# Notification preferences

A React block (a whole screen) in [Beamline](https://beamline.io/)'s [Blocks](https://beamline.io/components/blocks) category. Live demo: https://beamline.io/components/notification-preferences

What reaches a person and where: events grouped by area down the side, channels (email, push, Slack, in-app) across the top, a switch per pair that saves on its own and steps back if refused, a column switch for a whole channel, channels that still need connecting, alerts that cannot be turned off, a digest, quiet hours and a pause for everything. In a narrow room each event carries its channels as a row of toggles.

## Use it for

- The Notifications page of a product: which events reach a person by which channel, plus digest, quiet hours and pause.
- Any per-event, per-channel opt-in that should apply the moment it is changed.

## Not for

- What a role may do, saved as one change ([roles-permissions](https://beamline.io/components/roles-permissions)).
- The inbox of notifications themselves ([notification-center](https://beamline.io/components/notification-center)).
- A single on/off preference ([switch](https://beamline.io/components/switch)).

## Anatomy

- header: title, saved caption (Saved · just now), Pause all (a menu of how long)
- paused notice: until when, Resume (the primary action while paused)
- matrix: events grouped by area with one line each; channel columns with their address or room, a column switch, or Connect when the channel is not set up; a switch per event and channel; a lock where an alert always goes
- narrow room (under 36rem): each event with a row of channel toggles (icons, named in tooltips and to assistive tech)
- digest: off, daily or weekly, and when it arrives
- quiet hours: on or off, from and to, the days they apply

## States

- loading; load failed (Try again)
- a switch saving (busy), saved (caption), refused (steps back, says why, Retry)
- a whole channel on, off or mixed
- channel not connected (Connect; its switches wait)
- required: always sent on that channel (locked, says why on hover and focus)
- paused until a time; resumed
- quiet hours off; on with times and days; saving
- partial data: an event with no setting yet reads off, never guessed on
- A whole-channel save waits for pending cells in that channel; while it saves, its cells wait too. Other channels remain usable.

## Keyboard

- Tab through the switches row by row; Space toggles; each is named “Deal won by email”
- Pause all: Enter opens the menu, arrows choose
- Quiet hours: type the times or step them with arrows; days are toggles

## Motion

A switch's thumb slides as it saves and slides back if refused. The saved caption fades in and out. The paused notice folds open and closed. A channel switch turns every switch in its column with a short stagger down the column. Reduced motion places everything at once.

## Props

| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `channels` (required) | `NotifyChannel[]` | — | id, label, icon, detail (address or room), connected (false shows Connect). |
| `events` (required) | `NotifyEvent[]` | — | id, label, group, description, required channel ids (always on). |
| `value / defaultValue / onValueChange` | `Record<string, string[]>` | — | The channels each event goes to. |
| `onToggle` (required) | `(event: string \| null, channel: string, on: boolean) => Promise<void>` | — | Saves one change (event null: the whole channel); a rejection steps it back. |
| `digest / onDigestChange` | `"off" \| "daily" \| "weekly" / (value) => Promise<void>` | — | Shows the digest panel. |
| `quietHours / onQuietHoursChange` | `QuietHours / (value) => Promise<void>` | — | Shows the quiet hours panel. |
| `pausedUntil / onPause` | `number \| null / (until: number \| null) => Promise<void>` | — | Shows Pause all. |
| `onConnectChannel` | `(id) => void` | — | Connect on a channel that is not set up. |
| `loading / error / onRetry` | `boolean / ReactNode / () => void \| Promise<unknown>` | — |  |
| `level` | `1 \| 2` | — |  |
| `className / classNames / style / ref` | `string / NotificationPreferencesClassNames / CSSProperties / Ref<HTMLDivElement>` | — |  |
