How to override notificationDesign ? about tsmessages HOT 5 CLOSED

How timely! I was just looking into the same thing.

Hello,
You are right. My first thought were to just customize and change the values of design.json. This isn't possible when using Cocoapods.
Assigning a custom file name before using this class like [TSMessage setDesignConfigurationFileName:@"otherFile.json"] would be a nice option I guess.
Would that be a good solution?

Thanks for the quick reply. I implemented a solution in a fork that works for my project. I made notificationDesign a class function that returns a NSMutableDictionary. This way you could modify the styles programmatically when necessary. Additionally I added a convenience class function addNotificationDesignFromFile which merges in the contents of another json file into the notificationDesign dictionary. This was I can re-use the default styles in design.json which is useful to get started.

I'll submit a pull request in a second where you can review the changes.

@mbaranowski that solution would mostly fit my needs as well. Glad you've got a pull request ready to go.

Any ideas on adding new types to TSMessageNotificationType? I might just need to stick with re-styled default types for now.

Thanks for your great contribution. I merged it just now. I haven't yet tried loading a custom design file, the default one works fine.

I used these files in my apps for a year already and it wasn't planned to release it in the beginning. That's why it may not be perfect to customize right now. One temporary solution would be to just copy the files into your project and change what you need.

I have to come up with a more general solution for adding more designs in the future.
