Copy# Mint — Alert Dialog Specs
 
## Component
- name: alert-dialog
- file: registry/mint/alert-dialog.tsx
- installs to: components/ui/alert-dialog.tsx
- dependencies: radix-ui
- registryDependencies: button
 
## What is it
A blocking modal dialog that requires the user to make an explicit choice before
continuing. Unlike Dialog, it cannot be dismissed by clicking the overlay or
pressing Escape — the user must click Cancel or Confirm. Use it exclusively for
destructive or irreversible actions: deleting data, leaving unsaved changes,
revoking access. Do not use it for informational content — use Dialog instead.
 
## Visual identity
Identical frame to Dialog: white background, generously rounded corners
(Mint's 1.25rem radius), a soft glassy border, and shadow-lg, centered on
screen with a semi-transparent overlay. Two-button footer with Cancel
(outline) on the left and Action (primary, Mint green) on the right. The
visual weight of the Action button signals the severity of the confirmation.
 
## Design tokens
--background: oklch(1 0 0)               — dialog background
--foreground: oklch(0.145 0 0)           — title text
--muted-foreground: oklch(0.52 0.06 155) — description text
--border: oklch(0.88 0.04 155 / 60%)     — dialog border
--primary: oklch(0.5 0.14 155)           — action button background
--primary-foreground: oklch(1 0 0)       — action button text
--destructive: oklch(0.55 0.25 15)       — destructive action override
--radius: 1.25rem                        — rounded-lg
 
## Dark theme
--background: oklch(0.145 0 0)
--foreground: oklch(0.985 0 0)
--muted-foreground: oklch(0.6 0.06 155)
--border: oklch(0.32 0.05 155 / 40%)

## Sub-components
- AlertDialogTrigger  → opens the dialog
- AlertDialogContent  → the modal panel (includes portal + overlay)
- AlertDialogHeader   → wraps title + description
- AlertDialogFooter   → wraps Cancel + Action buttons
- AlertDialogTitle    → required — describes what is being confirmed
- AlertDialogDescription → required — explains the consequences
- AlertDialogAction   → confirm button, styled as primary by default
- AlertDialogCancel   → dismiss button, styled as outline by default
 
## States
- closed:   dialog not mounted in DOM
- open:     fade-in + zoom-in-95 animation, overlay fades in
- closing:  fade-out + zoom-out-95 animation
- overlay:  bg-black/50, blocks interaction with page content
 
## Conventions
- Always include both AlertDialogTitle and AlertDialogDescription
- AlertDialogDescription must explain the consequences, not just ask for confirmation
- For destructive confirms: add className="bg-destructive text-white hover:bg-destructive/90" to AlertDialogAction
- Never use Alert Dialog for non-destructive confirmations — use Dialog instead
- Always use AlertDialogTrigger asChild with your own Button component
- Footer order: Cancel left, Action right (matches platform conventions)
