javascript - Replace 'Prompt' in on Electron

Question

How to replace the function of javascript prompt in electron?

Can someone give me an example?

I tried to use the function prompt, but got an error:

Uncaught Error: prompt() is and will not be supported.

Answer 1

prompt, confirm and alert are functions which blocks the execution thread of the script until a user input and that's the reason electron team didn't supported it. Instead you can use some third party package for the same reason.

Here are some packages which provides this functionality in async way

https://www.npmjs.com/package/smalltalk

https://www.npmjs.com/package/vex-js

https://www.npmjs.com/package/dialogs
