ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
options.durationint | stringoptionalThe amount of time, in milliseconds, to show the message. The default is 0, which shows the message until Message.hide() is called. If you use a string, it will be parsed to a number. If you specify a duration both when you create the message and when you show it, the value when you show it (this parameter) takes precedence.
B mynt syntax

No Mynt syntax yet.

Nothing in the language compiles to Message.show(options) today. How should it read?

Write the Mynt you wish you could write.

A good proposal shows the syntax, the SuiteScript it should become, and argues for it: why it is clearer, how it fits the rest of the language, what it makes harder.

  • Clarity. Does it say what happens, without ceremony?
  • Consistency. Does it read like load, save and Ref[field]?
  • Expressiveness. Does it cover the cases people actually write?
  • Honesty. Does it hide a NetSuite cost, such as governance, that a reader should see?
