# Confirm Dialog

Confirmation dialogs are used to ask the user for confirmation to complete some action and are presented as a center-aligned modal in the backoffice.

Extension authors do not need to register the dialog in their extension's manifest, instead these dialogs are opened by importing and calling the `umbOpenModal` function.

Extension authors can customize the dialog with configuration options such as headline, body content, colors, and button labels.

* `headline` - The headline of the modal.
* `content` - The content of the modal, which can be a TemplateResult or a string.
* `color` - (Optional) The color of the modal, can be `positive` or `danger`. Defaults to `positive`.
* `confirmLabel` - (Optional) The label of the confirmation button.
* `cancelLabel` - (Optional) The label of the cancel button.

To see all properties of the `UMB_CONFIRM_MODAL` token, see the [API reference](https://apidocs.umbraco.com/v17/ui-api/interfaces/packages_core_modal.UmbConfirmModalData.html).

The `onSubmit` method returns a promise that resolves when the user confirms the dialog, and rejects when the user cancels the dialog.

## Opening a Confirmation Dialog

{% code title="my-element.ts" %}

```typescript
import {
    html,
    LitElement,
    customElement,
} from "@umbraco-cms/backoffice/external/lit";
import { UmbElementMixin } from "@umbraco-cms/backoffice/element-api";
import { umbOpenModal, UMB_CONFIRM_MODAL } from "@umbraco-cms/backoffice/modal";

@customElement("my-confirmation-modal")
export class MyConfirmationModal extends UmbElementMixin(LitElement) {
    #onRequestDisable() {
        umbOpenModal(this, UMB_CONFIRM_MODAL, {
            data: {
                headline: this.localize.term("actions_disable"),
                content: this.localize.term("defaultdialogs_confirmdisable"),
                color: "danger",
                confirmLabel: this.localize.term("actions_disable"),
            },
        })
            .then(() => {
                console.log("User has approved");
            })
            .catch(() => {
                console.log("User has rejected");
            });
    }

    render() {
        return html`<uui-button
            look="primary"
            color="danger"
            @click=${this.#onRequestDisable}
            label=${this.localize.term("actions_disable")}
        ></uui-button>`;
    }
}
```

{% endcode %}

## Convenience Method

Confirmation dialogs can be opened using the `umbConfirmModal` method, which offers a slightly simplified API.

{% code title="my-element.ts" %}

```typescript
import {
    html,
    LitElement,
    customElement,
} from "@umbraco-cms/backoffice/external/lit";
import { UmbElementMixin } from "@umbraco-cms/backoffice/element-api";
import { umbConfirmModal } from "@umbraco-cms/backoffice/modal";

@customElement("restart-services-modal")
export class RestartServicesModal extends UmbElementMixin(LitElement) {
    #onRequestDisable() {
        umbConfirmModal(this, {
            headline: this.localize.term("actions_disable"),
            content: this.localize.term("defaultdialogs_confirmdisable"),
            color: "danger",
            confirmLabel: this.localize.term("actions_disable"),
        })
            .then(() => {
                console.log("User has approved");
            })
            .catch(() => {
                console.log("User has rejected");
            });
    }

    render() {
        return html`<uui-button
            look="primary"
            color="positive"
            @click=${this.#onRequestDisable}
            label=${this.localize.term("actions_disable")}
        ></uui-button>`;
    }
}
```

{% endcode %}
