Sweet Alert

A beautiful replacement for Javascript's "Alert"

So... What does it do?

Here’s a comparison of a standard error message. The first one uses the built-in alert-function, while the second is using sweetAlert.

Normal alert

Code:

alert("Oops... Something went wrong!");

Sweet Alert

Code:

sweetAlert("Oops...", "Something went wrong!", "error");

Pretty cool huh? SweetAlert 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!

More examples

In these examples, we're using the shorthand function swal to call sweetAlert.

A basic message
```
swal("Here's a message!")
```

A title with a text under

swal("Here's a message!", "It's pretty, isn't it?")

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
});

A warning message, with a function attached to the "Confirm"-button...

swal({
  title: "Are you sure?",
  text: "You will not be able to recover this imaginary file!",
  type: "warning",
  showCancelButton: true,
  confirmButtonColor: "#DD6B55",
  confirmButtonText: "Yes, delete it!",
  closeOnConfirm: false
},
function(){
  swal("Deleted!", "Your imaginary file has been deleted.", "success");
});

... and by passing a parameter, you can execute something else for "Cancel".

swal({
  title: "Are you sure?",
  text: "You will not be able to recover this imaginary file!",
  type: "warning",
  showCancelButton: true,
  confirmButtonColor: "#DD6B55",
  confirmButtonText: "Yes, delete it!",
  cancelButtonText: "No, cancel plx!",
  closeOnConfirm: false,
  closeOnCancel: false
},
function(isConfirm){
  if (isConfirm) {
    swal("Deleted!", "Your imaginary file has been deleted.", "success");
  } else {
	    swal("Cancelled", "Your imaginary file is safe :)", "error");
  }
});

A message with a custom icon

swal({
  title: "Sweet!",
  text: "Here's a custom image.",
  imageUrl: "images/thumbs-up.jpg"
});

Download & install

Method 1: Install through bower:

Download files

Initialize the plugin by referencing the necessary files:

<script src="lib/sweet-alert.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="lib/sweet-alert.css">

Call the sweetAlert-function after the page has loaded

swal({
  title: "Error!",
  text: "Here's my error message!",
  type: "error",
  confirmButtonText: "Cool"
});

Configuration

Here are the keys that you can use if you pass an object into sweetAlert:

Argument	Default value	Description
title	null (required)	The title of the modal. It can either be added to the object under the key "title" or passed as the first parameter of the function.
text	null	A description for the modal. It can either be added to the object under the key "text" or passed as the second parameter of the function.
type	null	The type of the modal. SweetAlert comes with 4 built-in types which will show a corresponding icon animation: "warning", "error", "success" and "info". It can either be put in the array under the key "type" or passed as the third parameter of the function.
customClass	null	A custom CSS class for the modal. It can be added to the object under the key "customClass".
allowOutsideClick	false	If set to true, the user can dismiss the modal by clicking outside it.
showCancelButton	false	If set to true, a "Cancel"-button will be shown, which the user can click on to dismiss the modal.
confirmButtonText	"OK"	Use this to change the text on the "Confirm"-button. If showCancelButton is set as true, the confirm button will automatically show "Confirm" instead of "OK".
confirmButtonColor	"#AEDEF4"	Use this to change the background color of the "Confirm"-button (must be a HEX value).
cancelButtonText	"Cancel"	Use this to change the text on the "Cancel"-button.
closeOnConfirm	true	Set to false if you want the modal to stay open even if the user presses the "Confirm"-button. This is especially useful if the function attached to the "Confirm"-button is another SweetAlert.
imageUrl	null	Add a customized icon for the modal. Should contain a string with the path to the image.
imageSize	"80x80"	If imageUrl is set, you can specify imageSize to describes how big you want the icon to be in px. Pass in a string with two values separated by an "x". The first value is the width, the second is the height.
timer	null	Auto close timer of the modal. Set in ms (milliseconds).
