This article provides a step-by-step introduction to get started with the Syncfusion^® React Message component.

Prerequisites

System requirements for Syncfusion^® React UI components

Dependencies

The following list of dependencies are required to use the Message component in the application.

|-- @syncfusion/ej2-react-notifications
  |-- @syncfusion/ej2-base
  |-- @syncfusion/ej2-buttons
  |-- @syncfusion/ej2-popups
  |-- @syncfusion/ej2-notifications
  |-- @syncfusion/ej2-react-base

Create the React application

To easily set up a React application, use create-vite-app, which provides a faster development environment, smaller bundle sizes, and optimized builds compared to traditional tools like create-react-app. For detailed steps, refer to the Vite installation instructions. Vite sets up your environment using JavaScript and optimizes your application for production.

Note: To create a React application using create-react-app, refer to this documentation for more details.

To create a new React application, run the following command.

npm create vite@latest my-app

To set-up a React application in TypeScript environment, run the following command.

npm create vite@latest my-app -- --template react-ts
cd my-app
npm run dev

To set-up a React application in JavaScript environment, run the following command.

npm create vite@latest my-app -- --template react
cd my-app
npm run dev

Add Syncfusion^® React packages

Once you have created the React application, install the required Syncfusion^® React component package in the application. All Syncfusion^® React (Essential^® JS 2) packages are published on the npmjs.com public registry.

To install the Message component package, use the following command.

npm install @syncfusion/ej2-react-notifications --save

yarn add @syncfusion/ej2-react-notifications

Also, check out the installation section to know the different ways of installing the packages.

Import the Syncfusion^® CSS styles

After installing the Syncfusion^® component packages in the application, import the required themes based on the components used.

The Syncfusion^® React component comes with built-in themes, which are available in installed packages. It is quite simple to adapt the Syncfusion^® React components based on the application style by referring to any of the built-in themes. Import the Material theme for the Message component.

Import the CSS styles for the Message component and its dependencies in the src/App.css file.

@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-react-notifications/styles/material.css';

Check out the Themes topic to know more about built-in themes and different ways to refer to themes in React applications.

Add Message component to the application

Start adding the required components to the application. Add the Message component in the src/App.js or src/App.tsx file using the following code.

Before adding the Message component to the markup, import the Message component in the src/App.js or src/App.tsx file.
```
      import { MessageComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-notifications';
```
Then, add the Message component in the application using the following code sample.

import './App.css';
import { MessageComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-notifications';

function App() {
  return (<MessageComponent content="Please read the comments carefully"></MessageComponent>);
}

export default App;

Run the application

Now run the npm run dev command in the console to start the development server. This command compiles your code and serves the application locally, opening it in the browser.

npm run dev

 yarn dev

The output will appear as follows.

app.jsx
app.tsx
index.html
import * as React from "react";
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import { MessageComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-notifications';
function App() {
    return (<MessageComponent content="Please read the comments carefully"></MessageComponent>);
}
export default App;
const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('sample'));
root.render(<App />);
import * as React from "react";
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import { MessageComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-notifications';

function App() {
  return (<MessageComponent content="Please read the comments carefully"></MessageComponent>);
}
export default App;
const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('sample'));
root.render(<App />);
