SweetAlert
An awesome replacement for JavaScript's alert.
Usage
You can install SweetAlert through bower:
bower install sweetalert
Or through npm:
npm install sweetalert
Alternatively, download the package and reference the JavaScript and CSS files manually:
<script src="dist/sweetalert.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="dist/sweetalert.css">
Note: If you're using an older version than v1.0.0, the files are lib/sweet-alert.min.js
and lib/sweet-alert.css
Tutorial
The easiest way to get started is follow the SweetAlert tutorial on Ludu!
Examples
The most basic message:
swal("Hello world!");
A message signaling an error:
swal("Oops...", "Something went wrong!", "error");
A warning message, with a function attached to the "Confirm"-button:
swal({
title: "Are you sure?",
text: "You will not be able to recover this imaginary file!",
type: "warning",
showCancelButton: true,
confirmButtonColor: "#DD6B55",
confirmButtonText: "Yes, delete it!",
closeOnConfirm: false,
html: false
}, function(){
swal("Deleted!",
"Your imaginary file has been deleted.",
"success");
});
A prompt modal where the user's input is logged:
swal({
title: "An input!",
text: 'Write something interesting:',
type: 'input',
showCancelButton: true,
closeOnConfirm: false,
animation: "slide-from-top"
}, function(inputValue){
console.log("You wrote", inputValue);
});
Ajax request example:
swal({
title: 'Ajax request example',
text: 'Submit to run ajax request',
type: 'info',
showCancelButton: true,
closeOnConfirm: false,
disableButtonsOnConfirm: true,
confirmLoadingButtonColor: '#DD6B55'
}, function(inputValue){
setTimeout(function() {
swal('Ajax request finished!');
}, 2000);
});
Themes
SweetAlert can easily be themed to fit your site's design. SweetAlert comes with three example themes that you can try out: facebook, twitter and google. They can be referenced right after the intial sweetalert-CSS:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="dist/sweetalert.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="themes/twitter/twitter.css">

Contributing
If you want to contribute:
-
Fork the repo
-
Make sure you have Node, NPM and Gulp installed. When in the SweetAlert directory, run
npm install
to install the dependencies. Then rungulp
while working to automatically minify the SCSS and JS-files. -
Keep in mind that SweetAlert uses Browserify in order to compile ES6-files. For easy debugging, make sure you reference the file
dist/sweetalert-dev.js
instead ofsweetalert.js
