# react-native-alert-async

An Alert.alert() that you can await 

```jsx

import AlertAsync from "react-native-alert-async";

const myAction = async () => {

  const choice = await AlertAsync(

    'Title',

    'Message',

    [

      {text: 'Yes', onPress: () => 'yes'},

      {text: 'No', onPress: () => Promise.resolve('no')},

    ],

    {

      cancelable: true,

      onDismiss: () => 'no',

    },

  );

  if (choice === 'yes') {

    await doSomething();

  }

  else {

    await doSomethingElse();

  }

}

```

It always returns a promise, and that promise is guaranteed to resolve after the user made his choice.

It's just a wrapper around the original RN API so it's very tiny and does not require native code/linking, and is compatible with Expo.

There is an existing [RN PR](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/20312) waiting to be merged with this feature. In the meantime you can use this package.

I use this in production for a long time and it's reliable.
