Add confim()

[thlehmann-ionos]

Background

• OC.dialogs.confirm is to be deprecated in Nextcloud 30, but it's not yet included in the dialogs package
• confirm() was also never declared in typings

Request

confirm()

• to be added in one of the next releases
• to be declared as type in "typings"

Workaround

Adding this as src/oc.d.ts to a typscript-able app:

/// <reference types="@nextcloud/typings" />

declare namespace Nextcloud28WithPolyfills {
    interface DialogsPolyfill {
        confirm(
            title: string,
            message: string,
            callback: Function,
            modal: boolean): void;
    }

    interface OC extends Nextcloud.v28.OC {
        dialogs: Nextcloud.Common.Dialogs & DialogsPolyfill;
    }
}

declare var OC: Nextcloud28WithPolyfills;

If you use Vue then I recommend simply directly using NcDialog from @nextcloud/vue.

If not you can use this library, as the replacement for the deprecated function is to use the DialogBuilder from this library, see: https://nextcloud-libraries.github.io/nextcloud-dialogs/classes/index.DialogBuilder.html

Thanks for pointing that out.

Note: unfortunately, <NcDialog> leads to repetition and possibly inconsistent UI because every confirm dialog has to be re-implemented (icon, button order). ´. Same for the DialogBuilder, which is a bit better because it includes the facility for that, but still repeated code.
