native-msg-box v0.1.6

native-msg-box

Allows you to display a native MessageBox / Dialog.

By native we mean an OS level, not a browser level dialog.

Example:

var msgbox = require('native-msg-box');
msgbox.prompt({
  msg: "Hunt the Wumpus?",
  title: "Game"
}, function(err, result) {
  switch (result) {
    case msgbox.Result.YES:
      console.log("pressed yes");
      break;
    case msgbox.Result.NO:
      console.log("pressed no");
      break;
  }
});

API:

• prompt(options, callback)

  options

  msg {string} REQUIRED The message to display

  title {string} optional. Title for dialog (not available on all OSes ... yet?)

  callback

  The callback gets passed an err and a result. At the moment err should always be null. result is one of

  Result.YES
  Result.NO

  Why not just a simple true or false? Because the future possibility of more values like Cancel, Retry, etc..

Prerequisites

Currently the Linux verison requires wmctrl and zentiy.

To Do

• Add more dialog types. For example

  • a single string prompt "Enter Name: ____"
  • other buttons like "Ok", "Cancel"
