[RFC] Add feedback after adding an item

[ankedsgn]

This happens especially when you have larger menus that are larger then your viewport.

How to reproduce

• in existing menu, add an item ( box on right)
• Add a label for the new item
• Start typing name of page , e.g./page/this-is-my-page
• Select a page that shows in the pulldown

Result: link/path field is cleared and nothing seems to happen What does happen: On selecting the page, the new item is placed on the bottom of the menu. This might be out of your viewport. Hence the feeling that 'nothing happens and it's broken'

Possible solutions

Option 1:

• Have a Add item button that you have to click actively after selecting the page. (This way you actually have a last check, when both fields are filled out)
• Directly scroll to new item after click on add item

Option 2:

• A dialog that says: Succes! We added Item blabla and put it on bottom of your menu

Background

I First wanted to file a bug for 'it's broken, nothing happens when I add a new item' and then I discovered 10 new items with the same label somewhere on the bottom of my menu..

Option 2 sounds good to me, do you want to PR that? it's probably just something like adding a line with showFlash('Menuitem added!') here: https://github.com/bacbos/bolt-menu-editor/blob/master/web/menueditor.js#L222

Yes, I was thinking of digging into it and doing exactly that. Thnx for pointing out where!
