Slot‑based custom HTML (Basecode 3.2.xx+)

Starting in basecode 3.2.xx+, showAlert supports providing a custom HTML template that fully replaces the default notification body. Use either the html or template key in options.

Notes:

  • Your HTML is rendered via the BetterForms html-renderer-old component.

  • When you need access to the vue‑notification slot context, reference it as props.item and props.close() inside your template (not item/close directly).

  • If you don’t need slot props, you can omit them entirely.

Example A – Simple custom body (no slot props)

{
  "action": "showAlert",
  "options": {
    "type": "success",
    "position": "bottom left",
    "html": "<div style=\"padding:12px 14px; border:1px solid #c1ecd5; background:#eaf9f1; border-radius:6px; color:#1f2d3d;\">Operation complete.</div>"
  }
}

Example B – Advanced body using slot props (props.item, props.close)

{
  "action": "showAlert",
  "options": {
    "title": "TEST NOTIFICATION #2",
    "text": "This is notification text!",
    "position" : "bottom left",
    "type": "success",
    "html": "\n<div class=\"flex items-start gap-3 p-4 border border-green-200 bg-green-50 rounded-md relative w-full\">\n  <i class=\"fas fa-check-circle text-green-500 text-2xl flex-shrink-0\"></i>\n  <div class=\"flex-1 text-green-900\">\n    <div class=\"font-bold uppercase tracking-wide mb-1 opacity-90 text-green-900\">{{ props.item.title }}</div>\n    <div class=\"text-3xl leading-snug text-green-900\">{{ props.item.text }}</div>\n    <div class=\"mt-1 text-sm text-green-700\">Date: {{ new Date().toString() }}</div>\n  </div>\n  <button @click=\"props.close()\" aria-label=\"Close\" class=\"absolute top-2 right-2 bg-transparent border-none text-green-400 text-lg cursor-pointer p-0 leading-none\">\n    &times;\n  </button>\n</div>\n"
  }
}

Tip: Font Awesome classes (e.g., fas fa-check-circle) assume FA is loaded in your app/theme.


FileMaker Custom Function

This CF allows for super easy implementation. Pass additional options in the options object if needed.

// V1
