Implementation guide
Confirm a dangerous delete action in React
Replace a vague “Are you sure?” dialog with a typed confirmation that makes the target and consequence explicit before deletion.
The mistake this stops
A destructive action is approved on autopilot because the dialog hides what will be deleted.
A deliberate confirmation step that states the exact action while preserving keyboard and screen-reader access.
Read the Type to Confirm component docs for its live preview, API, accessibility notes, dependencies, and limitations.
Install the component
Use it safely
- Install the confirmation component near the destructive action.
- Require the person to type a meaningful target or phrase before enabling deletion.
- Authorize and execute deletion on the server only after confirming the caller and target.
