Feature request: text prompt

[symonsoft]

I think it will be useful to have ability to prompt for text information in a single (single/multiple line) text field.
Is it likely to implement such a feature?

[symonsoft]

Oh I see after some code investigation that it's almost possible with:

let options = {
  message: 'Prompt title',
  verification: '',
  verificationHelp: 'Prompt message'
}

this.$dialog.open('prompt', options)
  .then((dialog) => {
    console.log('Input text: ' + dialog.data)  // always null
  })

But dialog.data is always null....
Then requesting dialog.data for input text and something simplier like:

this.$dialog.prompt('Prompt message')
    .then((dialog) => {
      console.log('Input text: ' + dialog.data)
    })

I think it would be a very useful feature.

that's actually what a "prompt" is in a javascript context... which it claims to have but actually doesn't support

Hi, I've been tight on schedule. I'll try to implement this feature this weekend

[symonsoft]

@Godofbrowser Please, don't forget and abandon your thankful users! We still hope for the release.

@symonsoft as he has shown interest in implementing it, but is just too tight on schedule; maybe you could make a PR for it? 😉 (I'm using dialog from Buefy for my purposes, as we were using Bulma styling already anyway)

So sorry guys, i'm currently adding this feature. I'm hoping an hour would be enough

[jlsjonas]

That also works :)

No problem, we all have lives besides open source code too ;)

Meaanwhile, this can be done easily with custom view. i have a sample implementation (basic) where i'm using a custom view to show a cropper for photo uploads.
