AlertIOS

Use AlertIOS to display an alert dialog with a message or to create a prompt for user input on iOS. If you don't need to prompt for user input, we recommend using Alert.alert() for cross-platform support.

Examples

Creating an iOS alert:

AlertIOS.alert(
 'Sync Complete',
 'All your data are belong to us.'
);

Creating an iOS prompt:

AlertIOS.prompt(
  'Enter a value',
  null,
  text => console.log("You entered "+text)
);

Example with custom buttons:

AlertIOS.alert(
  'Update available',
  'Keep your app up to date to enjoy the latest features',
  [
    {
      text: 'Cancel',
      onPress: () => console.log('Cancel Pressed'),
      style: 'cancel',
    },
    {
      text: 'Install',
      onPress: () => console.log('Install Pressed'),
    },
  ],
);

Example with custom buttons:

AlertIOS.prompt(
  'Enter password',
  'Enter your password to claim your $1.5B in lottery winnings',
  [
    {
      text: 'Cancel',
      onPress: () => console.log('Cancel Pressed'),
      style: 'cancel',
    },
    {
      text: 'OK',
      onPress: (password) => console.log('OK Pressed, password: ' + password),
    },
  ],
  'secure-text',
);

Example with the default button and a custom callback:

AlertIOS.prompt(
  'Update username',
  null,
  (text) => console.log('Your username is ' + text),
  null,
  'default',
);
