Summary:
- I would like to present a modal dialog (window) to user.
- The dialog should be visible for some specified amount of time (e.g. 50 seconds)
- After the time is up the dialog (window) should be programmatically closed. (not in response to user action, not in response to mouse moved, etc.)
Scenario:
- There are times when we need to re-deploy the application in production. Prior to re-deploy and during the operation we’d like the user to be informed about what is happening and prevent them from doing other activities during this short period of time.
- The deploy operation may take 45 seconds.
- A
Refresher
(http://vaadin.com/directory#addon/refresher:vaadin) is used to check periodically for alerts (like an application re-deploy) on the server. When a re-deploy is detected, the Refresher is reconfigured (by adjusting its interval) so that no refresh operations will be done during the time the application restart is expected to occur. - At this point I wish to present something visual (e.g. modal dialog with process bar and message). So now, I believe, we are completely client-side. So it would seem that the client would need to manage this (in straight javascript I’d use a
setTimeout(…)
). - Then after the set amount of time close the modal dialog, reset the refresher interval and go on using the application.
Any suggestions? Sample code? etc.?
Many thanks (Vaadin Rocks!!!)
