The decision inside it

Clicking the backdrop does not destroy a form

A dialog holding typed input closes on Escape or the button, not on a stray click outside it.

When to use it

Use Dialog for a focused task over the page; DialogContent requires a title (it can be visually hidden). ConfirmDialog is the ready-made "are you sure" with an async confirm and an optional type-to-confirm word.

Installation

How you get it

Paste this into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or any coding agent. It installs the file and uses it as it is, instead of writing a new one.

Use Liro's Dialog for this.
Install it: npx shadcn@latest add @liro/dialog
(the @liro registry is set up in components.json, with LIRO_KEY in .env.local)
Import it from @/components/ui/dialog.
Do not rewrite or restyle it. Pass my data through its props
and keep its built-in states.

For the full brief with every prop and the mistakes assistants usually make, use Copy prompt above. Free components install through the @liro registry with your CLI token: see the Namespaced tab.

Usage

components/delete-project.tsx
import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button";
import { ConfirmDialog, Dialog, DialogContent, DialogFooter, DialogTrigger } from "@/components/ui/dialog";

export function DeleteProject({ remove }: { remove: () => Promise<void> }) {
  return (
    <div className="flex gap-2">
      <Dialog>
        <DialogTrigger asChild>
          <Button variant="outline">Rename</Button>
        </DialogTrigger>
        <DialogContent title="Rename project" description="Everyone in the workspace sees the new name.">
          <DialogFooter>
            <Button>Save</Button>
          </DialogFooter>
        </DialogContent>
      </Dialog>
      <ConfirmDialog
        trigger={<Button variant="destructive">Delete</Button>}
        title="Delete Q4 plan?"
        description="This removes every file in it."
        actionLabel="Delete project"
        destructive
        confirmText="Q4 plan"
        onConfirm={remove}
      />
    </div>
  );
}

Accessibility

  • Keyboard reachable throughout, in visual order
  • Focus trapped in overlays, Escape closes them
  • Focus returns to whatever opened it
  • Live regions announce what changed, not that something did
  • Honours prefers-reduced-motion

Responsive behavior

  • Sizes to its container, not the viewport
  • Usable from 320px up
  • Pointer-based interaction, so trackpad and touch both work
  • No hover-only affordances
