Bootbox: Callback function after dismissing the dialog / Clicking on the 'X' button - javascript

The following snippet allows me to perform stuff in a callback function for the buttons that are clicked. However, how can I get a callback function, or a similar workaround such that I can perform some code when a user clicks on the 'X' button/dismisses the dialog?
bootbox.dialog({
title: "Woah this acts like an alert",
message: "Cool info for you. You MUST click Ok.",
buttons: {
sucess:{
label: "Ok",
callback: callback
}
}
});
callback(){//stuff that happens when they click Ok.}
I do not want to disable/hide the close button with
closeButton: false,

There is onEscape function for this.
bootbox.dialog({
message: 'the msg',
title: "Title",
onEscape: function() {
// you can do anything here you want when the user dismisses dialog
}
});

You can use a variable to check if the modal was hidden after a click on OK or x button / escape key
var status = false;
$('.btn').on('click', function () {
bootbox.dialog({
title: "Woah this acts like an alert",
message: "Cool info for you. You MUST click Ok.",
buttons: {
sucess: {
label: "Ok",
callback: function () {
status = true;
}
}
},
onEscape: function () {
$('.bootbox.modal').modal('hide');
}
});
});
$(document).on("hidden.bs.modal", ".bootbox.modal", function (e) {
callback();
});
function callback() {
if (!status) {
onClose();
} else {
onOK();
status = false;
}
}
function onClose() {
$('p.alert span').removeClass().addClass('text-danger').text("Dismissed");
}
function onOK() {
$('p.alert span').removeClass().addClass('text-success').text("Sucess");
}
Fiddle demo

Some people might see this as a bit of a hack-around. Although it suits me fine as all I wanted to acknowledge as a developer that someone accepted the message, which triggered the next event.
Using Bootbox.js' native confirm() method which does supply a callback action. I added an additional class as an option to the confirm button (which must be supplied on a confirm() call) with the hidden classname (E.g. Bootstap has a helper class for display:none called hidden.
This hides the confirm button, thus the Modal appears as a normal Alert box.
bootbox.confirm({
message: "Some Button Text",
buttons: {
"cancel": {
label: "<i class='fa fa-check'></i> OK - I understand",
className: "btn btn-primary"
},
//Hide the required confirm button.
"confirm": { label: "", className: "hidden" }
},
callback: function(){
//Begin Callback
alert( "Finished" );
}
});

jquery-confirm pause script if more than one $.confirm are present

I've a form with submit validation.
I'dd like to add more than 1 alerts on form submit with:
var proceed = true;
$.confirm({
title: 'Confirm 1',content: 'No products added. Are you sure to proceed?',
buttons: {
ok: {
text: "OK",
btnClass: 'btn-success',
action: function () {
}
},
cancel: {
text: "Cancel",
action: function () {
proceed = false;
return false;
}
}
}
});
... some others checks ....
if ( !proceed ) { return false;} //EXIT SCRIPT
// IF ALL CHECKS PASSED
$.confirm({
title: 'Final confirm',content: 'All checks are ok. Are you sure to insert?',
buttons: {
ok: {
text: "OK",
btnClass: 'btn-success',
action: function () {
form.submit(); //SUBMIT THE FORM
}
},
cancel: {
text: "Cancel",
action: function () {
// CLOSE DIALOG
}
}
}
});
but on form submit I get all of 2 $.confirm opens! I'd like to pause second one until I click OK on the first one.
My jsfiddle https://jsfiddle.net/st1cqb39/2/
Make the finalConfirm function as a generic one, and call it in the action callback (of your empty check) accordingly.
Here is a DEMO: https://jsfiddle.net/st1cqb39/3/
Hope this helps!

MVC post losing values when submitted via javascript

I have an MVC form with a submit button:
<form method="POST" id="submitProject" action="#Url.Action(SubmitProject, "ProjectSummary")">
<button type="submit" name="submitButton" id="submitProject" value="saveToProposed" class="btn btn-primary">Submit Project</button>
</form>
But when a user clicks on that button i want to show them a confirmation dialog before the post goes on its way:
$('#submitProject').submit(function (e) {
var currentForm = this;
e.preventDefault();
bootbox.dialog({
message: "Approve or Reject",
title: "Project Approval",
buttons: {
success: {
label: "Approve",
className: "btn-success",
callback: function () {
alert("Approved");
currentForm.submit();
}
},
danger: {
label: "Reject",
className: "btn-danger",
callback: function () {
alert("Rejected");
currentForm.submit();
}
},
main: {
label: "Cancel",
className: "btn-primary",
callback: function () {
return true;
}
}
}
});
});
in my controller i am trying to trap the value of the submit button like this:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult SubmitProject(ProjectModel m, string submitButton)
{
}
if i do not have that preventDefault line in there i can see the value of the submitButton in the controller. With the preventDefault the value is always null.
this is something i have been struggling with for some time as i try to learn MVC. if i didn't have any client side interaction i would be fine. But trying to get js to play with mvc is giving me hearburn. what am i doing wrong?
A form only posts back the name/value pair of its submit button that was clicked. In your case your cancelling the buttons .click() event and then calling the .submit() function (i.e. the submit is no longer triggered by the click so its value is not sent in the request).
Rather than calling e.preventDefault();, call a function that returns true or false, in the same way that you can use the javascript .confirm() function to cancel the form submission (i.e. return confirm("...");
function confirmSubmit()
{
bootbox.dialog({
....
// for the success and danger buttons - return true;
// for the main button - return false
buttons: {
success: {
label: "Approve",
className: "btn-success",
callback: function () {
return true;
}
},
....
});
}
$('#submitProject').submit(function (e) {
return confirmSubmit();
});
Side note: your form only has one submit button, so the value of string submitButton will only ever be "saveToProposed". Not sure if you omitted it from your code, but I assume you would really have at least 2 submit buttons.

BB Dialog showing up before alert

JSFiddle Link:
The bootbox.alert should show up before the bootbox.dialog. I've preloaded all the libraries into the JSFiddle. I want the bootbox.dialog to show up once the bootbox.alert has been clicked on.
Check it out here
Bootbox defined their functions here, and as you can see they include a callback. For example:
bootbox.alert(message, callback)
The callback gives you the option to only run certain code once this line is completed. This solves your problem.
JS
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.begin-game').click(function () {
bootbox.alert("This should show up first", function () {
bootbox.dialog({
message: "Did you pass Go?",
title: "This should go second / last",
buttons: {
// Passed go
success: {
label: "Yes I Passed GO!",
className: "btn-success",
callback: function () {
}
},
// Did not pass go
danger: {
label: "I did not :(",
className: "btn-danger",
callback: function () {
}
},
}
});
});
});
});
The 2nd parameter to bootbox.alert is a function that will be called after the alert is dismissed. Launch the dialog in that function.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.begin-game').click(function () {
bootbox.alert("This should show up first", showDialog);
function showDialog() {
bootbox.dialog({
message: "Did you pass Go?",
title: "This should go second / last",
buttons: {
// Passed go
success: {
label: "Yes I Passed GO!",
className: "btn-success",
callback: function() {
}
},
// Did not pass go
danger: {
label: "I did not :(",
className: "btn-danger",
callback: function() {
}
}
}
});
}
});
});

How to Return message as true from jquery dialog box

I have to show Confirmation message buttons as "Yes" or "No", for that i am showing jquery dialog box as
function ConfirmDialog(message) {
$('<div></div>').appendTo('body')
.html('<div><h6>' + message + '?</h6></div>')
.dialog({
modal: true,
title: 'Message',
zIndex: 10000,
autoOpen: true,
width: 'auto',
resizable: false,
buttons: {
Yes: function (e) {
$(this).dialog("close");
return true;
},
No: function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
return false;
}
},
close: function (event, ui) {
$(this).remove();
}
});
};
But my requirement is when i click "Yes" it should return as true like
var msg = ConfirmDialog("Are You Sure , Do you want to Delete all items??");
if (msg == true) {
alert("you clicked yes");
} else {
alert("you clicked No");
}
For that , i have return as true, but script is not working like, and one more is I can't write script in "Yes" button function, due to some issues, please help me anyone.
You can't 'return' anything from a dialog box. Instead you should have a function which you run based on the button clicked in the dialog, something like this:
.dialog({
// other settings...
buttons: {
Yes: function (e) {
$(this).dialog("close");
dialogResult(true);
},
No: function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
dialogResult(false);
}
},
});
What you want is a confirm() like functionality which is directly browser supported and custom implementation of it is not possible.
What you really have to do is put your code in click event of 'yes' and 'no' button.
$('#btnYes').click(function(){
alert("you clicked yes");
});
$('#btnNo').click(function(){
alert("you clicked No");
});

Variable value not updating inside dialog

I have the following simple dialog:
function confirmDialog(message, title) {
var returnvalue;
if ($("#confirmDialog").length == 0)
$('body').append('<div id="confirmDialog"></div>');
var dlg = $("#confirmDialog")
.html(message)
.dialog({
autoOpen: false,
minHeight: 50,
title: title,
show: {
effect: "explode",
duration: 250
},
hide: {
effect: "explode",
duration: 250
},
buttons: {
"OK": {
text: "OK",
class: "",
click: function () { returnvalue = true; $("#confirmDialog").dialog("close"); }
},
"Cancel": {
text: "Cancel",
class: "",
click: function () { returnvalue = false; $("#confirmDialog").dialog("close"); }
}
},
modal: true
});
$('#confirmDialog').dialog("open");
return returnvalue;
}
very simple implementation. My problem is that when I run through the script, at the end, when it returns the variable returnvalue is undefined, meaning, it did not set it to either true or false depending on which button was clicked.
I have tried setting it to var returnvalue = false; but it never gets a different value no matter which button I click.
Any help is appreciated!! Thank you!
EDIT:
I believe I noticed why the variable doesn't get set. I am calling this dialog from the click event from another dialog, after the user clicks on the "Save" button of the parent dialog, this one pops up. Now, since it is contained in a function, it does not wait for my input, meaning, it doesn't "see" that I clicked either "OK" or "Cancel". How can I fix this?
jQuery dialogs do not block execution like the built in javascript confirm() function. I can suggest two possible solutions:
Pass "ok" and "cancel" callbacks into your confirmDialog function.
Have your confirmDialog function return a promise object that you resolve after a button is clicked and have the calling function wait for that to resolve.
I prefer option 2.
I would have the button clicks trigger an event before they close the dialog, then I would listen for that event to happen in the parent process.
parent dialog opens
user clicks save
opens confirmation dialog
user closes confirmation dialog
confirmation dialog triggers "ok" or "canceled" event depending
parent dialog is listening for "ok" or "canceled" event
parent dialog reacts accordingly
confirmation dialog buttons
buttons: {
"OK": {
text: "OK",
class: "",
click: function () { $(this).trigger("ok"); $("#confirmDialog").dialog("close"); }
},
"Cancel": {
text: "Cancel",
class: "",
click: function () { $(this).trigger("cancel"); $("#confirmDialog").dialog("close"); }
}
}
parent dialog, or document.ready()
$("#confirmDialog").on({
"ok":function(event,ui){
//save work
},
"cancel":function(event,ui){
// cancel work
}
},null,null);
