OO.ui.MessageDialog

Extends

Constructor

new OO.ui.MessageDialog([config]) #

MessageDialogs display a confirmation or alert message. By default, the rendered dialog box consists of a header that contains the dialog title, a body with the message, and a footer that contains any action widgets. The MessageDialog class is the only type of dialog that is usually instantiated directly.

There are two basic types of message dialogs, confirmation and alert:

  • confirmation: the dialog title describes what a progressive action will do and the message provides more details about the consequences.
  • alert: the dialog title describes which event occurred and the message provides more information about why the event occurred.

The MessageDialog class specifies two actions: ‘accept’, the primary action (e.g., ‘ok’) and ‘reject,’ the safe action (e.g., ‘cancel’). Both will close the window, passing along the selected action.

For more information and examples, please see the [OOUI documentation on MediaWiki][1].

Example

// Example: Creating and opening a message dialog window.
    const messageDialog = new OO.ui.MessageDialog();

    // Create and append a window manager.
    const windowManager = new OO.ui.WindowManager();
    $( document.body ).append( windowManager.$element );
    windowManager.addWindows( [ messageDialog ] );
    // Open the window.
    windowManager.openWindow( messageDialog, {
        title: 'Basic message dialog',
        message: 'This is the message'
    } );

$focusTrapBefore #

Set focus traps

It is considered best practice to trap focus in a loop within a modal dialog, even though with 'inert' support we could allow focus to break out to the browser chrome.
