Anyone know of a way to update a

un/message

message without creating a new instance?

nope always just created a new instance... curious why that isn't an option for you?

^^ I think is when there is no duration, to prevent multiple from showing at a time probably not optimal implementation, but have used something like this in the past: can create single instance of

MessageManager

and then update shown message as needed

i mean you can ensure only one message at time by just doing

oldMessage.hide();

newMessage.show();

which i guess is what your solution does, but I've only ever need a few different messages so never made a generic solution like this

true, but yah I think my past usecase was like multiple client script button functions with various messages, so keeping track of the various different Message instances wasn't so practical - so just scoped to singular manager I guess to answer original question, I think does require creating new instances one way or another like you mentioned

I'd like to use the same instance to show the status of a running task. The NS message fades, so it's a bit distracting. Not a huge deal for me because I'm not staring at it, but it is what it is

theoretically you could overwrite the hideAlert function that is going on behind the scenes to set fadeOut to 0 or have used https://sweetalert2.github.io/#examples I believe is compatible with NS , probably not worth the effort though 😅

Yeah, at this point it's not worth the effort lol

I did something like this on our script. stored the message obj to a global variable since I figured its all stored in a client.
