      <AlertDialogAction>Continue</AlertDialogAction>
    </AlertDialogFooter>
  </AlertDialogContent>
</AlertDialog>
```

## Composition

Use the following composition to build an `AlertDialog`:

```text
AlertDialog
├── AlertDialogTrigger
└── AlertDialogContent
    ├── AlertDialogHeader
    │   ├── AlertDialogMedia
    │   ├── AlertDialogTitle
    │   └── AlertDialogDescription
    └── AlertDialogFooter
        ├── AlertDialogCancel
        └── AlertDialogAction
```

## Basic

A basic alert dialog with a title, description, and cancel and continue buttons.

```tsx title="src/components/examples/alert-dialog/alert-dialog-basic.tsx"
import {
  AlertDialog,
  AlertDialogAction,
  AlertDialogCancel,
  AlertDialogContent,
  AlertDialogDescription,
  AlertDialogFooter,
  AlertDialogHeader,
  AlertDialogTitle,
  AlertDialogTrigger,
} from "@/components/ui/alert-dialog"
import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"

export function AlertDialogBasic() {
  return (
    <AlertDialog>
      <AlertDialogTrigger
        render={<Button variant="outline">Show Dialog</Button>}
      />
      <AlertDialogContent>
        <AlertDialogHeader>
          <AlertDialogTitle>Are you absolutely sure?</AlertDialogTitle>
          <AlertDialogDescription>
            This action cannot be undone. This will permanently delete your
            account and remove your data from our servers.
          </AlertDialogDescription>
        </AlertDialogHeader>
        <AlertDialogFooter>
          <AlertDialogCancel>Cancel</AlertDialogCancel>
          <AlertDialogAction>Continue</AlertDialogAction>
        </AlertDialogFooter>
      </AlertDialogContent>
    </AlertDialog>
  )
}
```

## Small

Use the `size="sm"` prop to make the alert dialog smaller.

```tsx title="src/components/examples/alert-dialog/alert-dialog-small.tsx"
import {
  AlertDialog,
  AlertDialogAction,
  AlertDialogCancel,
  AlertDialogContent,
  AlertDialogDescription,
  AlertDialogFooter,
  AlertDialogHeader,
  AlertDialogTitle,
  AlertDialogTrigger,
} from "@/components/ui/alert-dialog"
import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"

export function AlertDialogSmall() {
  return (
    <AlertDialog>
      <AlertDialogTrigger
        render={<Button variant="outline">Show Dialog</Button>}
      />
      <AlertDialogContent size="sm">
        <AlertDialogHeader>
          <AlertDialogTitle>Allow accessory to connect?</AlertDialogTitle>
          <AlertDialogDescription>
            Do you want to allow the USB accessory to connect to this device?
          </AlertDialogDescription>
        </AlertDialogHeader>
        <AlertDialogFooter>
          <AlertDialogCancel>Don&apos;t allow</AlertDialogCancel>
          <AlertDialogAction>Allow</AlertDialogAction>
        </AlertDialogFooter>
      </AlertDialogContent>
    </AlertDialog>
  )
}
```

## Media

Use the `AlertDialogMedia` component to add a media element such as an icon or image to the alert dialog.

```tsx title="src/components/examples/alert-dialog/alert-dialog-media.tsx"
import { CircleFadingPlusIcon } from "lucide-react"

import {
  AlertDialog,
  AlertDialogAction,
  AlertDialogCancel,
  AlertDialogContent,
  AlertDialogDescription,
  AlertDialogFooter,
  AlertDialogHeader,
  AlertDialogMedia,
  AlertDialogTitle,
  AlertDialogTrigger,
} from "@/components/ui/alert-dialog"
import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"

export function AlertDialogWithMedia() {
  return (
    <AlertDialog>
      <AlertDialogTrigger
        render={<Button variant="outline">Share Project</Button>}
      />
      <AlertDialogContent>
        <AlertDialogHeader>
          <AlertDialogMedia>
            <CircleFadingPlusIcon />
          </AlertDialogMedia>
          <AlertDialogTitle>Share this project?</AlertDialogTitle>
          <AlertDialogDescription>
            Anyone with the link will be able to view and edit this project.
          </AlertDialogDescription>
        </AlertDialogHeader>
        <AlertDialogFooter>
          <AlertDialogCancel>Cancel</AlertDialogCancel>
          <AlertDialogAction>Share</AlertDialogAction>
        </AlertDialogFooter>
      </AlertDialogContent>
    </AlertDialog>
  )
}
```

## Small with Media

Use the `size="sm"` prop to make the alert dialog smaller and the `AlertDialogMedia` component to add a media element such as an icon or image to the alert dialog.

```tsx title="src/components/examples/alert-dialog/alert-dialog-small-media.tsx"
import { BluetoothIcon } from "lucide-react"

import {
  AlertDialog,
  AlertDialogAction,
  AlertDialogCancel,
  AlertDialogContent,
  AlertDialogDescription,
  AlertDialogFooter,
  AlertDialogHeader,
  AlertDialogMedia,
  AlertDialogTitle,
  AlertDialogTrigger,
} from "@/components/ui/alert-dialog"
import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"

export function AlertDialogSmallWithMedia() {
  return (
    <AlertDialog>
      <AlertDialogTrigger
        render={<Button variant="outline">Show Dialog</Button>}
      />

      <AlertDialogContent size="sm">
        <AlertDialogHeader>
          <AlertDialogMedia>
            <BluetoothIcon />
          </AlertDialogMedia>
          <AlertDialogTitle>Allow accessory to connect?</AlertDialogTitle>
          <AlertDialogDescription>
            Do you want to allow the USB accessory to connect to this device?
          </AlertDialogDescription>
        </AlertDialogHeader>
        <AlertDialogFooter>
          <AlertDialogCancel>Don&apos;t allow</AlertDialogCancel>
          <AlertDialogAction>Allow</AlertDialogAction>
        </AlertDialogFooter>
      </AlertDialogContent>
    </AlertDialog>
  )
}
```

## Destructive

Use the `AlertDialogAction` component to add a destructive action button to the alert dialog.

```tsx title="src/components/examples/alert-dialog/alert-dialog-destructive.tsx"
import { Trash2Icon } from "lucide-react"

import {
  AlertDialog,
  AlertDialogAction,
  AlertDialogCancel,
  AlertDialogContent,
  AlertDialogDescription,
  AlertDialogFooter,
  AlertDialogHeader,
  AlertDialogMedia,
  AlertDialogTitle,
  AlertDialogTrigger,
} from "@/components/ui/alert-dialog"
import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"

export function AlertDialogDestructive() {
  return (
    <AlertDialog>
      <AlertDialogTrigger
        render={<Button variant="destructive">Delete Chat</Button>}
      />
      <AlertDialogContent size="sm">
        <AlertDialogHeader>
          <AlertDialogMedia className="bg-destructive/10 text-destructive dark:bg-destructive/20 dark:text-destructive">
            <Trash2Icon />
          </AlertDialogMedia>
          <AlertDialogTitle>Delete chat?</AlertDialogTitle>
          <AlertDialogDescription>
            This will permanently delete this chat conversation. View{" "}
            <a href="#">Settings</a> delete any memories saved during this chat.
          </AlertDialogDescription>
        </AlertDialogHeader>
        <AlertDialogFooter>
          <AlertDialogCancel variant="outline">Cancel</AlertDialogCancel>
          <AlertDialogAction variant="destructive">Delete</AlertDialogAction>
        </AlertDialogFooter>
      </AlertDialogContent>
    </AlertDialog>
  )
}
```
