Question 1

How do I add a text field to a CDAlertView?

Accepted Answer

Set the `isTextFieldHidden` property to false and configure related properties like `textFieldPlaceholderText` and `textFieldIsSecureTextEntry`. You can also set a delegate for advanced handling, but note that default delegation is managed by CDAlertView.

Question 2

CDAlertView vs UIAlertController: which should I use?

Accepted Answer

Use CDAlertView for deep customization, text fields, or unique animations beyond Apple's defaults. Stick with UIAlertController for simplicity, adherence to iOS standards, and avoiding third-party dependencies. CDAlertView is better for branded or feature-rich alerts.

Question 3

Can CDAlertView show alerts without any buttons?

Accepted Answer

Yes, alerts can be displayed without buttons; touching outside or moving the alert will dismiss it. If buttons are added, only button presses will dismiss it, as explained in the basic usage note.

Question 4

How do I change the icon in CDAlertView?

Accepted Answer

Use the `.custom(image:)` type during initialization with a custom UIImage, or adjust `circleFillColor` and `isHeaderIconFilled` for predefined types. This allows full control over icon appearance and background colors.

Question 5

Is CDAlertView compatible with SwiftUI projects?

Accepted Answer

CDAlertView is built with UIKit, so it can be used in SwiftUI via UIViewRepresentable, but it's not native and requires bridging code. For pure SwiftUI projects, consider SwiftUI-based alert solutions instead.

Question 6

How do I make a CDAlertView auto-dismiss after a few seconds?

Accepted Answer

Set the `autoHideTime` property to the desired time interval in seconds, and the alert will hide automatically after that duration. You can combine this with custom animations for smoother transitions.

Question 7

What happens if I use more than three horizontal buttons?

Accepted Answer

The README explicitly states that using more than three buttons in horizontal placement is not possible, so the layout will likely break or default to vertical alignment. Plan button arrangements accordingly to avoid UI issues.
