Menu

A common framework for displaying notifications to the client. Submitted notifications are added to a queue, and up to 3 notifications are displayed at once. Each notification is displayed for 5 seconds at which point further notifications are pulled from the queue.

example

Displaying Notification Messages

ui.notifications.info("This is an info message");
ui.notifications.warn("This is a warning message");
ui.notifications.error("This is an error message");
ui.notifications.info("This is a 4th message which will not be shown until the first info message is done");

    Returns void

  • getData(options?: any): any
  • An application should define the data object used to render its template. This function may either return an Object directly, or a Promise which resolves to an Object If undefined, the default implementation will return an empty object allowing only for rendering of static HTML

    Parameters

    Returns any

  • render(force?: boolean, options?: { left: number; top: number; width: number; height: number; scale: number; focus: boolean; renderContext: string; renderData: any }): Application
  • Render the Application by evaluating it's HTML template against the object of data provided by the getData method If the Application is rendered as a pop-out window, wrap the contained HTML in an outer frame with window controls

    Parameters

    • force: boolean = false

      Add the rendered application to the DOM if it is not already present. If false, the Application will only be re-rendered if it is already present.
