I do a lot of custom widget work, and it feels like every time I go to setup Calcite Controls, I run through the same issues of trying to figure out how to get them to load.
Often, the issue is that it does appear in the DOM in source when you inspect it, but the visible parts do not appear on screen, in widget or over app anywhere. If I highlight over it in dom yu may see an outline of where it should be but it doesn't display (EXB 1.14 currently, btw)
I know I got these working in another project's widget, but what am I missing in the setup instructions to be able to see them work properly?
So here's what I was trying to do:
I wanted to explore the options for creating alert mechanisms in Experience builder for users. For example, when a save of an update to a feature occurs, or when an error occurs. These could appear inline or as a modal of some kind (the old JS way would be an alert box)
So I had three ideas I might use to do this:
1. have them appear inline with a link to dismiss that maybe you can ignore if you scroll past.
2. Have them appear in a modal that you must dismiss before moving on
3. Have them appear using CalciteCard instead of CalciteAlert
At the moment I get the buttons to fire them to work, I see them in the back end but I'm not seeing them on the widget itself below the buttons as you would expect. I've tried using CSS tricks to get it to change positioning to absolute high Z-index on top of the app, and that doesn't seem to help either.
Any ideas?
