Textbox.io 2.x Documentation : editor.message

Display a message banner in the editor UI with editor.message()

A message banner may be of one of three types: info (blue), warning (orange), or error (red).  If you so choose, you may display more than one message at a time.

Example

editor.message(type, timeout, message)
// Replace the element with id 'replaceMe' 
var editor = textboxio.replace( '#replaceMe' );

// Display an informational message in the editor UI for 5 seconds
editor.message('info', 5000, 'This editor is ready to use.');

Parameters

type

String

Specify the message type: info, warning, or error.

timeoutInteger

Specify time in msec before the editor message is automatically dismissed.

Note: Specifying 0 will cause the message to be displayed indefinitely.

message
StringThe text to be displayed in the message.

Returns

The message function returns an object with a hide function. This can be used to create a message that is hidden by some other action, instead of by a timeout.

Example

editor.message(type, timeout, message)
// Replace the element with id 'replaceMe' 
var editor = textboxio.replace( '#replaceMe' );

// Display a warning message that doesn't hide automatically
var msg = editor.message('warning', 0, 'Connection lost');
 
... later ...
 
// Hide the message
msg.hide();
