Persistent Popout #31
Description
I'm currently developing a chat application using reacjts (it is a plugin to a wordpress site), and I've implemented the ability to pop out a chat window from our main page using this component. The popout is created based off user action and it only contains the chat window they popped out, not the rest of the application.
The problem with this is that the application needs to pass data to and from that chat window, so there is still a connection to the rest of the site. When a user loads a new page on the site, the popout closes and this is something that we can't afford happening.
Is there any approach we can take to keep the popout open even if the user navigates away from the page that they were on when they loaded the popout? Would we have to load the whole react plugin into the popout window in order to avoid this happening? Or is there an easier approach to it?
