Dialog

The <auro-dialog> component is an intrusive interactive component, not passive. The component is best used when there is a requirement the user be made aware of the content being shown, moving focus from the main content to the dialog content.

The component also supports a modal (blocking) state where the user must interact with the content of the component in order to continue. Passive dismissal of the content is not allowed. Users of this state must add a trigger for the user to move beyond this content.

Auro holds the opinions of the Nielsen Norman Group on dialog and modal use to be true.

Important Notice: This component no longer lives within the auro-interruption repository, as that is now being deprecated. <auro-dialog> is now a standalone component and users will be required to install it seperately. See the Install Page for instructions on how to install the component.

Design Token CSS Custom Property dependency

The use of any Auro custom element has a dependency on the Auro Design Tokens.

CSS Custom Property fallbacks

CSS custom properties are not supported in older browsers. For this, fallback properties are pre-generated and included with the npm.

Any update to the Auro Design Tokens will be immediately reflected with browsers that support CSS custom properties, legacy browsers will require updated components with pre-generated fallback properties.

Install bundled assets from CDN

In cases where the project is not able to process JS assets, there are pre-processed assets available for use. See -- auro-dialog__bundled.js for modern browsers. Legacy browsers such as IE11 are no longer supported.

WARNING! When installing into your application environment, DO NOT use @latest for the requested version. Risks include unknown MAJOR version releases and instant adoption of any new features and possible bugs without developer knowledge. The @latest wildcard should NEVER be used for production customer-facing applications. You have been warned.
