Data-Confirm Modal

Uses Bootstrap's modals in place of the browser's builtin confirm() API for links generated through Rails' helpers with the :confirm option.

Any link with the data-confirm attribute will trigger a Bootstrap modal.

HTML in the modal supported, and also the ability to have the user input a certain value, for extra willingness confirmation (inspired by GitHub's "delete repository" function).

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'data-confirm-modal', github: 'ifad/data-confirm-modal'

if you are stuck on Bootstrap 2.3, use the bootstrap2 branch:

gem 'data-confirm-modal', github: 'ifad/data-confirm-modal', branch: 'bootstrap2'

Then execute:

$ bundle

And then require the Javascript from your application.js:

//= require data-confirm-modal

Usage

By default, the overrides Rails' default behaviour for you, with no change required to your code. The modal is applicable to <a>, <button> and <input[submit]> elements.

The modal's title will be get from the link's title attribute value. The modal text will be taken from the data-confirm value. Multiple paragraphs are created automatically from two newlines (\n\n).

The modal's 'confirm' button text can be customized using the data-commit attribute.

If you want to add a verification input, use a data-verify attribute, whose value is what you want your user to input.

You can set global setting using dataConfirmModal.setDefaults, for example:

dataConfirmModal.setDefaults({
  title: 'Confirm your action',
  commit: 'Continue',
  cancel: 'Cancel'
});

To restore default settings use dataConfirmModal.restoreDefaults().

Authors

Background

Spinned off a corporate IFAD application in which an user did too much damage because the confirm wasn't THAT explicit ... ;-).
