Adding a timer to BitMessage similar to Snackbar

[nhwilly]

I am using the BitMessage in a modal for modal related communications. I prefer it there, directly in from of the user's work as they are looking at it.

But I would love to have a time out similar to Snackbar that would clear the message after a while. This way my success and info messages could be automatically cleared.

Is this possible? If it is not a feature you can add, can you suggest an approach?

BTW I still can't get over how great this package is. I have found a built-in solution for almost every challenge I've come across. Well done.

Ok. That's completely wild. The wiki just gave me a great solution.

Awesome.

It seems a good addition to the BitMessage component. You can file a new issue for this new feature if you please, allowing us to start working on it.

I found the reference in the online documentation, but I'm using v9.12 and I see it's not there, yet. Do I need to install the prerelease of v10 to start using it? TIA

[msynk]

this feature is available since the prerelease v-10.0.0-pre-02.

I thought so, but didn't want to upgrade too soon.

I'll check it out.

Thanks!

I've been thinking about this a bit more.

As I look at it, what I think might be more accurate is the idea of having a Snackbar item appear inside a container, like a modal. In that case, Top would be the top of the modal, instead of the top of the page. If that was possible, then many (all?) of the features of a Snackbar would be available to a modal.

I haven't studied the Snackbar to see if this is feasible, but would that be a better approach?

I've filed the issue #11426 addressing this discussin.
