<Bell />

The Bell component displays the notification bell icon and unread notification count

The Bell component displays the notification bell icon. It can also be used to show the number of unread notifications.

Custom Bell

You can pass any custom components to the renderBell prop to use with your own bell icon and unread count UI.

import { Inbox, Bell } from '@novu/react';
import { BellIcon } from './icons';
 
function Novu() {
  return (
    <Inbox 
      applicationIdentifier="YOUR_APPLICATION_IDENTIFIER" 
      subscriber="YOUR_SUBSCRIBER_ID" 
      renderBell={(unreadCount) => {
          return (
            <div className="bg-purple-300 p-4 inline-flex">
              New ${unreadCount} notifications
            </div>
          );
      }} 
    />
  );
}

<Inbox /> can be mounted in your own popover component. For further customization, you can also use the renderBell and renderNotification render props.

Below is an example of how to use <Inbox /> with Radix UI:

import React from 'react';
import * as Popover from '@radix-ui/react-popover';
import { BellIcon, Cross2Icon } from '@radix-ui/react-icons';
import { Inbox, Bell, Notifications } from '@novu/react';
import './styles.css';
 
const PopoverDemo = () => (
  <Inbox applicationIdentifier="YOUR_APPLICATION_IDENTIFIER" subscriber="YOUR_SUBSCRIBER_ID">
    <Popover.Root>
      <Popover.Trigger asChild>
        <Bell
          renderBell={(unreadCount) => (
            <div>
              <span>{unreadCount}</span>
              <BellIcon />
            </div>
          )}
        />
      </Popover.Trigger>
      <Popover.Portal>
        <Popover.Content className="PopoverContent" sideOffset={5}>
          <Notifications />
          <Popover.Close className="PopoverClose" aria-label="Close">
            <Cross2Icon />
          </Popover.Close>
          <Popover.Arrow className="PopoverArrow" />
        </Popover.Content>
      </Popover.Portal>
    </Popover.Root>
  </Inbox>
);
 
export default PopoverDemo;
