React Notification Center API Reference

This page contains complete documentation about the React Notification Center package. You can find here the list of all the components, hooks, and props that you can use.

Components

Components are the building blocks of the React Notification Center package. They are used to build the UI of the notification center.

NovuProvider

The NovuProvider is the root component of the React Notification Center package. It is used to wrap the components code and provide the notifications feed context to all its children. It’s responsible for establishing the notification center session, managing the web socket connection, and fetching the notifications feed.

PropTypeDescription
backendUrlstring (optional)The custom backend URL, your own deployed instance of the API. The default is https://api.novu.co.app/.
socketUrlstring (optional)The custom socket URL, your own deployed instance of the WS app. The default is https://ws.novu.co/.
applicationIdentifierstringThe app id is taken from the Novu Settings -> API Keys tab.
subscriberIdstringThe unique user id from your system.
subscriberHashstring (optional)The HMAC encrypted subscriberId. Read about hmac encryption
storesIStore (optional)The connection object between feed and notification center tab.
i18nITranslationEntry | ITranslationContent (optional)The prop allows to configure the UI language.
stylesNotificationCenterStyles (optional)The prop allowing to style the notification center. It’s based on the CSSInterpolation object from the @emotion/css package.
initialFetchingStrategyIFetchingStrategy (optional)The fetching strategy. By default notifications feed and user preferences are not fetched until the notification center is opened. You might need to tweak this configuration when building a custom UI and if you need to fetch notifications right away. Also it’s possible to change it when some action happens using the useNovuContext hook and setFetchingStrategy prop.
childrenobjectThe ReactNode object type, the “consumer” of the NovuProvider context.
onLoadfunction (optional)The function that is called with an organization object after the notification center session is initialized.

useFetchNotifications

useFetchNotifications can fetche the notifications for a particular feed. It’s a thin version of the useNotifications hook and is based on the useInfiniteQuery hook from the react-query library. Notifications can be filtered using payload property. Check all properties of IStoreQuery interface. The notifications are fetched only when the fetchingStrategy.fetchNotifications is set to true interface, check the initialFetchingStrategy prop on the NovuProvider component.

const query: IStoreQuery = {
  limit: 10,
  payload: {
    key: "value",
  },
