Is there a way to add flash messages to a page?

[pboling]

I haven't been able to figure it out, and there are no examples in the documentation or specs.

I'm reading through the source, but it isn't clear how the various Flash mentions are connected.

In other words, I think there is a bug, or missing documentation. I've tried everything I can think of and I can't get them to render.

So far I have tried setting flash via:

• rodauth.flash[:error]
• rodauth.flash.now[:error]

And a bunch of other crazy things...

I think the issue is that I am expected to send the alerts / flashes in to the prepare_page call somehow. This doesn't make any sense to me since it should have access to the rodauth.flash.

@blocknotes any idea how to use flash?

I have gotten it to work, but it doesn't seem to be the intended way to do it.

• become_action_page.rb (simplified example)

  module Admin
  class BecomeActionPage < TinyAdmin::Views::DefaultLayout
    attr_accessor :alerts
  
    def view_template
      @messages = alerts
      super do
        # ... etc

• become_action.rb (simplified example)

  module Admin
  class BecomeAction < TinyAdmin::Actions::BasicAction
    def call(app:, context:, options:)
      id = context.reference.to_i
      account = Account.find(id)
  
      r = context.request
      rodauth = r.env["rodauth"]
      notices = ["You are now #{account[:email]}"]
      alerts = {notices:}
      rodauth.become_account(account)
      prepare_page(
       Admin::BecomeActionPage,
        attributes: {
          email: account[:email],
          alerts:,
        },
      )
    # ... etc

Thanks for your feedback @pboling - I'll make some evaluations when possible.
