AlertDialog

A modal that interrupts to confirm something consequential.

Usage

import { AlertDialog } from "@voila.dev/ui/alert-dialog";
<AlertDialog.Root>
	<AlertDialog.Trigger render={<Button variant="outline" />}>Cancel</AlertDialog.Trigger>
	<AlertDialog.Content size="sm">
		<AlertDialog.Header>
			<AlertDialog.Media><WarningIcon className="text-destructive" /></AlertDialog.Media>
			<AlertDialog.Title>Cancel this project?</AlertDialog.Title>
			<AlertDialog.Description>The freelancer will be notified.</AlertDialog.Description>
		</AlertDialog.Header>
		<AlertDialog.Footer>
			<AlertDialog.Cancel>Keep project</AlertDialog.Cancel>
			<AlertDialog.Action variant="destructive">Cancel project</AlertDialog.Action>
		</AlertDialog.Footer>
	</AlertDialog.Content>
</AlertDialog.Root>

A modal that asks one question and will not be dismissed by clicking away. That is the whole difference from Dialog: an alert dialog is for a decision with consequences, so the escape routes are deliberate buttons rather than the backdrop. If you are building the common destructive confirmation, ConfirmDialog is this component with the title, buttons and open state already wired — reach for that first and come here when the layout needs to be your own.

Recipes

size takes default or sm; sm fits a question whose answer is one line.

Put the consequence in the title, not the control: "Delete this project?" tells someone what they are about to do, "Are you sure?" makes them guess. The confirm button should name the action too — Delete project, never OK.

API

AlertDialog.Root

PropTypeDefault
actionsRefRefObject<DialogRootActions | null>A ref to imperative actions.
childrenPayloadChildRenderFunction<unknown> | ReactNodeThe content of the dialog. This can be a regular React node or a render function that receives the payload of the active trigger.
defaultOpenbooleanWhether the dialog is initially open. To render a controlled dialog, use the open prop instead.
defaultTriggerIdstring | nullID of the trigger that the dialog is associated with. This is useful in conjunction with the defaultOpen prop to create an initially open dialog.
handleAlertDialogHandle<unknown>A handle to associate the alert dialog with a trigger. If specified, allows external triggers to control the alert dialog's open state. Can be created with the AlertDialog.createHandle() method.
onOpenChange((open: boolean, eventDetails: AlertDialogRootChangeEventDetails) => void)Event handler called when the alert dialog is opened or closed.
onOpenChangeComplete((open: boolean) => void)Event handler called after any animations complete when the dialog is opened or closed.
openbooleanWhether the dialog is currently open.
triggerIdstring | nullID of the trigger that the dialog is associated with. This is useful in conjunction with the open prop to create a controlled dialog. There's no need to specify this prop when the dialog is uncontrolled (that is, when the open prop is not set).

Plus the DOM props of the element it renders. Source: alert-dialog/components/alert-dialog-root.tsx.

AlertDialog.Action

size"default" | "icon" | "icon-lg" | "icon-sm" | "icon-xs" | "lg" | "sm" | "xs""default"Height and horizontal padding. The icon-* set is square, for a button whose entire content is one icon — give those an aria-label.
variant"brand" | "default" | "destructive" | "ghost" | "highlight" | "link" | "outline" | "primary" | "secondary""default"Weight of the action. default is the one thing the page exists for, at most one per view; secondary an equal-weight alternative; outline for toolbars and anything that repeats in a row; ghost inside dense surfaces; destructive for what cannot be undone; link for an action that reads as navigation.
classNamestring | ((state: DialogCloseState) => string | undefined)CSS class applied to the element, or a function that returns a class based on the component's state.
nativeButtonbooleanWhether the component renders a native <button> element when replacing it via the render prop. Set to false if the rendered element is not a button (for example, <div>).
renderComponentRenderFn<HTMLProps, DialogCloseState> | ReactElement<unknown, string | JSXElementConstructor<any>>Allows you to replace the component's HTML element with a different tag, or compose it with another component. Accepts a ReactElement or a function that returns the element to render.
