Alert

Ask a question, get an answer

Blocks until the person taps something, then returns the index of the action they chose, or -1 if dismissed. In-app only: a widget cannot present anything and the call fails at once. Check isAvailable.

Properties

isAvailableBoolean

False in a widget.

Methods

Alert.present(title, message?, actions?)Number

A modal alert. Actions default to ["OK"]. Returns the tapped index.

title String required
message String
actions [String]

Alert.sheet(title, message?, actions?)Number

The same as an action sheet. The last action is treated as the cancel one.

title String required
message String
actions [String]

Examples

Confirming

var choice = Alert.present("Delete?", "This cannot be undone.", ["Delete", "Cancel"]);
if (choice === 0) { Storage.delete("draft"); }
