Icons in EJ2 TypeScript Message control
10 May 202319 minutes to read
This section explains the message with no icons, how to show or hide the close icon and add the custom severity icon to the message.
No Icon
By default, severity icons can be displayed according to the severity types to make it more understandable to the user by visual information rather than text. To hide the severity icons, set the showIcon property to false.
The following example demonstrates the different severity messages without the severity icons.
import { Message } from '@syncfusion/ej2-notifications'
let msgDefault: Message = new Message({
content: "Editing is restricted",
showIcon: false
});
msgDefault.appendTo('#msg_default');
let msgInfo: Message = new Message({
content: "Please read the comments carefully",
severity: "Info",
showIcon: false
});
msgInfo.appendTo('#msg_info');
let msgSuccess: Message = new Message({
content: "Your message has been sent successfully",
severity: "Success",
showIcon: false
});
msgSuccess.appendTo('#msg_success');
let msgWarning: Message = new Message({
content: "There was a problem with your network connection",
severity: "Warning",
showIcon: false
});
msgWarning.appendTo('#msg_warning');
let msgError: Message = new Message({
content: "A problem occurred while submitting your data",
severity: "Error",
showIcon: false
});
msgError.appendTo('#msg_error');<html>

</html>Custom Icon
By default, the severity icons can be displayed according to the severity type to make it more understandable to the user by visual information rather than text. If the user wants to customize these icons, it can be achieved through the cssClass property.
The following example demonstrates how the default message is rendered with a custom severity icon.
import { Message } from '@syncfusion/ej2-notifications'
let msgIcon: Message = new Message({
cssClass: "custom"
});
msgIcon.appendTo('#msg_icon');<html>

</html>Close Icon
The message can be rendered with or without the close icon. The close icon is used to hide the message, either by manually clicking the close icon or through keyboard interaction.
By default, the close icon is not rendered in the message. To show the close icon, set the showCloseIcon property to true.
In the following example, the messages are rendered with the close icon.
import { getComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
import { CheckBox, ChangeEventArgs, Button } from '@syncfusion/ej2-buttons';
import { Message } from '@syncfusion/ej2-notifications';
let showButton: Button = new Button({ content: 'Show default message', cssClass: "e-outline e-primary msg-hidden" });
showButton.appendTo('#btn1');
showButton.element.onclick = (): void => {
show(msgDefaultIcon, showButton);
}
let infoButton: Button = new Button({ content: 'Show info message', cssClass: "e-outline e-primary e-info msg-hidden" });
infoButton.appendTo('#btn2');
infoButton.element.onclick = (): void => {
show(msgInfoIcon, infoButton);
}
let successButton: Button = new Button({ content: 'Show success message', cssClass: "e-outline e-primary e-success msg-hidden" });
successButton.appendTo('#btn3');
successButton.element.onclick = (): void => {
show(msgSuccessIcon, successButton);
}
let warningButton: Button = new Button({ content: 'Show warning message', cssClass: "e-outline e-primary e-warning msg-hidden" });
warningButton.appendTo('#btn4');
warningButton.element.onclick = (): void => {
show(msgWarningIcon, warningButton);
}
let errorButton: Button = new Button({ content: 'Show error message', cssClass: "e-outline e-primary e-danger msg-hidden" });
errorButton.appendTo('#btn5');
errorButton.element.onclick = (): void => {
show(msgErrorIcon, errorButton);
}
let msgDefaultIcon: Message = new Message({
content: "Editing is restricted",
showCloseIcon: true,
closed: () => {
showButton.element.classList.remove('msg-hidden');
}
});
msgDefaultIcon.appendTo('#msg_default_icon');
let msgInfoIcon: Message = new Message({
content: "Please read the comments carefully",
severity: "Info",
showCloseIcon: true,
closed: () => {
infoButton.element.classList.remove('msg-hidden');
}
});
msgInfoIcon.appendTo('#msg_info_icon');
let msgSuccessIcon: Message = new Message({
content: "Your message has been sent successfully",
severity: "Success",
showCloseIcon: true,
closed: () => {
successButton.element.classList.remove('msg-hidden');
}
});
msgSuccessIcon.appendTo('#msg_success_icon');
let msgWarningIcon: Message = new Message({
content: "There was a problem with your network connection",
severity: "Warning",
showCloseIcon: true,
closed: () => {
warningButton.element.classList.remove('msg-hidden');
}
});
msgWarningIcon.appendTo('#msg_warning_icon');
let msgErrorIcon: Message = new Message({
content: "A problem occurred while submitting your data",
severity: "Error",
showCloseIcon: true,
closed: () => {
errorButton.element.classList.remove('msg-hidden');
}
});
msgErrorIcon.appendTo('#msg_error_icon');
function show(message: Message, btn: Button): void {
message.visible = true;
btn.element.classList.add('msg-hidden');
