Proposal : a time parameter for alert components

[monsieurmerle]

It would be interesting to have a time parameter for the alert component.

Input a value and when displayed, the alert disappears after the given amount of seconds. It could look like :

select 
     'alert' as component,
     'This is an alert' as title,
     'You have been alerted' as description,
     '5' as time;

I do not know if this is possible or how difficult to implement, but it would be very useful.

It would be great to have a temporary notification system ! I'm not a huge fan of layout jumps: if the user was reading something after the alert and the alert disappears, the entire text moves up and disrupts them. I think the best way to handle this use case is with a separate "toast" component. I'll prototype that

Having the message display over the rest of the layout would be even better indeed !
