Question 1

How to use OhSnap! with jQuery in a mobile app?

Accepted Answer

Include jQuery and ohSnap.js, then add a div with id 'ohsnap' and call ohSnap() with your text and options. The README shows examples for displaying alerts with custom colors and timing.

Question 2

OhSnap! vs Toastr for notifications?

Accepted Answer

OhSnap! is lighter and mobile-first, ideal for jQuery/Zepto mobile apps, while Toastr offers more features like multiple positions and animations but is heavier. Choose OhSnap! for simplicity and mobile optimization.

Question 3

Can I use OhSnap! in a React project?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it requires jQuery or Zepto as dependencies, which may add bloat. Consider React-specific notification libraries for better integration and performance in component-based architectures.

Question 4

How to change the colors in OhSnap! alerts?

Accepted Answer

Define custom CSS classes like .alert-red or .alert-green in your stylesheet, as shown in the README's styling section, and pass the color option when calling ohSnap().

Question 5

Is OhSnap! accessible for screen readers?

Accepted Answer

No, the README doesn't mention ARIA roles or accessibility features, so you'll need to manually add attributes like aria-live to ensure compatibility with assistive technologies.

Question 6

How to make OhSnap! notifications stack instead of replace?

Accepted Answer

OhSnap! doesn't support stacking natively; you'd need to modify the code or use CSS to position multiple alerts, as it's designed for simple, sequential notifications.
