# wire:confirm

The `wire:confirm` directive adds a confirmation dialog before executing actions, protecting users from accidental clicks on destructive operations. When users click an element with `wire:confirm`, they'll see a browser confirmation dialog that must be accepted before the action proceeds.

## Basic Usage

This subscription management component demonstrates `wire:confirm` for protecting critical actions:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="BoxLang" %}

```javascript
// wires/SubscriptionManager.bx
class extends="cbwire.models.Component" {
    data = {
        "subscriptionActive": true,
        "userName": "John Doe"
    };

    function cancelSubscription() {
        data.subscriptionActive = false;
    }

    function deleteAccount() {
        // Permanently delete account logic
        redirect("/goodbye");
    }
}
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="CFML" %}

```javascript
// wires/SubscriptionManager.cfc
component extends="cbwire.models.Component" {
    data = {
        "subscriptionActive" = true,
        "userName" = "John Doe"
    };

    function cancelSubscription() {
        data.subscriptionActive = false;
    }

    function deleteAccount() {
        // Permanently delete account logic
        redirect("/goodbye");
    }
}
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="BoxLang" %}

```html
<!-- wires/subscriptionManager.bxm -->
<bx:output>
<div>
    <h1>Account Settings</h1>
    
    <button wire:click="cancelSubscription" 
            wire:confirm="Are you sure you want to cancel your subscription?">
        Cancel Subscription
    </button>
    
    <button wire:click="deleteAccount" 
            wire:confirm.prompt="Please confirm deletion by typing 'DELETE' below|DELETE">
        Delete Account
    </button>
</div>
</bx:output>
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="CFML" %}

```html
<!-- wires/subscriptionManager.cfm -->
<cfoutput>
<div>
    <h1>Account Settings</h1>
    
    <button wire:click="cancelSubscription" 
            wire:confirm="Are you sure you want to cancel your subscription?">
        Cancel Subscription
    </button>
    
    <button wire:click="deleteAccount" 
            wire:confirm.prompt="Please confirm deletion by typing 'DELETE' below|DELETE">
        Delete Account
    </button>
</div>
</cfoutput>
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## What wire:confirm Does

When you add `wire:confirm` to an element, CBWIRE automatically:

* **Shows Confirmation Dialog**: Displays a browser confirmation dialog with your custom message
* **Blocks Action Execution**: Prevents the action from running if the user cancels
* **Continues on Accept**: Executes the action normally if the user confirms
* **Integrates with Actions**: Works seamlessly with any `wire:click` action

## Available Modifiers

The `wire:confirm` directive supports one modifier:

* **Prompt**: `.prompt` - Requires users to type a specific confirmation text

Example: `wire:confirm.prompt="Type DELETE to confirm|DELETE"`

{% hint style="info" %}
Use `wire:confirm` on any destructive or irreversible actions to prevent accidental data loss and improve user experience.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cbwire.ortusbooks.com/template-directives/wire-confirm.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
