# [Confirm dialog component](../../../lib/content-services/dialogs/confirm.dialog.ts "Defined in confirm.dialog.ts")

Requests a yes/no choice from the user.

![Confirm dialog](../../docassets/images/ConfirmDialog.png)

## Basic Usage

```ts
constructor(private dialog: MatDialog) {}

...

let files = [
    // Files defined here...
];

const dialogRef = this.dialog.open(ConfirmDialogComponent, {
    data: {
        title: 'Upload',
        message: `Are you sure you want to upload ${files.length} file(s)?`
    },
    minWidth: '250px'
});

dialogRef.afterClosed().subscribe((result) => {
    if (result === true) {
        event.resumeUpload();
    }
});
```

### Rendering custom html body
It is possible now to render a custom html instead of a plain message as confirm body via the attribute `htmlContent`. The html will be sanitized and then showed. 


```ts
constructor(private dialog: MatDialog) {}

...

let files = [
    // Files defined here...
];

const dialogRef = this.dialog.open(ConfirmDialogComponent, {
    data: {
        title: 'Upload',
        htmlContent: '<div> <p>A</p> <p>Custom</p> <p>Content</p> </div>'
    },
    minWidth: '250px'
});

dialogRef.afterClosed().subscribe((result) => {
    if (result === true) {
        event.resumeUpload();
    }
});
```

## Details

This component lets the user make a yes/no choice to confirm an action. Use the
Angular [`MatDialog`](https://material.angular.io/components/dialog/overview)
service to open the dialog, as shown in the example, and pass a `data` object
with properties for the `title` and `message` to show. The `afterClosed` event
of the [`MatDialog`](https://material.angular.io/components/dialog/overview)
gives you the user's choice via the `result` parameter.
