Ability to programmatically close a specific notification

[zmikea]

Description

I have potentially 3 notifications during a process, and at the end of the process want to programmatically close a specific one of them immediately, but leave the other two to close based on their duration.

Solution Proposed

create an ID for each notification upon creation so that a user can obtain it upon creation, example:
id = notify(state, 'info', 'blah blah', duration=10000)
And then later in code, they can close it with the line
id.close

Hey @jrobinAV if this is up for grab, would like to work on this

Hello @cu8code,

Yes, it is. Let me assign it to you.

Thank you,

[cu8code]

@jrobinAV can you tell me which part of the code should I focus on. Just some of your initial thoughts about the problems. And the implementation!

[jrobinAV]

HI,

I believe @FredLL-Avaiga @FabienLelaquais @dinhlongviolin1 @namnguyen20999 are the key people to help you.

right now there is no identifier for a notification
I don't know if the notistack package proposes this feature (deletion)
If it does I suppose we should create a new type of notification (so that we use the same ws message type) and implement it on the frontend depending on the way the package works

[FabienLelaquais]

If a notification CAN be closed from the front-end... (which I think is pretty easy).
We could add an option "identifier" parameter to 'notify()' and send it along with the ALERT message, store it as a (data?) property of the generated element.
Then remove it when a new message (should we reuse ALERT?) is received referring to that id.
@FredLL-Avaiga, thoughts?

[FredLL-Avaiga]

after reading the code:

• there's already a way to remove the last notification by passing type= ""
• notistack support a key entry in the option object.
  So we only need to add an id to the payload and set it if present
  Should be quite easy

[FabienLelaquais]

... that sounds great. "Last notification" use case already handled (which I suspect is 99% of the cases).
Now we will want to add some semantics to 'duration': like "I 0, leave the notification on the page as long as it was not explicitly closed".

[cu8code]

@FabienLelaquais @jrobinAV reading the code

• Every time we send a notification, we will send an additional ID
• we need to return an object, that will have a close method
• we could also just return the notification_ID, create a new function to close the notification taking notification_ID as parameter.

  def notify(

Also, how do I visually test, all the different changes, do I have to build each of the models, and then create an example, to visually check everything is working ?

[FredLL-Avaiga]

no need to return an object
if a dev wants to be able to close a notification:

• first notify with an id (ie add an optional id to notify)
• when suitable, call the close_notification(state, id) (the frontend, will act accordingly).

[FredLL-Avaiga]

for test, yes, you're supposed to test every (reasonable) possibility
