Simple confirmation dialogs built on top of @mui/material and straightforward to use thanks to React Hooks

Material-UI confirm

Confirming user choice is a good thing to do, it should also be easy to do.

This package provides simple confirmation dialogs built on top of @mui/material and straightforward to use thanks to React Hooks.

Installation

npm install --save material-ui-confirm

Demo

Usage

Wrap your app inside the ConfirmProvider component.
Note: If you're using Material UI ThemeProvider, make sure ConfirmProvider is a child of it.

import React from 'react';
import { ConfirmProvider } from 'material-ui-confirm';

const App = () => {
  return (
    <ConfirmProvider>
      {/* ... */}
    </ConfirmProvider>
  );
};

export default App;

Call the useConfirm hook wherever you need the confirm function.
Note: A component calling useConfirm must be a child of ConfirmProvider.

import React from 'react';
import Button from '@mui/material/Button';
import { useConfirm } from 'material-ui-confirm';

const Item = () => {
  const confirm = useConfirm();

  const handleClick = () => {
    confirm({ description: 'This action is permanent!' })
      .then(() => { /* ... */ })
      .catch(() => { /* ... */ });
  };

  return (
    <Button onClick={handleClick}>
      Click
    </Button>
  );
};

export default Item;

API

ConfirmProvider

This component is required in order to render a dialog in the component tree.

Props

Name	Type	Default	Description
defaultOptions	object	{}	Overrides the default options used by confirm.

useConfirm() => confirm

This hook returns the confirm function.

confirm([options]) => Promise

This function opens a confirmation dialog and returns a promise representing the user choice (resolved on confirmation and rejected on cancellation).

Options

Name	Type	Default	Description
title	ReactNode	'Are you sure?'	Dialog title.
description	ReactNode	''	Dialog content, automatically wrapped in DialogContentText.
content	ReactNode	null	Dialog content, same as description but not wrapped in DialogContentText. Supersedes description if present.
confirmationText	ReactNode	'Ok'	Confirmation button caption.
cancellationText	ReactNode	'Cancel'	Cancellation button caption.
dialogProps	object	{}	Material-UI Dialog props.
confirmationButtonProps	object	{}	Material-UI Button props for the confirmation button.
cancellationButtonProps	object	{}	Material-UI Button props for the cancellation button.
titleProps	object	{}	Material-UI DialogTitle props for the dialog title.
contentProps	object	{}	Material-UI DialogContent props for the dialog content.
allowClose	boolean	true	Whether natural close (escape or backdrop click) should close the dialog. When set to false force the user to either cancel or confirm explicitly.

Useful notes

Confirm by pressing Enter

You can get this behavior by adding the autoFocus property to the confirmation button. This way the button is focused as soon as the dialog opens and hitting Enter naturally triggers a click.

Locally

const MyComponent = () => {
  // ...

  const handleClick = () => {
    confirm({ confirmationButtonProps: { autoFocus: true } })
      .then(() => { /* ... */ })
      .catch(() => { /* ... */ });
  };

  // ...
};

Globally

const App = () => {
  return (
    <ConfirmProvider
      defaultOptions={{
        confirmationButtonProps: { autoFocus: true }
      }}
    >
      {/* ... */}
    </ConfirmProvider>
  );
};
