Gordon is a plugin that manages the display of error messages using pure JavaScript. It was inspired by Twitter's means of displaying the flash.
Install with Bower:
$ bower install gordonOr, clone down this repo and add gordon.js and gordon.css to the proper locations in your project.
Then, include the resources in the <head> of your page:
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet=" type="text/css" href="bower_components/gordon/gordon.css" />
<script src="bower_components/gordon/gordon.js"></script>
</head>Finally, instantiate the plugin with the ID of your element (default is "flash").
Make sure this is consistent with the id in your CSS:
var flash = new Gordon("flash");Gordon has three methods that can be used at any time in your JS code.
To display the flash with green, 14pt text...
flash.notice("message");To display the flash with red text at 16pt, slightly larger than the default format...
flash.alert("message");To display the flash with blue text at 16pt...
flash.info("message");This is also slightly larger, in order to denote special text that may require magnification
NOTE: You can opt to just display the last set status message by invoking the flash. methods without any arguments.
