jquery.confirm

Confirm dialogs for buttons and links.

Chat room:

Requirements

• jQuery > 1.8
• Bootstrap 3 for the modals

If you use Bootstrap 2, you can use any 1.x version. From 2.0 and onwards, Bootstrap 3 is required.

Installation

The library can be downloaded manually or installed with Bower:

$ bower install jquery-confirm

Usage

<a href="home" class="confirm">Go to home</a>

$(".confirm").confirm();

Any click on the link will pop up a dialog asking the user to confirm the action.

Options

List of the options:

• text: Text to display in the dialog
• title: Title of the dialog (can be empty, the dialog will not have a header then)
• confirm: Handler executed when the user confirms
• cancel: Handler executed when the user cancels
• confirmButton: Label of the confirm button
• cancelButton: Label of the cancel button
• post: If false (default) and no confirm handler is set, redirects the user to the URL of the button/link with a GET request. If true, redirects with a POST request (like a form submission).
• confirmButtonClass: HTML class for the confirmation button, defaults to btn-primary.
• cancelButtonClass: HTML class for the cancel button, defaults to btn-default.
• dialogClass: HTML class for the dialog, defaults to modal-dialog.

Example:

<button class="confirm" type="button">Delete the comment</button>

$(".confirm").confirm({
    text: "Are you sure you want to delete that comment?",
    title: "Confirmation required",
    confirm: function(button) {
        delete();
    },
    cancel: function(button) {
        // nothing to do
    },
    confirmButton: "Yes I am",
    cancelButton: "No",
    post: true,
    confirmButtonClass: "btn-danger",
    cancelButtonClass: "btn-default",
    dialogClass: "modal-dialog modal-lg" // Bootstrap classes for large modal
});

You can also use data- attributes to customize the confirmation dialog:

<button class="confirm" type="button"
        data-text="Do you really want to delete that comment?"
        data-confirm-button="Yes I am"
        data-cancel-button="Whoops no">
    Delete the user
</button>

$(".confirm").confirm();

Manual triggering

You can manually trigger the confirmation dialog:

// Will immediately show the confirmation popup
$.confirm({
    text: "Are you sure you want to delete that comment?",
    confirm: function() {
        delete();
    },
    cancel: function() {
        // nothing to do
    }
});

Remember that if you trigger the confirmation dialog manually, you must provide a confirm callback (as shown above).

Global configuration

You can configure some options globally, for example if you translate the messages:

$.confirm.options = {
    text: "Are you sure?",
    title: "",
    confirmButton: "Yes",
    cancelButton: "Cancel",
    post: false,
    confirmButtonClass: "btn-warning",
    cancelButtonClass: "btn-default",
    dialogClass: "modal-dialog"
}
