How to timeout flash messages in rails

Question

I currently have standard flash messages with the devise gem for success/failure etc. I have added the option to manually close the message with some bootstrap functionality vi

Answer 1

1. Ensure that your div has an alert class.
2. Add the following code in your application.js or other .js file:

$(document).on('turbolinks:load', function() {
  setTimeout(function() {
    $('.alert').fadeOut();
  }, 3000);
})

3. Watch it go away.
