Can I use notifications outside of Lit elements?

Yes, notifications can be used in any class extending UmbControllerBase by using the getContext() method to retrieve the notification context asynchronously.

How do I trigger a notification in the Umbraco backoffice?

You can trigger a notification by consuming the UMB_NOTIFICATION_CONTEXT and calling its peek() method with the desired type and message data.

Do I need to manually dismiss these notifications?

No, the peek() method generates toast-style notifications that are designed to appear temporarily and dismiss themselves automatically.

What are the available notification types?

The standard types are 'positive' for success (green), 'danger' for errors (red), and 'warning' for alerts (orange/yellow).
