Hi,

I used your lib successfully to configure wlan for a small project, very nice stuff, thanks.

Now I would like to use it for something else, where wifi is not necessary, just nice to have.

This means: I don't want the portal or wifi setup to block setup() or loop(), just setup wifi in setup() if config is available, else, if a button is pressed (or whatever other trigger) serve the wifi configuration portal in the background for some time, while the progam continues to do its usual job (in my case starting a fan if humidity is too high).

I have not fully understood the architecture of your lib, maybe this is already possible somehow, but if not: how about basically cutting out the while(1) loop out of startConfigPortal() as bool WiFiManager.handlePortal() where it returns false instead of yield() and true instead of break. Then I could call startConfigPortal() on request or in setup() and call handlePortal() in loop() without disturbing the more important stuff going on there.

There are several issues discussing this, this is not a forum for support, its for reporting issues.
Did you even search?
