use-async-confirm

Async, headless useConfirm hook that you can await on.

• Async: returns async confirm that you can await on
• Headless: No markup, context or provider to add. You get plain functions from hook that you can compose according to your needs.
• Better DX: All the control flow stays in your event handler (e.g. onClick). You can simply await on the confirm callback and go on with your app logic

v1.x is compatible with React v18.

Installation

# pnpm
pnpm add use-async-confirm

# npm
npm install use-async-confirm

Quick Example

// Example usage
import { useConfirm } from "use-async-confirm"

function MyComponent() {
    const { confirm, onConfirm, onCancel, open, onOpenChange } = useConfirm()

    const handleConfirm = async function () {
        // control flow stays in your event handler
        // you can just await on confirm
        const confirmed = await confirm()

        if (confirmed === true) {
            // confirmed action
            alert("User confirmed the action")
        } else {
            // user cancelled the action
            alert("User cancelled the action")
        }
    }

    return (
        <div>
            <Button onClick={handleConfirm}>Delete</Button>
            <MyModal open={open} onOpenChange={onOpenChange}>
                <button onClick={onConfirm}>Confirm</button>
                <button onClick={onCancel}>Cancel</button>
            </MyModal>
        </div>
    )
}

Usage

Import useConfirm

About

Works well with shadcn or other UI libraries as it is headless and gives you complete control over how you compose the hooks. Run pnpm dev locally to see an example of shadcn integration.
