# Floating Banner System
## Overview
The Floating Banner system provides a comprehensive solution for displaying temporary notifications, alerts, and messages in the Mattermost mobile application. It consists of multiple components working together to deliver a smooth, accessible, and highly customizable banner experience.

## Component Architecture
### 1. BannerManager (Singleton)
**Purpose**: Central controller for banner lifecycle management
```mermaid
stateDiagram-v2
[*] --> Hidden: Initial State
Hidden --> Showing: showBanner()
Showing --> AutoHiding: showBannerWithAutoHide()
Showing --> Hidden: hideBanner(bannerId) / User Dismiss
AutoHiding --> Hidden: Timeout Expires
AutoHiding --> Hidden: hideBanner(bannerId) / User Dismiss
Hidden --> [*]: cleanup()
Showing --> [*]: cleanup()
AutoHiding --> [*]: cleanup()
```
**Key Features**:
- Singleton pattern with support for multiple stacked banners in a single overlay
- Per-banner auto-hide timers for independent timeout management
- **Promise-chain queue system** to prevent race conditions (replaces previous UpdateState enum)
- 2-second overlay dismiss delay to prevent flickering during rapid banner changes
- Overlay system integration with `Navigation.updateProps` for efficient updates
- Error handling for dismiss callbacks
- State tracking (active banners array, overlay visibility, individual timers)
- **Required `bannerId` parameter** for `hideBanner()` to prevent accidental cross-system interference
**Android Limitation**:
- On Android, when both top AND bottom banners are displayed simultaneously, only ONE GestureHandlerRootView can properly register touch events
- iOS works correctly with simultaneous top/bottom banners
- Workaround not yet implemented - future enhancement may add banner position prioritization on Android
### 2. FloatingBanner Component
**Purpose**: Main rendering component that splits banners by position and delegates to BannerSection
```mermaid
flowchart TD
FB[FloatingBanner] --> CHECK{Banners exist?}
CHECK -->|No| NULL[Return null]
CHECK -->|Yes| SPLIT[Split by position]
SPLIT --> TOP[Top Banners]
SPLIT --> BOTTOM[Bottom Banners]
TOP --> BSTOP[BannerSection 'top']
BOTTOM --> BSBOTTOM[BannerSection 'bottom']
BSTOP --> GHRTOP[GestureHandlerRootView<br/>positioned at top]
BSBOTTOM --> GHRBOTTOM[GestureHandlerRootView<br/>positioned at bottom]
GHRTOP --> ABTOP[AnimatedBannerItem<br/>Components]
GHRBOTTOM --> ABBOTTOM[AnimatedBannerItem<br/>Components]
ABTOP --> CONTENT[Banner Content]
ABBOTTOM --> CONTENT
CONTENT --> BI[BannerItem]
CONTENT --> CUSTOM[Custom Content]
```
### 3. BannerSection Component
**Purpose**: Positions and sizes the GestureHandlerRootView for a banner section (top or bottom)
**Key Features**:
- Creates a `GestureHandlerRootView` for each section (top/bottom)
- Uses `useBannerGestureRootPosition` hook for platform-specific positioning
- Calculates container height based on number of banners
- Applies safe area insets for top banners
- Handles keyboard adjustments (iOS only)
- Returns `null` when no banners in section
```mermaid
graph LR
subgraph "BannerSection Features"
POS["Position Calculation<br/>• useBannerGestureRootPosition hook<br/>• Container height calculation<br/>• Safe area insets (top only)<br/>• Keyboard-aware (iOS)"]
GESTURE["Gesture Root<br/>• GestureHandlerRootView<br/>• pointerEvents='box-none'<br/>• Positioned absolutely"]
RENDER["Banner Rendering<br/>• AnimatedBannerItem per banner<br/>• Swipe to dismiss gestures<br/>• Stacked with spacing"]
end
POS --> GESTURE
GESTURE --> RENDER
```
### 4. useBannerGestureRootPosition Hook
**Purpose**: Calculates positioning and sizing for GestureHandlerRootView based on platform, device type, and keyboard state
**Key Features**:
- Platform-specific bottom offsets (Android vs iOS)
- Tablet-specific width constraints (96% of available width after sidebar)
- Keyboard-aware positioning (iOS dynamically adjusts, Android uses fixed offset)
- Memoized for performance
- Exports `BANNER_TABLET_WIDTH_PERCENTAGE` constant via `testExports`
## Data Flow

Note over BM: Prevents flickering on rapid changes
BM->>Overlay: dismissOverlay()
BM->>BM: overlayVisible = false
else Other banners remain
BM->>Overlay: Navigation.updateProps(remaining banners)
end
```
### Network Connectivity Integration
```mermaid

NCM->>BM: hideBanner()
end
```
## API Reference
### BannerConfig Interface
```typescript
interface BannerConfig {
id: string; // Unique identifier
title: string; // Banner title text
message: string; // Banner message text
type?: 'info' | 'success' | 'warning' | 'error'; // Visual styling
dismissible?: boolean; // Can user dismiss (default: true)
autoHideDuration?: number; // Auto-hide timeout in ms
position?: 'top' | 'bottom'; // Screen position (default: 'top')
onPress?: () => void; // Tap handler
onDismiss?: () => void; // Dismiss handler
customComponent?: ReactNode; // Custom banner component
}
```
### BannerManager API
```typescript
class BannerManager {
// Show banner immediately (stacks with existing banners)
showBanner(config: BannerConfig): void;
// Show banner with auto-hide (per-banner timer)
showBannerWithAutoHide(config: BannerConfig, durationMs?: number): void;
// Hide specific banner by ID (required to prevent accidental cross-system interference)
hideBanner(bannerId: string): void;
// Hide all banners at once
hideAllBanners(): void;
// Clean up all timeouts and state
cleanup(): void;
// Get most recently added banner ID
getCurrentBannerId(): string | null;
// Check if any banner is visible
isBannerVisible(): boolean;
}
```
### Internal State Management
```typescript
private activeBanners: FloatingBannerConfig[] = []; // Array of active banners
private overlayVisible = false; // Tracks overlay state
private autoHideTimers: Map<string, NodeJS.Timeout> = new Map(); // Per-banner timers
private updateQueue: Promise<void> = Promise.resolve(); // Promise-chain queue
private dismissOverlayTimer: NodeJS.Timeout | null = null; // 2s dismiss delay
private dismissOverlayResolve: (() => void) | null = null; // Delay cancellation
```
**Note**: The previous `UpdateState` enum has been replaced with a promise-chain queue system for better handling of concurrent updates.
## Usage Patterns
### 1. Basic Banner Display
```typescript
import {BannerManager} from '@managers/banner_manager';
// Simple info banner
BannerManager.showBanner({
id: 'welcome-message',
title: 'Welcome!',
message: 'Thanks for using Mattermost',
type: 'success'
});
```
### 2. Auto-hiding Banner
```typescript
// Show banner for 3 seconds (with per-banner timer)
BannerManager.showBannerWithAutoHide({
id: 'temp-notification',
title: 'Message Sent',
message: 'Your message was delivered successfully',
type: 'success'
}, 3000);
// Multiple auto-hide banners work independently
BannerManager.showBannerWithAutoHide({
id: 'banner-1',
title: 'First',
message: 'Auto-hides in 5s',
type: 'info'
}, 5000);
BannerManager.showBannerWithAutoHide({
id: 'banner-2',
title: 'Second',
message: 'Auto-hides in 3s',
type: 'success'
}, 3000);
// Both banners stack and auto-hide independently
```
### 3. Network Status Banner
```typescript
// In NetworkConnectivityManager
private showDisconnectedBanner() {
BannerManager.showBanner({
id: 'network-disconnected',
title: 'No Connection',
message: 'Check your internet connection',
type: 'error',
position: 'bottom',
customComponent: (
<ConnectionBanner
isConnected={false}
message="No internet connection"
dismissible={true}
onDismiss={() => this.handleBannerDismiss()}
/>
)
});
}
```
### 4. Custom Component Banner
```typescript
// Custom banner with complex content
BannerManager.showBanner({
id: 'custom-banner',
title: 'Custom',
message: 'Custom message',
customComponent: (
<View style={styles.customBanner}>
<Text>Custom banner content</Text>
<Button title="Action" onPress={handleAction} />
</View>
),
dismissible: true,
onDismiss: () => console.log('Custom banner dismissed')
});
```
### 5. Hiding Specific Banners
```typescript
// Hide a specific banner by ID (required parameter)
BannerManager.hideBanner('banner-1');
// Hide all banners at once
BannerManager.hideAllBanners();
// Check if any banner is visible
if (BannerManager.isBannerVisible()) {
console.log('Current banner:', BannerManager.getCurrentBannerId());
}
```
## Configuration & Positioning
### GestureHandlerRootView Positioning System
The system uses a **two-level positioning architecture**:
1. **BannerSection Level**: Creates a `GestureHandlerRootView` for each position (top/bottom) and positions it using the `useBannerGestureRootPosition` hook
2. **AnimatedBannerItem Level**: Individual banners within each section are positioned using absolutely positioned `Animated.View` wrappers
```typescript
// BannerSection calculates container height
const containerHeight = useMemo(() => {
const numBanners = sectionBanners.length;
const spacing = (numBanners - 1) * BANNER_SPACING;
return (BANNER_HEIGHT * numBanners) + spacing;
}, [sectionBanners.length]);
// useBannerGestureRootPosition returns positioning for the GestureHandlerRootView
const gestureRootStyle = useBannerGestureRootPosition({
position,
containerHeight,
});
// Returns: {height, top: 0} for top or {height, bottom: offset} for bottom
// Plus tablet-specific: {maxWidth, alignSelf: 'center'}
```
### AnimatedBannerItem Stacking
Within each `BannerSection`, banners stack with `AnimatedBannerItem` wrappers:
```typescript
// Each banner gets an absolutely positioned wrapper
// Top banners stack from top: insets.top + (index * (BANNER_HEIGHT + BANNER_SPACING))
// Bottom banners stack from bottom: 0 + (index * (BANNER_HEIGHT + BANNER_SPACING))
```
### Stacking Behavior
Multiple banners stack with consistent 8px spacing (`BANNER_SPACING` constant), managed by `AnimatedBannerItem` components in `FloatingBanner`.
### Constants
```typescript
// Banner dimensions and spacing (from @constants/view)
const CHANNEL_BANNER_HEIGHT = 40; // Height of each banner (px)
const BANNER_SPACING = 8; // Spacing between stacked banners (px)
// Bottom positioning offsets (from @constants/view)
const FLOATING_BANNER_BOTTOM_OFFSET_PHONE_IOS = 105;
const FLOATING_BANNER_BOTTOM_OFFSET_PHONE_ANDROID = 90;
const FLOATING_BANNER_BOTTOM_OFFSET_WITH_KEYBOARD_IOS = 70;
const FLOATING_BANNER_BOTTOM_OFFSET_WITH_KEYBOARD_ANDROID = 80;
const FLOATING_BANNER_TABLET_EXTRA_BOTTOM_OFFSET = 60;
// Tablet layout (from useBannerGestureRootPosition hook)
const BANNER_TABLET_WIDTH_PERCENTAGE = 96; // Tablets use 96% of available width
const TABLET_SIDEBAR_WIDTH = 320; // From @constants/view
// BannerManager timing (from @managers/banner_manager)
const TIME_TO_CLOSE = 5000; // Default auto-hide duration (ms)
const OVERLAY_DISMISS_DELAY = 2000; // 2s delay before dismissing overlay (ms)
```
## Animation System
### Fade & Slide Animations
```typescript
// Entry animation
opacity: withTiming(visible ? 1 : 0, {duration: 300})
translateY: withTiming(visible ? 0 : slideOffset, {duration: 300})
// Dismiss animation (swipe)
translateX: withTiming(dismissed ? (swipeDirection > 0 ? 300 : -300) : 0, {duration: 200})
opacity: withTiming(dismissed ? 0 : 1, {duration: 200})
```
### Keyboard Adjustments
```typescript
// iOS keyboard adjustment for bottom banners
const animatedStyle = useAnimatedStyle(() => ({
bottom: Platform.OS === 'ios' ?
withTiming(baseBottomOffset + keyboardHeight, {duration: 250}) :
baseBottomOffset
}));
```
## Gesture System
### Swipe to Dismiss
```mermaid
stateDiagram-v2
[*] --> Idle: Banner Rendered
Idle --> Tracking: Pan Gesture Start
Tracking --> Tracking: Pan Update<br/>translateX = startX + translation
Tracking --> Evaluating: Pan End
Evaluating --> Dismissing: |translateX| > threshold
Evaluating --> Returning: |translateX| <= threshold
Dismissing --> [*]: Banner Dismissed<br/>onDismiss() called
Returning --> Idle: Spring back to center
```
## Banner Stacking & Animation System
### Multiple Banner Layout
The FloatingBanner component now implements a **wrapper-based positioning** system that properly stacks multiple banners:
```mermaid
graph TB
FB[FloatingBanner] --> TOP[Top Banner Section]
FB --> BOTTOM[Bottom Banner Section]
TOP --> T1[AnimatedBannerItem 1<br/>Animated.View wrapper<br/>position: absolute<br/>top: baseOffset + 0 * 48]
TOP --> T2[AnimatedBannerItem 2<br/>Animated.View wrapper<br/>position: absolute<br/>top: baseOffset + 1 * 48]
TOP --> T3[AnimatedBannerItem 3<br/>Animated.View wrapper<br/>position: absolute<br/>top: baseOffset + 2 * 48]
BOTTOM --> B1[AnimatedBannerItem 1<br/>Animated.View wrapper<br/>position: absolute<br/>bottom: baseOffset + 0 * 48]
BOTTOM --> B2[AnimatedBannerItem 2<br/>Animated.View wrapper<br/>position: absolute<br/>bottom: baseOffset + 1 * 48]
BOTTOM --> B3[AnimatedBannerItem 3<br/>Animated.View wrapper<br/>position: absolute<br/>bottom: baseOffset + 2 * 48]
T1 --> Banner1[Banner Component<br/>position: relative]
T2 --> Banner2[Banner Component<br/>position: relative]
T3 --> Banner3[Banner Component<br/>position: relative]
B1 --> Banner4[Banner Component<br/>position: relative]
B2 --> Banner5[Banner Component<br/>position: relative]
B3 --> Banner6[Banner Component<br/>position: relative]
```
### Stacking Implementation
Each banner is wrapped in an absolutely positioned `Animated.View` that handles:
- **Position calculation**: `baseOffset + (index * (CHANNEL_BANNER_HEIGHT + BANNER_SPACING))`
- **Smooth animations**: Position changes animate with `withTiming({duration: 250})`
- **Consistent spacing**: 8px gap between each banner (using `BANNER_SPACING` constant)
```typescript
// Both top and bottom start with base spacing
let baseOffset = BANNER_SPACING; // 8px
// Top banners add safe area and header heights
if (isTop) {
baseOffset += insets.top;
if (isTablet) {
baseOffset += TABLET_HEADER_HEIGHT;
} else {
baseOffset += DEFAULT_HEADER_HEIGHT;
}
}
// Calculate final stacked position
const stackOffset = baseOffset + (index * (CHANNEL_BANNER_HEIGHT + BANNER_SPACING));
// Animation
const animatedPositionStyle = useAnimatedStyle(() => {
return isTop ?
{top: withTiming(stackOffset, {duration: 250})} :
{bottom: withTiming(stackOffset, {duration: 250})};
}, [stackOffset, isTop]);
```
```typescript
const swipeGesture = Gesture.Pan()
.onStart(() => startX.value = translateX.value)
.onUpdate((event) => {
if (dismissible) {
translateX.value = startX.value + event.translationX;
}
})
.onEnd(() => {
const shouldDismiss = Math.abs(translateX.value) > swipeThreshold;
if (shouldDismiss && dismissible) {
// Animate out and dismiss
translateX.value = withTiming(translateX.value > 0 ? 300 : -300);
opacity.value = withTiming(0);
runOnJS(onDismiss)();
} else {
// Spring back to center
translateX.value = withTiming(0);
}
});
```
## Error Handling
### Graceful Degradation
```typescript
// BannerManager error handling in removeBannerFromList
private removeBannerFromList(bannerId: string) {
const bannerIndex = this.activeBanners.findIndex((b) => b.id === bannerId);
if (bannerIndex >= 0) {
const banner = this.activeBanners[bannerIndex];
this.activeBanners.splice(bannerIndex, 1);
this.clearBannerTimer(bannerId);
if (banner.onDismiss) {
try {
banner.onDismiss();
} catch {
// Silent catch to ensure cleanup still runs
}
}
}
}
```
### Concurrent Update Management
```typescript
// Promise-chain queue prevents race conditions
private updateOverlay() {
this.updateQueue = this.updateQueue.then(async () => {
// All updates execute sequentially in order
if (!this.activeBanners.length) {
// Handle empty banner list...
return;
}
// Update overlay with current banners...
if (this.overlayVisible) {
Navigation.updateProps(FLOATING_BANNER_OVERLAY_ID, {
banners: bannersWithDismissProps,
onDismiss: handleDismiss,
});
} else {
showOverlay(/* ... */);
this.overlayVisible = true;
}
});
}
```
**Benefits of Promise-Chain Queue**:
- Simpler implementation than state machine
- Automatic sequential execution
- Each update waits for previous one to complete
- No risk of race conditions when showing/hiding rapidly
### Dismiss Delay Cancellation
```typescript
// Cancel overlay dismiss when new banner is added during delay
private cancelDismissOverlay() {
if (this.dismissOverlayTimer) {
clearTimeout(this.dismissOverlayTimer);
this.dismissOverlayTimer = null;
}
// Resolve the pending Promise to unblock the queue
if (this.dismissOverlayResolve) {
this.dismissOverlayResolve();
this.dismissOverlayResolve = null;
}
}
```
### Last Banner Immediate Dismissal
When the last banner is removed, the overlay is immediately updated with an empty banner list to clear the UI, then waits 2 seconds before dismounting the overlay container:
```typescript
private async updateOverlay() {
// ... state management ...
try {
if (!this.activeBanners.length) {
if (this.overlayVisible) {
// Immediately clear UI by updating with empty array
Navigation.updateProps(FLOATING_BANNER_OVERLAY_ID, {
banners: [],
onDismiss: () => {
// No-op: no banners to dismiss
},
});
// Wait 2 seconds before dismounting overlay
await new Promise<void>((resolve) => {
this.dismissOverlayResolve = resolve;
this.dismissOverlayTimer = setTimeout(() => {
this.dismissOverlayResolve = null;
resolve();
}, OVERLAY_DISMISS_DELAY);
});
// Dismiss overlay container
if (!this.activeBanners.length && this.overlayVisible) {
await dismissOverlay(FLOATING_BANNER_OVERLAY_ID);
this.overlayVisible = false;
}
this.dismissOverlayTimer = null;
}
return;
}
// ... rest of update logic ...
}
}
```
This approach ensures:
- ✅ Last banner disappears from screen immediately
- ✅ Overlay container stays mounted for 2 seconds
- ✅ Prevents flickering if new banner appears during delay
- ✅ Maintains smooth UX for auto-hide scenarios

### Test Utilities
```typescript
// Mock banner configuration
const createMockBanner = (overrides = {}): BannerConfig => ({
id: 'test-banner-1',
title: 'Test Banner',
message: 'This is a test message',
type: 'info',
dismissible: true,
...overrides,
});
// Manual timer control for testing async behavior
let timeoutId = 0;
type TimeoutCallback = () => void;
const timeoutCallbacks = new Map<number, TimeoutCallback>();
const mockSetTimeout = jest.spyOn(global, 'setTimeout')
.mockImplementation((cb: TimeoutCallback) => {
timeoutId++;
timeoutCallbacks.set(timeoutId, cb);
return timeoutId as unknown as NodeJS.Timeout;
});
const runAllTimers = () => {
const callbacks = Array.from(timeoutCallbacks.values());
timeoutCallbacks.clear();
callbacks.forEach((cb) => cb());
};
// Test concurrent updates with proper async handling
runAllTimers();
await Promise.resolve();
runAllTimers();
await Promise.resolve();
```
## Performance Considerations
### Memory Management
- Automatic per-banner timeout cleanup prevents memory leaks
- Map-based timer storage for efficient lookup and cleanup
- Singleton pattern reduces object creation
- Component memoization where appropriate
- 2-second dismiss delay prevents unnecessary overlay recreation
### Animation Performance
- Uses React Native Reanimated for 60fps animations
- Leverages native driver for smooth transitions
- Minimal re-renders through proper state management
### Gesture Performance
- React Native Gesture Handler for native gesture processing
- Optimized pan gesture handling
- Threshold-based dismiss logic
## Integration Points
### Network Connectivity
```typescript
// NetworkConnectivityManager integration
private updateBanner() {
if (this.handleDisconnectedState()) return;
if (this.handlePerformanceState()) return;
if (this.handleConnectingState()) return;
if (this.handleReconnectionState()) return;
this.handleConnectedState();
}
```
### App Initialization
```typescript
// App startup integration
export async function initialize() {
// ... other initialization
NetworkConnectivityManager.init(activeServerUrl || null);
}
```
### Navigation System
```typescript
// Overlay system integration
showOverlay(
Screens.FLOATING_BANNER,
{banners: [configWithDismiss], onDismiss},
{overlay: {interceptTouchOutside: false}},
FLOATING_BANNER_OVERLAY_ID
);
```
## Best Practices
### 1. Banner Design
- Keep messages concise and actionable
- Use appropriate banner types (info, success, warning, error)
- Provide clear dismiss mechanisms
- Consider auto-hide for temporary messages
### 2. Timing
- Auto-hide success messages after 3-5 seconds
- Keep error messages visible until user dismisses
- Avoid banner spam with proper state management
### 3. Accessibility
- Ensure proper contrast ratios
- Provide meaningful text for screen readers
- Support keyboard navigation
- Test with assistive technologies
### 4. Performance
- Minimize banner content complexity
- Use custom content sparingly
- Clean up timeouts and listeners
- Test on lower-end devices
## Architecture Highlights
### Multi-Banner System ✅
The BannerManager now implements a robust multi-banner architecture:
- **Single overlay instance** - Only one floating-banner overlay exists, with visibility tracked by `overlayVisible` state
- **Banner stack management** - `activeBanners[]` array manages multiple concurrent banners
- **Efficient updates** - Uses `Navigation.updateProps()` to update existing overlay instead of recreating it
- **Individual auto-hide timers** - Each banner has its own timer stored in a `Map<string, NodeJS.Timeout>`
- **Race condition prevention** - Queue system with `UpdateState` enum handles concurrent calls
- **Flicker prevention** - 2-second delay before dismissing empty overlay prevents rapid dismiss/recreate cycles
#### Real-World Example
```
1. Low connectivity banner (bottom) → activeBanners: [connectivityBanner]
→ showOverlay()
2. Calls banner (top) added → activeBanners: [connectivityBanner, callsBanner]
→ Navigation.updateProps()
3. Connectivity banner auto-hides → activeBanners: [callsBanner]
→ Navigation.updateProps()
4. Calls banner dismissed → activeBanners: []
→ Wait 2s
→ dismissOverlay()
```
This architecture eliminates race conditions and efficiently manages multiple concurrent banners.
## Future Enhancements
### Potential Improvements
Future enhancements could include:
- **Priority-based banner ordering** - Allow banners to specify display priority
- **Banner queuing** - Queue banners when too many are shown simultaneously
- **Animation customization** - Per-banner animation configurations
- **Action buttons** - Built-in support for action buttons in BannerItem
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
1. **Banner not showing**:
- Check `BannerManager.isBannerVisible()` to see if banners exist
- Verify overlay system is initialized
- Ensure banner config is valid
- Check if banner has a unique ID
2. **Last banner takes 2 seconds to disappear**:
-**Fixed**: The overlay now updates with an empty array immediately when the last banner is removed
- The 2-second delay only applies to dismounting the overlay container (prevents flickering)
- Banners should disappear from screen instantly when dismissed or auto-hidden
3. **Multiple banners stacking properly**:
-**Fixed**: Implemented wrapper-based positioning system
- Each banner is wrapped in an absolutely positioned `Animated.View`
- Banners animate smoothly when others are added/removed with 250ms transitions
- Consistent 8px spacing between all banners
4. **Animation glitches**:
- Check React Native Reanimated setup
- Verify gesture handler configuration
- Test on physical devices
5. **Positioning issues**:
- Verify safe area context is available
- Check header height calculations
- Test on different screen sizes
6. **Memory leaks**:
- Ensure cleanup() is called on unmount
- Check per-banner timeout management
- Verify callback cleanup in error handlers
### Debug Tools
```typescript
// Check current banner state
console.log('Banner state:', {
isVisible: BannerManager.isBannerVisible(),
currentId: BannerManager.getCurrentBannerId(),
// Note: activeBanners array is private, use multiple showBanner calls to test stacking
});
// Test single banner
BannerManager.showBanner({
id: 'debug-banner',
title: 'Debug',
message: 'Testing positioning',
type: 'info' as const
});
// Test banner stacking (currently has positioning issues)
BannerManager.showBanner({
id: 'debug-banner-1',
title: 'First',
message: 'First banner',
type: 'info',
position: 'bottom'
});
BannerManager.showBanner({
id: 'debug-banner-2',
title: 'Second',
message: 'Second banner',
type: 'success',
position: 'bottom'
});
// Test auto-hide with independent timers
BannerManager.showBannerWithAutoHide({
id: 'auto-1',
title: 'Auto Hide 1',
message: 'Hides in 3s',
type: 'info'
}, 3000);
BannerManager.showBannerWithAutoHide({
id: 'auto-2',
title: 'Auto Hide 2',
message: 'Hides in 5s',
type: 'success'
}, 5000);
```

## Recent Improvements
### Major Architecture Updates (Current Release)
**1. New `BannerSection` Component & `useBannerGestureRootPosition` Hook**
- ✅ Created `BannerSection` component to manage `GestureHandlerRootView` positioning
- ✅ Extracted positioning logic into `useBannerGestureRootPosition` hook
- ✅ Proper separation of concerns: positioning vs rendering
- ✅ Platform-specific handling (iOS keyboard-aware, Android fixed offsets)
- ✅ Tablet-specific width constraints (96% of available width)
-**100% test coverage** for both components (5 tests + 13 tests)
**2. Promise-Chain Queue System**
- ✅ Replaced `UpdateState` enum with promise-chain queue
- ✅ Simpler implementation: `this.updateQueue = this.updateQueue.then(async () => {...})`
- ✅ Automatic sequential execution prevents race conditions
- ✅ No complex state machine logic needed
- ✅ Better handling of rapid banner show/hide operations
**3. Required `bannerId` Parameter for `hideBanner()`**
- ✅ Changed from `hideBanner(bannerId?: string)` to `hideBanner(bannerId: string)`
- ✅ Prevents accidental cross-system interference
- ✅ Forces explicit banner management
- ✅ Added `hideAllBanners()` method for clearing all banners
- ✅ Updated all tests to pass specific `bannerId`
**4. Android Gesture Limitation Documentation**
- ✅ Accurately documented Android limitation with multiple `GestureHandlerRootView` instances
- ✅ Clarified that iOS works correctly, Android may have gesture issues when both top/bottom banners exist
- ✅ Documented potential workaround (not yet implemented)
- ✅ Transparent about current behavior for future developers
**5. Test Architecture Improvements**
- ✅ Separated component tests from positioning logic tests
-`banner_section.test.tsx` focuses on component behavior (5 tests)
-`useBannerGestureRootPosition.test.ts` focuses on positioning calculations (13 tests)
- ✅ Removed implementation detail tests (e.g., testing mock behavior)
- ✅ Used `testExports` pattern for sharing constants with tests
- ✅ All tests follow "test behavior, not implementation" principle
### Previous Code Quality & Simplification
**1. Removed `useBannerPosition` Hook**
- ✅ Eliminated unnecessary abstraction layer
- ✅ Hook was only returning `{top: 0}` or `{bottom: 0}` with no actual positioning logic
- ✅ All positioning now handled by `useBannerGestureRootPosition` hook
**2. Moved Constants to Centralized Location**
- ✅ Created `BANNER_SPACING = 8` constant in `@constants/view`
- ✅ All view-related measurements now in one discoverable location
-`BANNER_TABLET_WIDTH_PERCENTAGE` exported via `testExports` from hook
### Architecture Achievements
This comprehensive floating banner system provides:
**100% test coverage** across all components
**Efficient multi-banner management** with single overlay instance
**Race condition prevention** with queue system
**Smooth animations** with 250ms timing for position changes
**Immediate UI updates** when last banner dismissed (2s delay only for overlay dismount)
**Wrapper-based positioning** for proper banner stacking
**Consistent 8px spacing** between all banners
**Clean, maintainable codebase** with centralized constants
**Excellent performance** across device types and usage scenarios
