Here’s a comparison of a standard error message. The first one uses the built-in alert-function, while the second is using SweetAlert2.
alert('Oops... Something went wrong!')
sweetAlert( 'Oops...', 'Something went wrong!', 'error' )
Pretty cool huh? SweetAlert2 automatically centers itself on the page and looks great no matter if you're using a desktop computer, mobile or tablet. It's even highly customizeable, as you can see below!
In these examples, we're using the shorthand function swal.
A title with a text under
swal( 'The Internet?', 'That thing is still around?', 'question' )
A success message!
swal( 'Good job!', 'You clicked the button!', 'success' )
A message with auto close timer
swal({ title: 'Auto close alert!', text: 'I will close in 2 seconds.', timer: 2000 })
Custom HTML description and buttons
swal({ title: '<i>HTML</i> <u>example</u>', type: 'info', html: 'You can use <b>bold text</b>, ' + '<a href="//github.com">links</a> ' + 'and other HTML tags', showCloseButton: true, showCancelButton: true, confirmButtonText: '<i class="fa fa-thumbs-up"></i> Great!', cancelButtonText: '<i class="fa fa-thumbs-down"></i>' })
jQuery HTML
swal({ title: 'jQuery HTML example', html: $('<div>') .addClass('some-class') .text('jQuery is everywhere.') })
A warning message, with a function attached to the "Confirm"-button...
swal({ title: 'Are you sure?', text: "You won't be able to revert this!", type: 'warning', showCancelButton: true, confirmButtonColor: '#3085d6', cancelButtonColor: '#d33', confirmButtonText: 'Yes, delete it!' }).then(function(isConfirm) { if (isConfirm) { swal( 'Deleted!', 'Your file has been deleted.', 'success' ); } })
... and by passing a parameter, you can execute something else for "Cancel".
swal({ title: 'Are you sure?', text: "You won't be able to revert this!", type: 'warning', showCancelButton: true, confirmButtonColor: '#3085d6', cancelButtonColor: '#d33', confirmButtonText: 'Yes, delete it!', cancelButtonText: 'No, cancel!', confirmButtonClass: 'btn btn-success', cancelButtonClass: 'btn btn-danger', buttonsStyling: false }).then(function(isConfirm) { if (isConfirm === true) { swal( 'Deleted!', 'Your file has been deleted.', 'success' ); } else if (isConfirm === false) { swal( 'Cancelled', 'Your imaginary file is safe :)', 'error' ); } else { // Esc, close button or outside click // isConfirm is undefined } })
A message with custom width, padding and background
swal({ text: 'Custom width, padding, background.', width: 300, padding: 100, background: '#fff url(//goo.gl/enIitC)' })
Ajax request example
swal({ title: 'Submit email to run ajax request', input: 'email', showCancelButton: true, confirmButtonText: 'Submit', preConfirm: function() { return new Promise(function(resolve) { swal.enableLoading(); setTimeout(function() { resolve(); }, 2000); }); }, allowOutsideClick: false }).then(function(isConfirm) { if (isConfirm) { swal('Ajax request finished!'); } })
$ bower install sweetalert2
Initialize the plugin by referencing the necessary files:
<script src="bower_components/sweetalert2/dist/sweetalert2.min.js"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" href="bower_components/sweetalert2/dist/sweetalert2.min.css"> <!-- for IE support --> <script src="bower_components/es6-promise-polyfill/promise.min.js"></script>
Call the sweetAlert2-function after the page has loaded
swal({ title: 'Error!', text: 'Do you want to continue', type: 'error', confirmButtonText: 'Cool' })
