Confirming ng-click

Works with regular boolean- or promise-returning functions.

<button ng-click="popAlert()" confirm-click="Want to see a popup?">pop alert</button>

Configure custom popup function

Use ConfirmClickProvider function to set ask function. This function will be used for href and ng-href confirmation.

<script>
// just to show 3rd party confirm, should return a boolean
function ask(question) {
  return confirm(question);
}
angular.module('ClickApp', ['confirm-click'])
  .config(function (ConfirmClickProvider) {
    ConfirmClickProvider.ask(ask);
  });
</script>
<a ng-href="http://github.com" confirm-click="Go to github?">github.com</a>

Custom popup function for ng-click

Can return a promise, should resolve with false to stop the action, or with true to continue. For example to use alertify.js to confirm, we can use

<script>
angular.module('ClickApp', ['confirm-click'])
  .config(function (ConfirmClickProvider) {
    ConfirmClickProvider.ask(function (question) {
      return new Promise(function (resolve) {
        alertify.confirm(question, resolve);
      });
    });
  })
</script>
<button ng-click="popAlert()" confirm-click="Want to see a popup?">pop alert</button>

A good library wrapping alertify into promise-returning methods is kensho/ng-alertify.

See demo page for live example.
