Here we're using React Native Alert, an API to display an alert dialogue with a specified message and title. This API uses an alert () method to prompt an alert dialog.


One of the useful functions that the native has is the alert() function which will display text in a dialog box that pops up on the screen. Before we're going to work on this function, we must first the showAlert() function. Functions in JavaScript are called in response to events. The type of function we're calling alert that allows us to display any message or warning in a browser window and it is often used to convey important information to users. An alert box pops up in a browser window whenever we used the alert() function and the browser loses its focus on the current window. This Alert dialog delivers different lists of buttons like a combination of neutral, negative, and positive to perform an action. onPress callback method invoked by pressing any of these buttons calls and dismissing the alert. Alert has only a positive (OK) button by default.


Syntax of the alert() method: alert(message/warning);


Here is an example of how you can switch alert to regular message in React:

function FancyBorder(props) {
  return (
    <div className={"FancyBorder FancyBorder-" + props.color}>
      {" "}
      {props.children}{" "}
    </div>
  );
}

function Dialog(props) {
  return (
    <FancyBorder color="blue">
      {" "}
      <h1 className="Dialog-title"> {props.title} </h1>{" "}
      <p className="Dialog-message"> {props.message} </p>
      {props.children}{" "}
    </FancyBorder>
  );
}

class SignUpDialog extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.handleChange = this.handleChange.bind(this);
    this.handleSignUp = this.handleSignUp.bind(this);
    this.state = {
      login: "",
      paragraphText: ""
    };
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <Dialog
        title="Mars Exploration Program"
        message="How should we refer to you?"
      >
        <input value={this.state.login} onChange={this.handleChange} />{" "}
        <button onClick={this.handleSignUp}> Sign Me Up! </button>{" "}
        <p>{this.state.paragraphText}</p>
      </Dialog>
    );
  }
  handleChange(e) {
    this.setState({ login: e.target.value });
  }

  handleSignUp() {
    this.setState({
      paragraphText: `Welcome aboard, ${this.state.login}!`
    });
  }
}

Instructions

Follow the steps carefully to get the output easily.

  1. Install the Node.js and React on your IDE(preferable Visual Studio Code).
  2. Create React Application using npx create-react-app foldername.
  3. cd foldername.
  4. Open the folder in IDE.
  5. Copy the code using "copy" button above and paste it in app.js file(remove the earlier code from app.js).
  6. Import React library.
  7. Add export default statement at end of the code(like 'export default SignUpDialog;').
  8. Open the terminal from IDE.
  9. npm start to run the file.


I hope you found this useful. I have added the link to dependent libraries, version information in the following sections.


I found this code snippet by searching for 'how to switch alert to regular message in react' in kandi. You can try any such use case!

Environment Tested

I tested this solution in the following versions. Be mindful of changes when working with other versions.

  1. The solution is created in Visual Studio Code 1.73.1.
