dialog

Lightweight and accessible drop-in replacement for the built-in browser dialog methods alert, confirm and prompt.

Installing

using npm

npm install @devlop-ab/dialog

Usage

All methods are compatible with the standard dialog methods and accept the same arguments, plus an additional options argument to change basic dialog appearance and behaviour.

All methods returns a promise, so by using await we can mimic the built in behaviour of halting execution of the current function while waiting for the dialog response.

import { dialog } from '@devlop-ab/dialog';

// alert (no return value)
await dialog.alert('Hello world!');

// confirm (returns true or false)
const result = await dialog.confirm('Do you really want to leave?');

// prompt (returns string or null if cancelled)
const result = await dialog.prompt('Are you feeling lucky?', 'sure');

Dialog options

All dialog methods accept an (optional) options argument where you can do basic configuration changes.

See https://devlop.github.io/dialog for more examples.

// all options are optional
{
    'title': 'Title of the dialog',
    'okText': 'Yes',
    'cancelText': 'No',
    'focus': 'cancel',
}

// examples
await dialog.alert('I\'m afraid i can\'t do that Dave.', {
    'title': 'HAL',
});

const result = await dialog.confirm('Do you really want to leave?', {
    'okText': 'Yes', 
    'cancelText': 'No',
});

Styles

The javascript does not output any styles, you must include them in your css/sass build.

Using SASS

// importing the theme "sky".
@import '@devlop-ab/dialog/dist/css/sky.css';

See https://devlop.github.io/dialog for all available themes.

Using vanilla CSS

Copy the css file for the theme you want to use from node_modules/@devlop-ab/dialog/dist/css directory and put it with your other assets.

Customizing the CSS

Each theme exposes a plethora of css variables allowing you to change colors, fonts and padding without overriding any css selectors.

// importing using sass
@import '@devlop-ab/dialog/dist/css/sky.css';

[data-dialog] {
    --theme-color-hue: 310;
}

See https://devlop.github.io/dialog for all variables.
