API methods attached.

  • target - the outer element of your promo bar
  • configuration
    • content - the text and/or markup that is the content of your promo bar type: string - default: document.getElementById('promoContent').innerHTML
    • lifespan - the number of days before the promo expires and is enabled again for the user type: number - default: 1
    • resize - to watch the height of the bar on resize and adjust offsets to match type: boolean - default: true
    • placeholder - inserts a placeholder element that displaces the site by the height of the promo bar. Pass a function that returns a boolean to conditionally use a placeholder type: function|boolean - default: true
    • close - an array of elements that, when clicked, should trigger the hide sequence of the promo bar type: array - default: Array.prototype.slice.call(document.querySelectorAll('.js-promobarClose'))
    • offsets - an array of elements that need to be displaced when the promo bar is active. These elements will receive an attribute that is styled with transformY. type: array - default: []
