AlertDialog

AlertDialogs are a specific type of Dialog. They display important information that users need to acknowledge.

Example#


Content#


Unlike Dialog, the layout in AlertDialog is very deliberate. The body of an AlertDialog can be provided by passing children to the component. The AlertDialog also supports having up to three buttons in its footer: a primary button, a secondary button, and a cancel button. Each button can be rendered by providing a string to the primaryActionLabel, secondaryActionLabel, and cancelLabel respectively. Be sure to localize any strings provided to the AlertDialog and to the button labels as well. AlertDialogs do not support a Fullscreen mode.

AlertDialogs should always have a visible title, specified by passing a string as the title prop. This string should be localized so that it is properly internationalized.

Accessibility#

If any of the buttons in the AlertDialog's footer should be focused when it opens, specify which one via the autoFocusButton prop.

Events#


AlertDialog accepts an onPrimaryAction, onSecondaryAction and onCancel prop, triggered when the AlertDialog's confirm or cancel buttons are pressed respectively.

The example below uses onPrimaryAction, onSecondaryAction and onCancel to tell the user which button was pressed to close the AlertDialog.
