Generating a NodeBB toaster from UserScript

Erufael

Simply put, is it possible to make a toaster appear from a GreaseMonkey script? I created a little script for myself that allows me to select topics in /unread, and hit a new button next to the New Topic button to ignore the selected topics. I just thought it would be nicer to use a toaster instead of the normal JavaScript alert() function.

Use app.alert:

app.alert({
    alert_id: 'some_id',
    title: 'your toaster title',
    message: 'something stupid',
    clickfn: () => { console.log('something'); },
    type: 'warning', // I don't know the types
});

You may not need all of the things.

@hungrier Well, that was simple enough. Thanks!

For future reference, three of the types are "success", "warning" and "danger" (that's the red one).

@erufael Additionally, set the timeout parameter so that they can disappear on their own. :D

Yes, Bootstrap.

Yes, Bootstrap.

So in theory, info should work too for a blue toaster.

Hopefully talkie isn't an option.

What's wrong with the existing button that does exactly that?

Reading comprehension fail. He was ignoring topics, not marking them read.
