Add newline in Dialog Prompt

[cryptoKevinL]

I can't seem to get a newline into a snaps Dialog Prompt, should this work or do I have to use a new text() object in the panel for anytime I want a newline? my code:

Object.values(chatHistory).forEach(val => {
  if(address.toLowerCase() === val.fromaddr.toLowerCase()) { 
    convoBody += ' **' + from + ':** ' + val.message + '\n'
  } else {
    convoBody += ' **me:** ' + val.message + '\n'
  }
});
...
const diagResponse = await snap.request({
    method: 'snap_dialog',
    params: {
      type: 'prompt',
      content: panel([heading('New Message From: ' + from), text(convoBody)]),
      placeholder: 'Enter response to message here...',
    },
});

my result:

I wanted to build my panel programmatically, hopefully it can be done still? Maybe I just need to build the union of objects to put in the panel() call, but I tried a few times and my syntax was bad maybe.

There's no newline character, you would have to use a new text() container for each line

Thanks, do you have an example or do you know how to add text() containers in pieces to an object to pass to panel()?

I tried things like this without success:

let objContainer = [text("hello")]
objContainer.push(text("world"))
...
content: panel(objContainer),

Yes, this is exactly how you would do it. Can you link to your full code on GitHub?

Just FYI, here's an example code from the MobyMask snap:

export const onTransaction: OnTransactionHandler = async ({ transaction }) => {
  const insights = await getInsights(transaction); 
  const titles = Object.keys(insights); 
  let arr = []; 
  for(var i=0;i<titles.length;i++) { 
    arr.push(heading(titles[i])); 
    arr.push(text(insights[titles[i]])); 
  }

  return {
    content: panel(arr)
  };
};

You should be able to push to an array and then put that in a panel...

ok, it works now. I think I was just tired last night :)

Last question, any way to auto scroll to bottom in a dialog prompt? We might just show the last 5 or 6 messages so this may be a non-issue, but wanted to ask in case.
