See it in action!

Learn how to use it!

Usage

You can install SweetAlert through bower:

bower install sweetalert

Or through npm:

npm install sweetalert

Alternatively, download the package and reference the JavaScript and CSS files manually:

Note: If you’re using an older version than v1.0.0, the files are lib/sweet-alert.min.js and lib/sweet-alert.css

Tutorial

The easiest way to get started is follow the SweetAlert tutorial on Ludu!

Examples

The most basic message:

sweetAlert("Hello world!");

A message signaling an error:

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

A warning message, with a function attached to the “Confirm”-button:

sweetAlert({
  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,
  html: false
}, function(){
  swal("Deleted!",
  "Your imaginary file has been deleted.",
  "success");
});

A prompt modal where the user’s input is logged:

sweerAlert({
  title: "An input!",
  text: 'Write something interesting:',
  type: 'input',
  showCancelButton: true,
  closeOnConfirm: false,
  animation: "slide-from-top"
}, function(inputValue){
  console.log("You wrote", inputValue);   
});

Contributing

If you want to contribute:

  • Fork the repo

  • Make sure you have Node, NPM and Gulp installed. When in the SweetAlert directory, run npm install to install the dependencies. Then run gulp while working to automatically minify the SCSS and JS-files.

  • Keep in min that SweetAlert uses Browserify in order to compile ES6-files. For easy debugging, make sure you reference the file dist/sweetalert-dev.js instead of sweetalert.js.

  • After you’re done, make a pull request and wait for approval! 🙂
