Alert Dialog

A modal dialog that interrupts the user's workflow to communicate an important message and acquire a response. Examples include action confirmation prompts and error message confirmations. The alertdialog role enables assistive technologies and browsers to distinguish alert dialogs from other dialogs so they have the option of giving alert dialogs special treatment, such as playing a system alert sound.

Import

Copyts
import { AlertDialog } from "@kobalte/core/alert-dialog";
// or
import { Root, Trigger, ... } from "@kobalte/core/alert-dialog";
// or (deprecated)
import { AlertDialog } from "@kobalte/core";

Copyts
import { AlertDialog } from "@kobalte/core/alert-dialog";
// or
import { Root, Trigger, ... } from "@kobalte/core/alert-dialog";
// or (deprecated)
import { AlertDialog } from "@kobalte/core";

Features

• Follow the WAI ARIA Alert Dialog design pattern.
• Supports modal and non-modal modes.
• Provides screen reader announcements via rendered title and description.
• Focus is trapped and scrolling is blocked while it is open.
• Pressing Esc closes the alert dialog.
• Can be controlled or uncontrolled.

Anatomy

The alert dialog consists of:

• AlertDialog: Contains all the parts of a dialog.
• AlertDialog.Trigger: The button that opens the dialog.
• AlertDialog.Portal: Portals its children into the body when the dialog is open.
• AlertDialog.Overlay: The layer that covers the inert portion of the view when the dialog is open.
• AlertDialog.Content: Contains the content to be rendered when the dialog is open.
• AlertDialog.CloseButton: The button that closes the dialog.
• AlertDialog.Title: An accessible title to be announced when the dialog is opened.
• AlertDialog.Description: An optional accessible description to be announced when the dialog is opened.

Usage

Default open

An initial, uncontrolled open value can be provided using the defaultOpen prop.

Copytsx
<AlertDialog defaultOpen>...</AlertDialog>

Copytsx
<AlertDialog defaultOpen>...</AlertDialog>

Controlled open

The open prop can be used to make the open state controlled. The onOpenChange event is fired when the user presses the trigger, close button or overlay, and receives the new value.

Copytsx
import { createSignal } from "solid-js";

function ControlledExample() {
	const [open, setOpen] = createSignal(false);

	return (
		<AlertDialog open={open()} onOpenChange={setOpen}>
			...
		</AlertDialog>
	);
}

Copytsx
import { createSignal } from "solid-js";

function ControlledExample() {
	const [open, setOpen] = createSignal(false);

	return (
		<AlertDialog open={open()} onOpenChange={setOpen}>
			...
		</AlertDialog>
	);
}
