import React from 'react';
import { confirm } from 'devextreme/ui/dialog';

class App extends React.Component {
    componentDidMount() { 
        let result = confirm("<i>Are you sure?</i>", "Confirm changes");
        result.then((dialogResult) => {
            alert(dialogResult ? "Confirmed" : "Canceled");

export default App;

custom(options)

Creates a dialog with custom buttons.

import { DxDialogTypes } from "devextreme-vue/dialog"

Parameters:

options:

Object

The dialog's properties.

Object structure:

Name	Type	Description
buttons	Array<Button Configuration>	Buttons to be displayed in the dialog.
dragEnabled	Boolean	Specifies whether the dialog window can be dragged. Defaults to the showTitle value. Ensure the showTitle field is not explicitly set to false because a user can drag the dialog only by its title.
message	String	Use 'messageHtml' instead. The dialog's message. Deprecated in favor of the messageHtml field.
messageHtml	String	The dialog's message. Can contain HTML elements.
showTitle	Boolean	Specifies whether to show the title. Defaults to true.
title	String	The dialog's title.

Return Value:

Object

An object that represents the dialog.

The dialog's message can contain HTML markup. Make sure this markup is secure.

The custom(options) method only creates a dialog. To display it, call the dialog instance's show() method. This method returns a Promise. To identify the clicked button, implement a Promise fulfillment handler. The dialog result is passed to the handler and contains anything you return from the clicked button's onClick function.

In the following code, the clicked button is identified by its text. The messageHtml field contains text with HTML tags.

App.js

import React from 'react';
import { custom } from 'devextreme/ui/dialog';
import { encodeHtml } from 'devextreme/core/utils/string';

class App extends React.Component {
    componentDidMount() {
        let myDialog = custom({
            title: "Custom dialog",
            messageHtml: "<b>Dialog with custom buttons</b>",
            buttons: [{
                text: "button 1",
                onClick: (e) => {
                    return { buttonText: e.component.option("text") }
                }
            }, 
            // ...
            ]
        });
        myDialog.show().then((dialogResult) => {
            console.log(dialogResult.buttonText);
        });
    }
}
export default App;

Call the hide() method to close the dialog before any button is clicked. In the following code, the dialog is closed after 5 seconds if a user does not click any button:

setTimeout(function() { myDialog.hide(); }, 5000);
