Building notification inboxes with React

How to build notification inboxes powered by Knock and React.

Our @knocklabs/react library can be used to build full-page inbox experiences, too. In this guide we'll show you how to have a basic inbox ready for your users in a few minutes.

Getting started

#

To use this example, you'll need an account on Knock, as well as an in-app feed channel with a workflow that produces in-app feed messages. You'll also need:

  • A public API key for the Knock environment (set as KNOCK_PUBLIC_API_KEY)
  • The channel ID for the in-app feed (set as KNOCK_FEED_CHANNEL_ID)

Installing dependencies

#

Rendering the notification inbox

#

Here we're using the KnockProvider to authenticate our current user and get access to the Knock JavaScript client. Then we use the KnockFeedProvider to connect them to a Knock In-app Feed Channel. We then render the NotificationFeed component to give us a simple, complete notification inbox page.
