AlertIOS
AlertIOS
provides functionality to create an iOS alert dialog with a message or create a prompt for user input.
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),
);
We recommend using the Alert.alert
method for cross-platform support if you don't need to create iOS-only prompts.
