Here’s a comparison of a standard error message. The first one uses the built-in alert-function, while the second is using SweetAlert2.
alert('Oops! Something went wrong!')
swal( 'Oops...', 'Something went wrong!', 'error' )
Pretty cool huh? SweetAlert2 automatically centers itself on the page and looks great no matter if you're using a desktop computer, mobile or tablet. It's even highly customizeable, as you can see below!
A title with a text under
swal( 'The Internet?', 'That thing is still around?', 'question' )
A success message!
swal( 'Good job!', 'You clicked the button!', 'success' )
A message with auto close timer
swal({
title: 'Auto close alert!',
text: 'I will close in 2 seconds.',
timer: 2000
})
Custom HTML description and buttons
swal({
title: '<i>HTML</i> <u>example</u>',
type: 'info',
html:
'You can use <b>bold text</b>, ' +
'<a href="//github.com">links</a> ' +
'and other HTML tags',
showCloseButton: true,
showCancelButton: true,
confirmButtonText:
'<i class="fa fa-thumbs-up"></i> Great!',
cancelButtonText:
'<i class="fa fa-thumbs-down"></i>'
})
jQuery HTML
swal({
title: 'jQuery HTML example',
html: $('<div>')
.addClass('some-class')
.text('jQuery is everywhere.')
})
A warning message, with a function attached to the "Confirm"-button...
swal({
title: 'Are you sure?',
text: "You won't be able to revert this!",
type: 'warning',
showCancelButton: true,
confirmButtonColor: '#3085d6',
cancelButtonColor: '#d33',
confirmButtonText: 'Yes, delete it!'
}).then(function() {
swal(
'Deleted!',
'Your file has been deleted.',
'success'
);
})
... and by passing a parameter, you can execute something else for "Cancel".
swal({
title: 'Are you sure?',
text: "You won't be able to revert this!",
type: 'warning',
showCancelButton: true,
confirmButtonColor: '#3085d6',
cancelButtonColor: '#d33',
confirmButtonText: 'Yes, delete it!',
cancelButtonText: 'No, cancel!',
confirmButtonClass: 'btn btn-success',
cancelButtonClass: 'btn btn-danger',
buttonsStyling: false
}).then(function() {
swal(
'Deleted!',
'Your file has been deleted.',
'success'
);
}, function(dismiss) {
// dismiss can be 'cancel', 'overlay',
// 'close', and 'timer'
if (dismiss === 'cancel') {
swal(
'Cancelled',
'Your imaginary file is safe :)',
'error'
);
}
})
A message with a custom image and CSS animation disabled
swal({
title: 'Sweet!',
text: 'Modal with a custom image.',
imageUrl: 'https://unsplash.it/400/200',
imageWidth: 400,
imageHeight: 200,
animation: false
})

swal({
title: 'Custom width, padding, background.',
width: 600,
padding: 100,
background: '#fff url(//bit.ly/1Nqn9HU)'
})
Ajax request example
swal({
title: 'Submit email to run ajax request',
input: 'email',
showCancelButton: true,
confirmButtonText: 'Submit',
showLoaderOnConfirm: true,
preConfirm: function(email) {
return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
setTimeout(function() {
if (email === 'taken@example.com') {
reject('This email is already taken.');
} else {
resolve();
}
}, 2000);
});
},
allowOutsideClick: false
}).then(function(email) {
swal({
type: 'success',
title: 'Ajax request finished!',
html: 'Submitted email: ' + email
});
})

});
var steps = [
{
title: 'Step 1',

Multiple inputs aren't supported, you can achieve them by using html and preConfirm parameters.
Inside the preConfirm() function you can pass the custom result to the resolve() function as a parameter:
swal({
title: 'Multiple inputs',
html:
'<input id="swal-input1" class="swal2-input" autofocus>' +
'<input id="swal-input2" class="swal2-input">',
preConfirm: function() {
return new Promise(function(resolve) {
if (result) {
resolve([
$('#swal-input1').val(),
$('#swal-input2').val()
]);
}
});
}
}).then(function(result) {
swal(JSON.stringify(result));
})
