Alert Dialog Primitive

Alert Dialog is a Starwind Runtime primitive in the dialog-native-overlay contract family. Astro and React share one semantic component API. React coordinates reactive state through controlled and default props plus callbacks. Astro renders initial state and coordinates later changes through DOM events and Runtime methods. Raw HTML uses Runtime attributes, DOM events, and imperative methods.

Anatomy

Use the Astro primitive adapter to render AlertDialog anatomy with the Runtime wiring included.

---
import { AlertDialog } from "@starwind-ui/astro/alert-dialog";
---

<AlertDialog.Root>
  <AlertDialog.Trigger>Delete item</AlertDialog.Trigger>
  <AlertDialog.Backdrop />
  <AlertDialog.Viewport>
    <AlertDialog.Popup>
      <AlertDialog.Title>Delete item?</AlertDialog.Title>
      <AlertDialog.Description>This action cannot be undone.</AlertDialog.Description>
      <AlertDialog.Close>Cancel</AlertDialog.Close>
    </AlertDialog.Popup>
  </AlertDialog.Viewport>
</AlertDialog.Root>

Use the React primitive adapter when AlertDialog state participates in React rendering.

import { AlertDialog } from "@starwind-ui/react/alert-dialog";

export function Example() {
  return (
    <AlertDialog.Root>
      <AlertDialog.Trigger>Delete item</AlertDialog.Trigger>
      <AlertDialog.Backdrop />
      <AlertDialog.Viewport>
        <AlertDialog.Popup>
          <AlertDialog.Title>Delete item?</AlertDialog.Title>
          <AlertDialog.Description>This action cannot be undone.</AlertDialog.Description>
          <AlertDialog.Close>Cancel</AlertDialog.Close>
        </AlertDialog.Popup>
      </AlertDialog.Viewport>
    </AlertDialog.Root>
  );
}

Render the AlertDialog data-sw-* contract yourself, then initialize createAlertDialog.

<div data-sw-alert-dialog>
  <button data-sw-alert-dialog-trigger type="button" aria-haspopup="dialog">Delete item</button>
  <div data-sw-alert-dialog-backdrop hidden></div>
  <div data-sw-alert-dialog-viewport>
    <dialog data-sw-alert-dialog-popup role="alertdialog">
      <h2 data-sw-alert-dialog-title>Delete item?</h2>
      <p data-sw-alert-dialog-description>This action cannot be undone.</p>
      <button data-sw-alert-dialog-close type="button">Cancel</button>
    </dialog>
  </div>
</div>

<script type="module">
  import { createAlertDialog } from "@starwind-ui/runtime/alert-dialog";

  const root = document.querySelector("[data-sw-alert-dialog]");
  if (root) {
    createAlertDialog(root);
  }
</script>

Changelog

View version history v1.0.0 3 releases

v1.0.0

Promoted this Primitive's vendoring version to the stable 1.0.0 baseline. Its existing API and Runtime behavior carry forward from the previous release.

v0.1.1

Marked generated React Primitive files as client modules so vendored installs preserve client boundaries in React server frameworks.
Kept generated React state-change callbacks and DOM events cancelable until the Runtime accepts the proposed state, then synchronized rendered state.

v0.1.0

Introduced modal confirmation state with focus management, dismissal rules, and accessible alert-dialog semantics.
