Usage

There are 3 varieties included in the package, offering a polyfill for strictly the spec-compliant behaviour, a polyfill with additional features, and a Web Component custom element.

Polyfill with Extras

A polyfill implementation of the <dialog> element and additional behaviour in all modern browsers.

// ES6 import:
import 'ay-dialog/index.js';

// CommonJS require:
require('ay-dialog');

Pure Spec Polyfill

A polyfill implementation for the <dialog> element in all modern browsers, matching spec behaviour as closely as possible. No extra behaviour.

// ES6 import:
import 'ay-dialog/polyfill.js';

// CommonJS require:
require('ay-dialog/polyfill');

ay-dialog Custom Element

An implementation of the dialog spec and additional behaviour as a <ay-dialog> custom element. This only works in modern browsers with support for HTML custom elements.

// ES6 import:
import 'ay-dialog/component.js';

// CommonJS require:
require('ay-dialog/component');
