| 23 | +## Description |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +This KB article answers the following questions: |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +* How to use a single Telerik Notification component for Blazor in multiple other Razor files? |
| 28 | +* How to reuse one Notification instance in the whole Blazor application? |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +## Solution |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +There are two possible ways to implement a reusable Notification component instance: |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +* [Pass the Notification in a Cascading Value](#pass-the-notification-in-a-cascading-value) |
| 35 | +* [Use the Notification as a Service](#use-the-notification-as-a-service) |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +The Notification component in both scenarios must be defined: |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +1. As a descendant (or child) of the [`<TelerikRootComponent>`]({%slug rootcomponent-overview%}). |
| 40 | +1. In a `.razor` file with enabled interactive render mode. The `MainLayout` is interactive only if the Blazor app has **Global** interactivity location. |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +### Pass the Notification in a Cascading Value |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +1. [Define a Telerik Notification component]({%slug notification-overview%}#creating-blazor-notification) in `MainLayout.razor`. |
| 45 | +1. [Set the Notification `@ref` attribute]({%slug notification-overview%}#notifications-reference-and-methods). Use an `internal` or `public` accessor. |
| 46 | +1. Wrap the `@Body` in `MainLayout` in a `<CascadingValue>` that passes the `MainLayout` instance itself. This avoids potential issues with missing Notification instance in child components on initial app load. Set `IsFixed="true"` to the `CascadingValue` to avoid unnecessary renders. |
| 47 | +1. Consume the `MainLayout` instance in child Razor components as a `[CascadingParameter]` and access the Notification instance methods through the `MainLayout` instance. |

| 101 | +### Use the Notification as a Service |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +1. Implement a service that holds a Notification component instance as a property and executes component methods. |
| 104 | +1. Register the service in `Program.cs`. |
| 105 | +1. [Define a Telerik Notification component]({%slug notification-overview%}#creating-blazor-notification) in `MainLayout.razor`. |
| 106 | +1. Inject the service in `MainLayout.razor` and [set the Notification `@ref` attribute]({%slug notification-overview%}#notifications-reference-and-methods) to a property of the service. |
| 107 | +1. Inject and use the service in other Razor components. |
