JavaScript/jQuery Action Sheet - Basics

The JavaScript ActionSheet component is a pop-up sheet that contains a set of buttons. These buttons allow users to perform custom actions related to a single task (call, send a message, delete, or edit a selected contact). This demo shows how to create a simple JavaScript ActionSheet and handle button clicks.

const actionSheetItems = [ { text: 'Call' }, { text: 'Send message' }, { text: 'Edit' }, { text: 'Delete' }, ];

Specify Buttons and Title

JavaScript ActionSheet can contain multiple buttons. To specify and configure them, use one of these properties:

  • items[]
    Accepts a local data array.

  • dataSource
    Accepts a local data array or a DataSource object. This object works with local and remote arrays and allows you to shape data.

For each button, you can specify a text, type, icon, template, and other properties. In this demo, the JavaScript ActionSheet buttons are configured in a local array assigned to the dataSource property. Each button includes the text property only.

If you want to display a title, assign the text to the title property.

Handle Button Clicks

You can assign a function to the onItemClick property to handle button clicks. Use the e.itemData field within the function to determine which button was clicked. You can also use the onCancelClick property handle a click on the built-in Cancel button. In this demo, the JavaScript ActionSheet component displays a notification with the button's name when you click a button.
