Dialogs#

One-shot dialog verbs for prompting the user, plus the reusable dialog classes behind them. The verbs — alert, confirm, toast, and the ask_* family — are on the top-level compose surface and cover the common cases in a single call. The classes live in bootstack.dialogs for when a verb isn’t enough (a custom layout, a reusable instance, or direct control over the result).

For task-oriented introductions see the Dialogs & Alerts guide and the dialog pages in the Widgets catalog.
