react-native-customisable-alert

This React Native simple library was built in top of react-native-modal to help you to easily customise your alerts. It works like a built in React Native Alert component but this is highly customisable. The catch of this library is that you can call it from anywhere in your code without extra components imports and variables to control it, which means a CLEANER CODE 😉!!!

Installation

To install the latest version of react-native-customisable-alert you only need to run:

npm install --save react-native-customisable-alert

or

yarn add react-native-customisable-alert

Try it out

You can find the examples above on src/examples

Basic Usage

This component was meant to be used globally, so you only need to import it once in your App.js:

import React from "react";
import { View } from "react-native";
import CustomisableAlert from "react-native-customisable-alert";

export default class App extends React.Component {
    render() {
        return (
            <View style={{ flex: 1 }}>
                ... all your stuff
                <CustomisableAlert
                    titleStyle={{
                        fontSize: 18,
                        fontWeight: "bold"
                    }}
                />
            </View>
        );
    }
}

After that all you need is to call showAlert or closeAlert methods from anywhere in your app.

Show some alert

To fire an alert just call showAlert(obj) as below:

import React from "react";
import { View, Button } from "react-native";

import { showAlert } from "react-native-customisable-alert";

class OtherScreen extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <View style={{ flex: 1 }}>
        <Button
          onPress={() => {
            showAlert({
              title="Are you sure?"
              message: "All your files will be deleted!",
              alertType: 'warning',
              onPress: () => console.log('files deleted!'),
            });
          }}
        />
      </View>
    );
  }
}

When you call showAlert you should pass some attributes to customize your alert:

Property	Type	Description
title	string	The title of your alert
message	string	The message of your alert
btnLabel	string	Button label for the one button alert ('error' or success' alertTypes), default='Ok'
leftBtnLabel	string	Left button label for two buttons alerts ('warning' alertTypes), default='Cancel'
customAlert	React.Component	Define a custom alert (this will replace the whole thing!)
customIcon	React.Component	Set a custom icon for your alert. If you want no icon in your alert use customIcon:'none'
alertType	'error', 'success', 'warning', 'custom'	Define the type of the alert
onPress	(): void	Button pressed callback (one button alerts or right button in a two buttons alerts)
onDismiss	(): void	Close alert button callback (left button in a two buttons alerts)
animationIn	Animation	Overhides global animation for an entrance animation
animationOut	Animation	Overhides global animation for an exit animation
dismissable	boolean	Overhides global dismissable behavior. If true it closes the alert when touch outside, default false
modalProps	ModalProps	Overhides global modal props from react-native-modal

All alerts are set to close automatically when any button pressed, but for custom and warning alertTypes you need close it programatically as the example below:

import React from "react";
import { View, Button } from "react-native";

import { showAlert, closeAlert } from "react-native-customisable-alert";

class OtherScreen extends React.Component {
    render() {
        return (
            <View style={{ flex: 1 }}>
                <Button
                    onPress={() => {
                        showAlert({
                            customAlert: (
                                <View>
                                    <Text>Could you tell us your name?</Text>
                                    <TextInput />
                                    <View>
                                        <Button
                                            title="Cancel"
                                            onPress={() => closeAlert()}
                                        />
                                        <Button
                                            title="Send"
                                            onPress={() => {}}
                                        />
                                    </View>
                                </View>
                            )
                        });
                    }}
                />
            </View>
        );
    }
}
