material-confirm-alert

A simple material-ui confirmation alert based on React Context API.

Installation

This library requires React and @material-ui/core

Install and save the package as dependencies of the project.

npm i --save material-confirm-alert

Usage

First, import the ConfirmAlertProvider from the package and use it to wrap your component wherever you want to use the confirmation alert. If you want to use it across the whole app, wrap your App component inside it.

Note: If you are using material-ui ThemeProvider, wrap the ConfirmAlertProvider inside it.

import { ConfirmAlertProvider } from 'material-confirm-alert';
...

export const App = () => {
    return (
        <ConfirmAlertProvider>
            ...
        </ConfirmAlertProvider>
    )
}

Next, inside your component where you want to use the confirmation alert, import the useConfirmAlert hook from the package. This hook returns a confirm function which will be used to call confirmation alert.

import { useConfirmAlert } from 'material-confirm-alert';
...

const MyComponent = () => {
    const confirm = useConfirmAlert();
    const handleClick = async () => {
        // confirm returns a promise and can be used with async/await
        const result = await confirm('Do you want to delete?');
        if(result) {
            // Handle operation when user confirm
            ...
        } else {
            // Handle operation when user cancel
            ...
        }
    }

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