@blazejkustra/react-native-alert

✨ Universal, customizable alerts and prompts for React Native — identical API to the built-in Alert, but works seamlessly across iOS, Android, and Web.

🚀 Features

• Cross-platform – iOS, Android, Web with one API
• Drop-in replacement – same API as Alert
• Prompts everywhere – text input prompts supported on all platforms
• Modern Web implementation – built with <dialog> + CSS custom properties
• Dark/light themes – automatic with manual override
• Accessible – full keyboard navigation + screen reader support
• TypeScript ready – complete type definitions

📦 Installation

npm install @blazejkustra/react-native-alert

No extra setup needed on iOS or Android (just rebuild your app). On Web, styles are injected automatically and can be customized with CSS variables.

🛠 Usage

Basic Alert

import Alert from '@blazejkustra/react-native-alert';

Alert.alert('Hello!', 'This is a cross-platform alert.');

Alert with Buttons

Alert.alert(
  'Confirm',
  'Do you want to continue?',
  [
    { text: 'Cancel', style: 'cancel' },
    { text: 'OK', style: 'default' },
  ]
);

Destructive Alert

Alert.alert(
  'Delete item?',
  'This action cannot be undone.',
  [
    { text: 'Cancel', style: 'cancel' },
    { text: 'Delete', style: 'destructive' },
  ]
);

Prompt

Alert.prompt(
  'Enter your name',
  'Please type your name below:',
  [
    { text: 'Cancel', style: 'cancel' },
    { text: 'OK', onPress: (value) => console.log('Name:', value) },
  ],
  'plain-text',
  'John Doe'
);

Secure Prompt

Alert.prompt(
  'Password',
  'Enter your password:',
  [
    { text: 'Cancel', style: 'cancel' },
    { text: 'OK', onPress: () => console.log('Password entered') },
  ],
  'secure-text'
);

📖 API

Same as React Native Alert.

📱 Platform Notes

• iOS – uses React Native's built-in Alert.alert and Alert.prompt
• Android – uses React Native's built-in Alert.alert and custom native module with Material styling for Alert.prompt
• Web – HTML5 <dialog>, themeable via CSS variables

🎨 Web Customization

Override CSS variables to match your design system:

:root {
  --rn-alert-accent: #059669;   /* Primary button */
  --rn-alert-danger: #dc2626;   /* Destructive button */
  --rn-alert-bg: #fefefe;       /* Dialog background */
  --rn-alert-fg: #111827;       /* Text color */
  --rn-alert-radius: 16px;        /* Border radius */
}

@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
  :root:not([data-theme]) {
    ...
  }
}

Available variables:

• --rn-alert-bg – dialog background
