Material-UI confirm

Confirming user choice is a good thing to do, it should also be easy to do.

This package provides simple confirmation dialogs built on top of @mui/material and straightforward to use thanks to React Hooks.

Installation

npm install --save material-ui-confirm

Demo

Usage

Wrap your app inside the ConfirmProvider component.
Note: If you're using Material UI ThemeProvider, make sure ConfirmProvider is a child of it.

import React from "react";
import { ConfirmProvider } from "material-ui-confirm";

const App = () => {
  return <ConfirmProvider>{/* ... */}</ConfirmProvider>;
};

export default App;

Call the useConfirm hook wherever you need the confirm function.
Note: A component calling useConfirm must be a child of ConfirmProvider.

import React from "react";
import Button from "@mui/material/Button";
import { useConfirm } from "material-ui-confirm";

const Item = () => {
  const confirm = useConfirm();

  const handleClick = () => {
    confirm({ description: "This action is permanent!" })
      .then(() => {
        /* ... */
      })
      .catch(() => {
        /* ... */
      });
  };

  return <Button onClick={handleClick}>Click</Button>;
};

export default Item;

Useful notes

Confirm by pressing Enter

You can get this behavior by adding the autoFocus property to the confirmation button. This way the button is focused as soon as the dialog opens and hitting Enter naturally triggers a click.

Locally

const MyComponent = () => {
  // ...

  const handleClick = () => {
    confirm({ confirmationButtonProps: { autoFocus: true } })
      .then(() => {
        /* ... */
      })
      .catch(() => {
        /* ... */
      });
  };

  // ...
};

Globally

const App = () => {
  return (
    <ConfirmProvider
      defaultOptions={{
        confirmationButtonProps: { autoFocus: true },
      }}
    >
      {/* ... */}
    </ConfirmProvider>
  );
};
