// or

let alert = UIAlertController(style: .alert)

```



- Set and styling title



```swift

alert.set(title: "Title", font: .systemFont(ofSize: 20), color: .black)

// or

alert.setTitle(font: .systemFont(ofSize: 20), color: .black)

```



- Set and styling message



```swift

alert.set(message: "Message", font: .systemFont(ofSize: 16), color: .black)

// or

alert.setMessage(font: .systemFont(ofSize: 16), color: .black)

```

- Add button with image



```swift

alert.addAction(image: image, title: "Title", color: .black, style: .default) { action in

    // completion handler

}

```



* Show Alert



```swift

// show alert

alert.show()



// or show alert with options

alert.show(animated: true, vibrate: true) {

    // completion handler

}

```










## Set Content ViewController



When setting your own custom `UIViewController` into `UIAlertController` keep in mind to set `prefferedContentSize.height` of the controller otherwise it will no effect. You can not set `prefferedContentSize.width`.



```swift

let alert = UIAlertController(style: .alert, title: "Title")

let vc = CustomViewController()

vc.preferredContentSize.height = height

alert.setValue(vc, forKey: "contentViewController")

alert.show()



// or

let alert = UIAlertController(style: .alert, title: "Title")

let vc = CustomViewController()

alert.set(vc: vc, height: height)

alert.show()

```



## Pickers

For UX better to use `.actionSheet` style in `UIAlertController` when set picker into `contentViewController`. If you like you can use `.alert` style as well, buy `.actionSheet` style is wider and User can see more as well as action button is placing at bottom that also more convenience for User to touch it.



**UITextField**

In native UIAlertController you can only add `UITextField` to `.alert` style with default style and you can not change such properties as `.borderColor`, `.borderWidth`, `.frame.size` and so on. But if you make your own `UIViewController` with `UITextField`, it will solve all these problems.



## One TextField Picker



You can use both styles `.alert` and `.actionSheet` of `UIAlertController`.












```swift

let alert = UIAlertController(style: self.alertStyle, title: "TextField")                  

let config: TextField.Config = { textField in

    textField.becomeFirstResponder()

    textField.textColor = .black

    textField.placeholder = "Type something"

    textField.left(image: image, color: .black)

    textField.leftViewPadding = 12

    textField.borderWidth = 1

    textField.cornerRadius = 8

    textField.borderColor = UIColor.lightGray.withAlphaComponent(0.5)

    textField.backgroundColor = nil

    textField.keyboardAppearance = .default

    textField.keyboardType = .default

    textField.isSecureTextEntry = true

    textField.returnKeyType = .done

    textField.action { textField in

        // validation and so on

    }

}              

alert.addOneTextField(configuration: config)

alert.addAction(title: "OK", style: .cancel)

alert.show()

```



## Two TextFields Picker



You can use both styles `.alert` and `.actionSheet` of `UIAlertController`.












```swift

let alert = UIAlertController(style: .alert, title: "Login")



let configOne: TextField.Config = { textField in

    textField.left(image: user), color: .black)

    textField.leftViewPadding = 16

    textField.leftTextPadding = 12

    textField.becomeFirstResponder()

    textField.backgroundColor = nil

    textField.textColor = .black

    textField.placeholder = "Name"

    textField.clearButtonMode = .whileEditing

    textField.keyboardAppearance = .default

    textField.keyboardType = .default

    textField.returnKeyType = .done

    textField.action { textField in

        // action with input

    }

}



let configTwo: TextField.Config = { textField in

    textField.textColor = .black

    textField.placeholder = "Password"

    textField.left(image: lock, color: .black)

    textField.leftViewPadding = 16

    textField.leftTextPadding = 12

    textField.borderWidth = 1

    textField.borderColor = UIColor.lightGray.withAlphaComponent(0.5)

    textField.backgroundColor = nil

    textField.clearsOnBeginEditing = true

    textField.keyboardAppearance = .default

    textField.keyboardType = .default

    textField.isSecureTextEntry = true

    textField.returnKeyType = .done

    textField.action { textField in

        // action with input

    }

}

// vInset - is top and bottom margin of two textFields   

alert.addTwoTextFields(vInset: 12, textFieldOne: configOne, textFieldTwo: configTwo)

alert.addAction(title: "OK", style: .cancel)

alert.show()

```



## DatePicker



`UIDatePicker` does not look very much in `.alert` style.












```swift

let alert = UIAlertController(style: .actionSheet, title: "Select date")

alert.addDatePicker(mode: .dateAndTime, date: date, minimumDate: minDate, maximumDate: maxDate) { date in

    // action with selected date

}

alert.addAction(title: "OK", style: .cancel)

alert.show()

```



## PickerView



Example how to use `UIPickerView` as `contentViewController` and change height of the `UIAlertController`.












```swift

let alert = UIAlertController(style: .actionSheet, title: "Picker View", message: "Preferred Content Height")



let frameSizes: [CGFloat] = (150...400).map { CGFloat($0) }

let pickerViewValues: [[String]] = [frameSizes.map { Int($0).description }]

let pickerViewSelectedValue: PickerViewViewController.Index = (column: 0, row: frameSizes.index(of: 216) ?? 0)



alert.addPickerView(values: pickerViewValues, initialSelection: pickerViewSelectedValue) { vc, picker, index, values in

    DispatchQueue.main.async {

        UIView.animate(withDuration: 1) {

            vc.preferredContentSize.height = frameSizes[index.row]

        }

    }

}

alert.addAction(title: "Done", style: .cancel)

alert.show()

```



## Locale Pickers



* #### Country Picker












```swift

let alert = UIAlertController(style: .actionSheet, message: "Select Country")

alert.addLocalePicker(type: .country) { info in

    // action with selected object

}

alert.addAction(title: "OK", style: .cancel)

alert.show()

```



* #### Phone Code Picker












```swift

let alert = UIAlertController(style: .actionSheet, title: "Phone Codes")

alert.addLocalePicker(type: .phoneCode) { info in

    // action with selected object

}

alert.addAction(title: "OK", style: .cancel)

alert.show()

```



* #### Currency Picker












```swift

let alert = UIAlertController(style: .actionSheet, title: "Currencies")

alert.addLocalePicker(type: .currency) { info in

    alert.title = info?.currencyCode

    alert.message = "is selected"

    // action with selected object

}

alert.addAction(title: "OK", style: .cancel)

alert.show()

```



## Image Picker












* Horizontal Image Picker with paging and single selection:



```swift

let alert = UIAlertController(style: .actionSheet)

let photos: [UIImage] = images

alert.addImagePicker(

    flow: .horizontal,

    paging: true,

    images: photos,

    selection: .single(action: { [unowned self] image in

        // action with selected image

    }))

alert.addAction(title: "OK", style: .cancel)

alert.show()

```



* Vertical Image Picker w/o paging and with multiple selection:



```swift

let alert = UIAlertController(style: .actionSheet)

let photos: [UIImage] = images

alert.addImagePicker(

    flow: .vertical,

    paging: false,

    height: UIScreen.main.bounds.height,

    images: photos,

    selection: .multiple(action: { [unowned self] images in

        // action with selected images

    }))

alert.addAction(title: "OK", style: .cancel)

alert.show()

```



## PhotoLibrary Picker

let alert = UIAlertController(style: .actionSheet)

alert.addPhotoLibraryPicker(

    flow: .horizontal,

    paging: true,

    selection: .single(action: { image in

        // action with selected image

    }))

alert.addAction(title: "Cancel", style: .cancel)

alert.show()

```



## ColorPicker



Example how to use UIViewController instantiated from Storyboard with Autolayout as `contentViewController` in the `UIAlertController`.












```swift

let alert = UIAlertController(style: .actionSheet)

alert.addColorPicker(color: color) { color in

    // action with selected color

}

alert.addAction(title: "Done", style: .cancel)

alert.show()

```

alert.show()

```



## Location Picker










```swift

let alert = UIAlertController(style: .actionSheet)

alert.addLocationPicker { location in

    // action with location

let alert = UIAlertController(style: .actionSheet)

alert.addTelegramPicker { result in

    switch result {

      case .photo(let assets):

        // action with assets

      case .contact(let contact):

        // action with contact

alert.addTextViewer(text: .attributedText(text))

alert.addAction(title: "OK", style: .cancel)

alert.show()

```



## Alerts vs. Action Sheets



There are some things to keep in mind when using `.actionSheet` and `.alert` styles:



* Pickers better to use in `.actionSheet` style.

* `UITextField` can be used in both styles.
