<dialog> Development

The <dialog> component is custom pop-up container for showing critical information or calling for an action. For details, see dialog.

Creating a <dialog> Component

Create a <dialog> component in the .hml file under pages/index and add <button> components to trigger the <dialog>. The <dialog> component supports only the width, height, margin, margin-[left|top|right|bottom], and margin-[start|end] styles.

<!-- xxx.hml -->
<div class="doc-page">
  <dialog class="dialogClass" id="dialogId" dragable="true">
    <div class="content">
      <text>this is a dialog</text>
    </div>
  </dialog>
  <button value="click me" onclick="opendialog"></button>
</div>

/* xxx.css */
.doc-page {
  width:100%;
  height:100%;
  flex-direction: column;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  background-color: #F1F3F5;
}
.dialogClass{
  width: 80%;
  height: 250px;
  margin-start: 1%;
}
.content{
  width: 100%;
  height: 250px;
  justify-content: center;
  background-color: #e8ebec;
  border-radius: 20px;
}
text{
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  text-align: center;
}
button{
  width: 70%;
  height: 60px;
}

// xxx.js
export default {
  //Touch to open the dialog box.
  opendialog(){
    this.$element('dialogId').show()
  },
}

Setting Dialog Box Response

Add a cancel event that is triggered when a user touches a non-dialog area to cancel the pop-up dialog box. Add the show and close methods to display and close the dialog box, respectively.

<!-- xxx.hml -->
<div class="doc-page">
  <dialog class="dialogClass" id="dialogId" oncancel="canceldialog">
    <div class="dialogDiv">
      <text>dialog</text>
      <button value="confirm" onclick="confirmClick"></button>
    </div>
  </dialog>
  <button value="click me" onclick="opendialog"></button>
</div>

/* xxx.css */
.doc-page {
  width:100%;
  height:100%;
  flex-direction: column;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  background-color: #F1F3F5;
}
.dialogClass{
  width: 80%;
  height: 300px;
  margin-start: 1%;
}
.dialogDiv{
  width: 100%;
  flex-direction: column;
  justify-content: center;
  align-self: center;
}
text{
  height: 100px;
  align-self: center;
}
button{
  align-self: center;
  margin-top: 20px;
  width: 60%;
  height: 80px;
}

// xxx.js
import promptAction from '@ohos.promptAction';
export default {
  canceldialog(e){
    promptAction.showToast({
      message: 'dialogCancel'
    })
  },
  opendialog(){
    this.$element('dialogId').show()
     promptAction.showToast({
      message: 'dialogShow'
    })
  },
  confirmClick(e) {
    this.$element('dialogId').close()
    promptAction.showToast({
      message: 'dialogClose'
    })
  },
}

NOTE

• This component supports only one child component.

• Attributes and styles of a <dialog> component cannot be dynamically updated.

• The <dialog> component does not support the focusable and click-effect attributes.

Example Scenario

Use the <dialog> component to implement a schedule. When the dialog box is open, use the <textarea> component to add an event and touch the OK button to obtain the current time and save the input text. The events in the calendar are displayed in a list.

<!-- xxx.hml -->
<div class="doc-page">
  <text style="margin-top: 60px;margin-left: 30px;">
    <span>{{date}} events</span>
  </text>
  <div class="btndiv">
    <button type="circle" class="btn" onclick="addschedule">+</button>
  </div>
<!--  for Render events data  -->
  <list style="width: 100%;">
    <list-item type="item" for="schedulelist" style="width:100%;height: 200px;">
      <div class="schedulediv">
        <text class="text1">{{date}}  event</text>
        <text class="text2">{{$item.schedule}}</text>
      </div>
    </list-item>
  </list>
  <dialog id="datedialog" oncancel="canceldialog" >
    <div class="dialogdiv">
      <div class="innertxt">
        <text class="text3">{{date}}</text>
        <text class="text4">New event</text>
      </div>
      <textarea placeholder="Event information" onchange="getschedule" class="area" extend="true"></textarea>
      <div class="innerbtn">
        <button type="text" value="Cancel" onclick="cancelschedule" class="btntxt"></button>
        <button type="text" value="OK" onclick="setschedule" class="btntxt"></button>
      </div>
    </div>
  </dialog>
