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 so they can access the content.
- Give your button(s)/link(s) the ‘Call a Nanoflow’ action, using the JavaScript actions directly or use the nanoflows starting with SUB_.
- 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 (but it would help for customization).
- 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
- Is not currently plug-and-play, will require the steps below.
- Real-time alerts are not possible without extra code or use of something like the microflow timer widget.
- Not all Animate.css animation seem to work as well as others when used on toast notifications.
Additional Required Configuration
- Locate the ‘vendor’ folder in the following directory: C:\PATH\TO\MENDIX\PROJECT\javascriptsource\sweetalert2
- Copy the ‘vendor’ folder into the projects main theme folder, where index.html can be found
- Reference the contents of the ‘vendor’ folder into the head element of the index.html file in your theme folder.
- If you do not have an index.html file in your theme folder, you should be able to find one in the deployment/web folder, after running your project at least once.
- Use this code:
- Re-run the application
