Provided Components

Volt provides a few components to make web developers' lives easier.

Notices

Volt automatically places <:volt:notices /> into views. This component shows notices for the following:

1. flash messages
2. connection status (when a disconnect happens, lets the user know why and when a reconnect will be attempted)
3. code change reloading notices (in development mode)

Flash

As part of the notices component explained above, you can append messages to any collection on the flash model.

Each collection represents a different type of "flash". Common examples are _notices, _warnings, and _errors. Using different collections allows you to change how the flash is displayed. For example, you might want _notices and _errors to show with different colors.

flash._notices << "message to flash"

These messages will show for 5 seconds, then disappear (both from the screen and the collection).
