SweetAlert2 Module for Mendix
Getting Started
NOTE: The basic modal and toast will not require any additional setup. The modals for user input, countdown/timer, and chaining will require alterations to fit your needs.
How to Use
- Download the module and give all users the User role.
- Give your click event(s) the 'Call a Nanoflow' action, placing the desired JS action or prebuilt sub-nanoflows where you want the modal or toast to fire.
- If using only the nanoflow, create your decision paths and configure the parameters for the sub-nanoflow.
- If calling microflow from nanoflow, return a status or value that would allow your nanoflow to fire the alerts based on the return of your microflow.
- Feed in your parameters based on your decision path.
Features
- Does not require context
- Allows custom HTML message content.
- Relies on nanoflows which will help reduce server-side processing normally done with only microflows.
- Animate.css integration.
- Parts of modals can be given custom classes.
Limitations
