What is it?

jQuery confirmation tooltip plugin. Easy to use and configure with excellent responsive placement (on the demo page, try resizing your screen!).

Getting the files

Clone this repo to your website's public folder

OR

Use NPM (WARNING: NPM doesn't have the package yet. I have to wait 24 hours! Download the files manually till then!):

npm install jconfirm

Dependencies

jQuery 3.0+

Setup

Include the CSS files from the folder in the head section:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="jConfirm-master/jConfirm.css">

Include the JS file from the folder before the </body>:

<script src="jConfirm-master/jConfirm.min.js"></script>

jConfirm's defaults make it dead-simple to get started:

<a href='#' 
    data-toggle="confirm"
    data-id="1">Delete it!</a>

$(function(){
  $('[data-toggle="confirm"]').jConfirm().on('confirm', function(e){
     var btn = $(this),
          id = btn.data('id');
     //make your ajax call to delete this record
  });
});

Options and Events

Defaults are shown

$(function(){
  $('[data-toggle="confirm"]').jConfirm({
        //false|array: if provided, this will override the default confirm/deny buttons (see below for an example)
        btns: false,
        //string: question displayed to the user
        question: 'Are you sure?',
        //string: confirm button text
        confirm_text: 'Yes',
        //string: deny button text
        deny_text: 'No',
        //boolean: if true, when the confirm button is clicked the user will be redirected to the button's href location
        follow_href: true,
        //boolean : if true, the tooltip will be hidden if you click outside of it
        hide_on_click: true,
        //string ('auto','top','bottom','left','right'): preferred location of the tooltip (defaults to auto if no space)
        position: 'auto',
        //string: class(es) to add to the tooltip
        class: '',
        //boolean: if true, the deny button will be shown
        show_deny_btn: true,
        //string ('black', 'white', 'bootstrap-4', 'bootstrap-4-white')
        theme: 'black',
  }).on('confirm', function(e){
     var btn = $(this);
     //triggered on confirm
  }).on('deny', function(e){
      var btn = $(this);
      //triggered on deny
  }).on('jc-show', function(e, tooltip){
      //triggered on show of tooltip
      //tooltip dom element is passed as the second parameter
  }).on('jc-hide', function(e){
      //triggered on hide of tooltip
  });
  
  //gets the currently displayed tooltip (if any)
  var current_tooltip = $.jConfirm.current;
  //gets the button that was clicked for the current tooltip
  current_tooltip.dom;
  //hides the current tooltip (remember to make sure there is one first)
  //returns the original dom element
  //you can pass false to disable triggering the hide event
  current_tooltip.hide(false);
});

You can set any of the options you see above globally using this syntax:

$.jConfirm.defaults.question = 'Are you sure?';
$.jConfirm.defaults.confirm_text = 'Yes';
$.jConfirm.defaults.deny_text = 'No';
$.jConfirm.defaults.theme = 'black';

You can override the global and passed options by setting data attributes:

<a href='#' 
    data-toggle="confirm"
    data-question="Are you sure?"
    data-confirm_text="Yes"
    data-deny_text="No"
    data-id="1">Delete it!</a>

$('[data-toggle="confirm"]').jConfirm().on('confirm', function(e){
   var btn = $(this),
        id = btn.data('id');
   //do something
});

Examples

Bootstrap theme:

$(function(){
  $('[data-toggle="confirm"]').jConfirm({
    theme: 'bootstrap-4'
  });
});

or globally:

$.jConfirm.defaults.theme = 'bootstrap-4';

Preferred positioning:

$(function(){
  $('[data-toggle="confirm"]').jConfirm({
    position: 'right'
  });
});

Follow link on confirm:

<a href="https://htmlguy.com" 
    class="btn btn-secondary outside-link">
    Send
</a>

$('.outside-link').jConfirm({
    question:'You are about to visit an external site, are you sure you want to leave?',
    confirm_text: 'Yes, let\'s go!',
    deny_text:' No way!',
    follow_href: true,
});

Custom question and button text using data attributes:

<a href="#" 
    class="btn btn-secondary send-email" 
    data-question="Are you ready to send your message?" 
    data-confirm_text="Yes, send now" 
    data-deny_text="No, cancel">
    Send
</a>

$('.send-email').jConfirm().on('confirm', function(e){
   //send email
});

Overriding the confirm and deny buttons to create a custom tooltip:

<a href="#" class="btn btn-primary social-share" data-url-to-share="https://htmlguy.com">
Share
</a>

$('.social-share').jConfirm({
    question: 'Share to your favorite social media sites!',
    btns: [
        {
            text:'Facebook',
            event:'facebook-share',
            class:'facebook-btn jc-button-highlight'
        },
        {
            text:'Twitter',
            event:'twitter-share',
            class:'twitter-btn jc-button-highlight'
        }
    ]
}).on('facebook-share', function(e){
    var btn = $(this);
    console.log('Sharing to facebook: '+btn.data('url-to-share'));
}).on('twitter-share', function(e){
    var btn = $(this);
    console.log('Sharing to twitter: '+btn.data('url-to-share'));
});
