AlertIOS
AlertIOS
provides functionality to create an iOS alert dialog with a message or create a prompt for user input.
Creating an iOS alert:
AlertIOS.alert(
'Sync Complete',
'All your data are belong to us.'
);
Creating an iOS prompt:
AlertIOS.prompt(
'Enter a value',
null,
text => console.log("You entered "+text)
);
We recommend using the Alert.alert
method for cross-platform support if you don't need to create iOS-only prompts.
