bootstrap-growl
===============

[](#bootstrap-growl)

Pretty simple jQuery plugin that turns standard Bootstrap alerts into hovering "Growl-like" notifications.

Demo
----

[](#demo)

I have a basic demo set up at jsfiddle for the time being which you can view here:

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Uses standard [Twitter Bootstrap alerts](http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/components.html#alerts) which provides 'info', 'danger', and 'success' styles.
- Multiple growls called consecutively are stacked up one after another in a list.
- Automatically fades growls away after a default of 4 seconds.

Dependencies
------------

[](#dependencies)

1. Latest version of jQuery. (tested on 1.11.0)
2. [Twitter Bootstrap](http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/index.html). (current rev tested with 3.3.1)

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Include the dependencies and `jquery.bootstrap-growl.min.js` into your page and call the following:

```
$.bootstrapGrowl("My message");
```

Available Options
-----------------

[](#available-options)

By default, growls use the standard 'alert' Bootstrap style, are 250px wide, right aligned, and are positioned 20px from the top right of the page.

```
$.bootstrapGrowl("another message, yay!", {
  ele: 'body', // which element to append to
  type: 'info', // (null, 'info', 'danger', 'success')
  offset: {from: 'top', amount: 20}, // 'top', or 'bottom'
  align: 'right', // ('left', 'right', or 'center')
  width: 250, // (integer, or 'auto')
  delay: 4000, // Time while the message will be displayed. It's not equivalent to the *demo* timeOut!
  allow_dismiss: true, // If true then will display a cross to close the popup.
  stackup_spacing: 10 // spacing between consecutively stacked growls.
});
```

Note: Previous `top_offset` is not broken by this latest change.
