import * as modalDialogs_or_whatever from "@joe_kerr/vue-modal-dialogs";

2b) Pure node or browser

const modalDialogs = require("path_to_node_modules/@joe_kerr/vue-modal-dialogs/dist/modalDialogs.common.js");

<html> <script src="path_to_node_modules/@joe_kerr/vue-modal-dialogs/dist/modalDialogs.umd.min.js"></script>

//or
const component = contextMenu.component;

export default {
	name: "main",
	components: {"modal-dialog-container": component}
};

Use

Configuration

Provide configuration properties on the second parameter of the Vue.use(plugin, configProperties) call.

vuex (mandatory)

A reference to your Vuex store instance.

namespace

The namespace of the store module, i.e. what you put in the dispatch call: store.dispatch("namspace/open"). Default: "modalDialog"

customDialogs

An array of custom dialogs in form of {name, dialog} where

name: identifier name of the dialog used in the open action, i.e.: store.dispatch("namespace/open", {dialog: name})
dialog: the dialog component

Open dialogs

The default dialogs correspond to the native JavaScript counter parts:

alert
confirm
propmt

store.dispatch("modalDialog/open", {dialog: "alert|confirm|prompt[, parameters: "message"|{text, placeholder}]})

The dialogs alert and confirm take a string on the parameters propery while the prompt dialog takes an object with optional text (dialog body) and placeholder (dialog textarea) properties.

Returns a promise with the resulting user action (see below) or throws if another dialog is tried to be opened while a previous one is still being awaited.

Respond to dialogs

const response = await store.dispatch("modalDialog/open", {id, parameters});

The "response" promise resolves after a button on the dialog was pressed. It will contain

true for the alert dialog,
true or false for the confirm dialog,
the text content of the prompt dialog if ok'ed or null if cancled.

Create new dialogs

// ./src/dialogs/customDialog.vue
export default {
  name: "custom-dialog",
  props: ["parameters", "close"],
  //<base-modal-dialog> is available on all custom dialogs
  template: `
  <base-modal-dialog title="Custom dialog" :buttons="{'DoSth': doSth}">
    <div slot="header">custon header</div>
    <div slot="body">custon body</div>
    <div slot="footer">custon footer</div>
  </base-modal-dialog>
  `,
  methods: {
    doSth() {
      console.log("msg from doSth:", this.parameters.info);
      this.close("any data"); //This will resolve the dialog promise that was returned when the dialog was opened.
    }
  }
};

// Vue setup
import {installer, component} from "@joe_kerr/vue-modal-dialogs"; 
import customDialogComp from "./src/dialogs/customDialog.vue";

const vuex = new Vuex.Store();
const customDialog = {
  name: "customDialog",
  dialog: customDialogComp
};

Vue.use(installer, {vuex, customDialogs: [customDialog]})

// ./src/someVueComponent.vue
{
  const promise = this.$store.dispatch("modalDialogs/open", {dialog: "customDialog", parameters: {info: "hello world"}});
  // The promise will be resolved by calling the props.close callback in the custom dialog.
}
