Sweet Alert – A sleek replacement for java script “ALERT” function
Pretty cool huh? SweetAlert automatically centers itself on the page and looks great no matter if you’re using a desktop computer, mobile or tablet. It’s even highly customizable, as you can see below
CONFIGURATION
Here are the keys that you can use if you pass an object into sweetAlert:
|
Â
Argument |
Default value |
Â
Description |
|---|---|---|
| title | null (required) | The title of the modal. It can either be added to the object under the key “title” or passed as the first parameter of the function. |
| text | null | A description for the modal. It can either be added to the object under the key “text” or passed as the second parameter of the function. |
| type | null | The type of the modal. SweetAlert comes with 4 built-in types which will show a corresponding icon animation: “warning“, “error“, “success” and “info”. You can also set it as “input” to get a prompt modal. It can either be put in the object under the key “type” or passed as the third parameter of the function. |
| allowEscapeKey | true | If set to true, the user can dismiss the modal by pressing the Escape key. |
| customClass | null | A custom CSS class for the modal. It can be added to the object under the key “customClass”. |
| allowOutsideClick | false | If set to true, the user can dismiss the modal by clicking outside it. |
| showCancelButton | false | If set to true, a “Cancel”-button will be shown, which the user can click on to dismiss the modal. |
| showConfirmButton | true | If set to false, the “OK/Confirm”-button will be hidden. Make sure you set a timer or set allowOutsideClick to true when using this, in order not to annoy the user. |
| confirmButtonText | “OK” | Use this to change the text on the “Confirm”-button. If showCancelButton is set as true, the confirm button will automatically show “Confirm” instead of “OK”. |
| confirmButtonColor | “#AEDEF4” | Use this to change the background color of the “Confirm”-button (must be a HEX value). |
| cancelButtonText | “Cancel” | Use this to change the text on the “Cancel”-button. |
| closeOnConfirm | true | Set to false if you want the modal to stay open even if the user presses the “Confirm”-button. This is especially useful if the function attached to the “Confirm”-button is another SweetAlert. |
| closeOnCancel | true | Same as closeOnConfirm, but for the cancel button. |
| imageUrl | null | Add a customized icon for the modal. Should contain a string with the path to the image. |
| imageSize | “80×80” | If imageUrl is set, you can specify imageSize to describes how big you want the icon to be in px. Pass in a string with two values separated by an “x”. The first value is the width, the second is the height. |
| timer | null | Auto close timer of the modal. Set in ms (milliseconds). |
| html | false | If set to true, will not escape title and text parameters. (Set to false if you’re worried about XSS attacks.) |
| animation | true | If set to false, the modal’s animation will be disabled. Possible (string) values : pop (default when animation set to true), slide-from-top, slide-from-bottom |
| inputType | “text” | Change the type of the input field when using type: “input” (this can be useful if you want users to type in their password for example). |
| inputPlaceholder | null | When using the input-type, you can specify a placeholder to help the user. |
| inputValue | null | Specify a default text value that you want your input to show when using type: “input” |
| showLoaderOnConfirm | false | Set to true to disable the buttons and show that something is loading. |
METHODS
SweetAlert also comes with some simple methods that you can call:
|
Â
Function |
Example |
Â
Description |
|---|---|---|
| setDefaults | swal.setDefaults({ confirmButtonColor: ‘#0000’ }); | If you end up using a lot of the same settings when calling SweetAlert, you can use setDefaults at the start of your program to set them once and for all! |
| close | swal.close(); | Close the currently open SweetAlert programatically. |
| showInputError | swal.showInputError(“Invalid email!”); | Show an error message after validating the input field, if the user’s data is bad |
| enableButtons, disableButtons | swal.disableButtons(); | Disable or enable the user to click on the cancel and confirm buttons. |
