## Usage Examples
|
||||
|
||||
### Using Notifications
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { useNotification } from '../contexts/NotificationContext';
|
||||
|
||||
function MyComponent() {
|
||||
const notification = useNotification();
|
||||
|
||||
const handleSave = async () => {
|
||||
try {
|
||||
await saveData();
|
||||
notification.showSuccess('Daten erfolgreich gespeichert');
|
||||
} catch (error) {
|
||||
notification.showError('Fehler beim Speichern der Daten');
|
||||
}
|
||||
};
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Using EmptyState
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import EmptyState from '../components/shared/EmptyState';
|
||||
import { SearchOff } from '@mui/icons-material';
|
||||
|
||||
function SearchResults() {
|
||||
if (results.length === 0) {
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<EmptyState
|
||||
icon={<SearchOff />}
|
||||
title="Keine Ergebnisse"
|
||||
message="Ihre Suche ergab keine Treffer. Versuchen Sie andere Suchbegriffe."
|
||||
action={{
|
||||
label: 'Suche zurücksetzen',
|
||||
onClick: resetSearch
|
||||
}}
|
||||
/>
|
||||
);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Using SkeletonCard
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import SkeletonCard from '../components/shared/SkeletonCard';
|
||||
|
||||
function DataList() {
|
||||
if (loading) {
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<Grid container spacing={3}>
|
||||
{[1, 2, 3].map(i => (
|
||||
<Grid item xs={12} md={4} key={i}>
|
||||
<SkeletonCard variant="basic" />
|
||||
</Grid>
|
||||
))}

||||
</Grid>
|
||||
