Alert

A SwiftUI Alert component for presenting native iOS alert dialogs.

iOS

tvOS

Included in Expo Go

GitHub

npm

Changelog

Recommended version:

~56.0.26

Expo UI Alert matches the official SwiftUI alert API and presents a native iOS alert dialog with a title, actions, and an optional message.

Alert asking the user to confirm signing out

Alert is the centered modal counterpart to ConfirmationDialog, which renders as an action sheet from the bottom of the screen. Both share the same trigger/actions/message slot model so callers can swap between them by changing the component name.

Installation

Terminal

- npx expo install @expo/ui

- yarn expo install @expo/ui

- pnpm expo install @expo/ui

- bun expo install @expo/ui

If you are installing this in an existing React Native app, make sure to install expo in your project.

Usage

Basic alert

Use Alert.Trigger to define the visible element and Alert.Actions to provide the dialog buttons.

BasicAlertExample.tsx

import { useState } from 'react';
import { Host, Alert, Button } from '@expo/ui/swift-ui';

export default function BasicAlertExample() {
  const [isPresented, setIsPresented] = useState(false);

  return (
    <Host matchContents>
      <Alert title="Saved" isPresented={isPresented} onIsPresentedChange={setIsPresented}>
        <Alert.Trigger>
          <Button label="Show alert" onPress={() => setIsPresented(true)} />
        </Alert.Trigger>
        <Alert.Actions>
          <Button label="OK" onPress={() => setIsPresented(false)} />
        </Alert.Actions>
      </Alert>
    </Host>
  );
}

Cancel and confirm

Combine role="cancel" with a confirm button to build a standard yes/no alert.

CancelConfirmAlertExample.tsx

import { useState } from 'react';
import { Host, Alert, Button, Text } from '@expo/ui/swift-ui';

export default function CancelConfirmAlertExample() {
  const [isPresented, setIsPresented] = useState(false);

  return (
    <Host matchContents>
      <Alert title="Sign out?" isPresented={isPresented} onIsPresentedChange={setIsPresented}>
        <Alert.Trigger>
          <Button label="Sign out" onPress={() => setIsPresented(true)} />
        </Alert.Trigger>
        <Alert.Actions>
          <Button label="Sign Out" onPress={() => console.log('Signed out')} />
          <Button label="Cancel" role="cancel" />
        </Alert.Actions>
        <Alert.Message>
          <Text>You will need to sign in again to access your account.</Text>
        </Alert.Message>
      </Alert>
    </Host>
  );
}

Destructive action

Use role="destructive" on a Button inside Alert.Actions to style it as a destructive action.

DestructiveAlertExample.tsx

import { useState } from 'react';
import { Host, Alert, Button, Text } from '@expo/ui/swift-ui';

export default function DestructiveAlertExample() {
  const [isPresented, setIsPresented] = useState(false);

  return (
    <Host matchContents>
      <Alert title="Delete account?" isPresented={isPresented} onIsPresentedChange={setIsPresented}>
        <Alert.Trigger>
          <Button label="Delete account" role="destructive" onPress={() => setIsPresented(true)} />
        </Alert.Trigger>
        <Alert.Actions>
          <Button
            label="Delete"
            role="destructive"
            onPress={() => {
              console.log('Deleted');
              setIsPresented(false);
            }}
          />
          <Button label="Cancel" role="cancel" />
        </Alert.Actions>
        <Alert.Message>
          <Text>This permanently deletes your account and all data. This cannot be undone.</Text>
        </Alert.Message>
      </Alert>
    </Host>
  );
}
