Response:

#  Simple Modal Prompts

A lightweight, dependency-free JavaScript library for creating accessible modal alert, confirm, and prompt dialogs. This library provides a modern, promise-based approach to handling user interactions within your web applications.

## Features

*   **Accessible:**  Built with accessibility in mind, including proper focus trapping, keyboard navigation (Tab, Shift+Tab, Escape), and ARIA attributes (if they were needed - but in this case they aren't!).
*   **Promise-based:**  Uses Promises for a clean and modern way to handle user input and asynchronous operations.
*   **No Dependencies:**  Written in pure JavaScript, requiring no external libraries or frameworks.
*   **Customizable:** Offers a good degree of style customisation through a well-defined set of CSS styles.
*   **Lightweight:**  The library is small and designed to add minimal overhead to your project.
*   **Prevents Multiple Modals:** Ensures only one modal is open at a time, preventing unexpected behavior.

## Installation

```bash
npm install simple-modal-prompts
```

## Usage

```javascript
// Import the library (if using ES Modules)
// import Prompts from 'simple-modal-prompts';

// For CommonJS environment, use require:
// const Prompts = require('simple-modal-prompts');

// Or, include the script directly in your HTML and access it globally:
// <script src="path/to/simple-modal-prompts.js"></script>

// Alert
async function showAlert() {
  await Prompts.alert("This is an alert message!");
  console.log("Alert closed");
}

// Confirm
async function showConfirm() {
  const confirmed = await Prompts.confirm("Are you sure you want to proceed?");
  if (confirmed) {
    console.log("User confirmed");
  } else {
    console.log("User canceled");
  }
}

// Prompt
async function showPrompt() {
  const userInput = await Prompts.prompt("Please enter your name:");
  if (userInput) {
    console.log("User entered:", userInput);
  } else {
    console.log("User canceled or entered nothing");
  }
}
```

## API

### `Prompts.alert(message)`

Displays an alert dialog with an "OK" button.

*   `message` (string): The message to display in the alert.
*   Returns: A Promise that resolves when the user clicks "OK" or presses escape.

### `Prompts.confirm(message)`

Displays a confirmation dialog with "OK" and "Cancel" buttons.

*   `message` (string): The message to display in the confirmation dialog.
*   Returns: A Promise that resolves with `true` if the user clicks "OK", `false` if they click "Cancel" or press escape.

### `Prompts.prompt(message)`

Displays a prompt dialog with a text input field and "OK" and "Cancel" buttons.

*   `message` (string): The message to display above the input field.
*   Returns: A Promise that resolves with the user's input (string) if they click "OK", `null` if they click "Cancel" or press escape.

## Browser Compatibility

This library is compatible with modern browsers that support the following features:

*   Promises
*   `document.activeElement`
*   `e.key` for KeyboardEvent

## Styling

The library uses a set of predefined CSS styles that can be easily customized by overriding them in your own stylesheet. Here are the key style objects you can modify:

*   `overlayStyle`: Styles for the overlay that covers the background.
*   `modalStyle`: Styles for the modal container.
*   `messageStyle`: Styles for the message text within the modal.
*   `buttonRowStyle`: Styles for the row containing the buttons.
*   `buttonStyle`: Styles for the buttons (common to all buttons).
*   `inputStyle`: Styles for the input field in the prompt dialog.

**Example of overriding styles:**

```css
/* In your own CSS file */
.simple-modal-prompts-overlay {
  background-color: rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.3); /* Semi-transparent red overlay */
}

.simple-modal-prompts-modal {
  border-radius: 10px;
  box-shadow: 0 5px 15px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
}
.simple-modal-prompts-button {
    background-color: #4CAF50; /* Green */
}
```

## Notes

*   **Error Handling:** The library does not include built-in error handling. If an error occurs during modal creation or display, it will likely be thrown as a standard JavaScript error. You should wrap your calls to `Prompts.alert`, `Prompts.confirm`, and `Prompts.prompt` in `try...catch` blocks if you need to handle potential errors.
*   **Global Object:** The library creates a global `Prompts` object. If you are using a module bundler or a system that supports ES modules, you can import it to avoid polluting the global scope.

Contributions are welcome! If you find any issues or have suggestions for improvement, please open an issue or submit a pull request on the project's repository.
