Question 1

How do I create a custom dialog with react-native-simple-dialogs?

Accepted Answer

Import the Dialog component and use the visible prop to control display. Add any React Native content as children, and customize with props like title, onTouchOutside, and style properties. The README provides clear examples with code snippets.

Question 2

react-native-simple-dialogs vs react-native-modal: which should I use?

Accepted Answer

React Native Simple Dialogs is focused on providing pre-styled dialog components (Confirm, Progress) with simplicity, while react-native-modal offers more advanced animations and customization for modals in general. Choose Simple Dialogs for straightforward dialog needs; opt for react-native-modal if you require complex animations or more control over modal behavior.

Question 3

Is react-native-simple-dialogs accessible for screen readers?

Accepted Answer

The library does not explicitly address accessibility in its documentation. You may need to manually add accessibility props like accessibilityLabel to dialog elements, as it relies on React Native's underlying components with basic support.

Question 4

How to handle safe areas in react-native-simple-dialogs on notched phones?

Accepted Answer

Use the safeAreaInsets prop with react-native-safe-area-context. Import useSafeAreaInsets to get insets and pass them to the Dialog component, as shown in the safe area example in the README.

Question 5

Can I use react-native-simple-dialogs for a dialog with an input field?

Accepted Answer

Yes, use the Custom Dialog component and add TextInput as children. However, the library doesn't provide built-in handling for input validation or focus management, so you'll need to implement that yourself.
