Hi Carl!
Thanks for the quick response.
I am aware of those serverside functions… but they are awkward to work with because the messages don’t actually show up until you refresh or navigate to the next page.
But by looking again at how that works, I found the answer…
Putting this in frontend.js works:
let message = '<b>Alert:</b> A bad error occured.<br>More details serverside, in Detective.';
let system_notification = new mats.core.system_notification();
system_notification.show_notification('error', message, {timeOut: 15000});
Arguments to show_notification appear to be:
- info | warning | error (corresponding to banners that are blue | orange | red)
- The text of the message (which accepts html for formatting)
- Display options, example above makes the toast persist for 15 seconds
I am guessing the options are those described here:
I dare say direct use of this undocumented function will not necessarily be supported in future versions of Liberty Create. So to be safe, might be best to include a copy of toastr in the widget.
