Custom confirm for data-confirm

[josephrexme]

I don't want the default dialog of the data-confirm. However, I really need this and I will like to use sweetalert instead. I had earlier made a different approach towards this. Trying to intercept with ajax:beforeSend as in this gist. That failed because I couldn't have it to continue in the fallback. How can I go about this?

You can just override the $.rails.confirm function. See https://github.com/rails/jquery-ujs/blob/master/src/rails.js#L77

@rafaelfranca I don't think you can, because anything other than the browser built-in will need a "what to do next" callback

[rafaelfranca]

Yes. That is true. You would have to block the execution of JavaScript to make it work.

Presumably we could attempt to rearrange our behaviour (callbacks all the things) so it can work.. but I'm not sure it'd be particularly feasible.

Seems I'll have no choice than to use the default dialog. I tried overriding $.rails.confirm and I get my pretty dialog but then it doesn't do anything after confirmation.

$.rails.confirm = function(message){
     swal(message);
}

I hope this gets easier in the future

This goes back to #196, where an ansyc implementation is available at https://github.com/JangoSteve/jquery-ujs/tree/async-confirm but it is a bit outdated. Would be awesome to see this landing on the main repo repo.
