Multiple inputs in a Bootbox
Actually, there is a simpler way which doesn't require you to modify bootbox code.
The string you pass at the bootbox creation doesn't have to be only text: it can also be html code. That means you can include pretty much everything in the box.
To put a custom form in a bootbox, you can then create it as follow :
bootbox.confirm("<form id='infos' action=''>\
First name:<input type='text' name='first_name' /><br/>\
Last name:<input type='text' name='last_name' />\
</form>", function(result) {
if(result)
$('#infos').submit();
});
I just made function for that, check it out - here
Usage example
bootbox.form({
title: 'User details',
fields: {
name: {
label: 'Name',
value: 'John Connor',
type: 'text'
},
email: {
label: 'E-mail',
type: 'email',
value: '[email protected]'
},
type: {
label: 'Type',
type: 'select',
options: [
{value: 1, text: 'Human'},
{value: 2, text: 'Robot'}
]
},
alive: {
label: 'Is alive',
type: 'checkbox',
value: true
},
loves: {
label: 'Loves',
type: 'checkbox',
value: ['bike','mom','vg'],
options: [
{value: 'bike', text: 'Motorbike'},
{value: 'mom', text: 'His mom'},
{value: 'vg', text: 'Video games'},
{value: 'kill', text: 'Killing people'}
]
},
passwd: {
label: 'Password',
type: 'password'
},
desc: {
label: 'Description',
type: 'textarea'
}
},
callback: function (values) {
console.log(values)
}
})
Create hidden div with form in HTML and inject this html to bootbox message. Snippet below.
var buttonClick = function() {
var bootboxHtml = $('#js-exampleDiv').html().replace('js-exampleForm', 'js-bootboxForm');
bootbox.confirm(bootboxHtml, function(result) {
console.log($('#ex1', '.js-bootboxForm').val());
console.log($('#ex2', '.js-bootboxForm').val());
});
};

<div id="js-exampleDiv" hidden>
<form class="js-exampleForm">
<div class="col-sm-12">
<input placeholder="Example placeholder 1" id="ex1" />
</div>
<div class="col-sm-12">
<input placeholder="Example placeholder 2" id="ex2" />
</div>
</form>
</div>
<button onclick="buttonClick();">
Open bootbox confirm dialog.
</button>
For me, this is the cleanest way to do it :
var form = $('<form><input name="usernameInput"/></form>');
bootbox.alert(form,function(){
var username = form.find('input[name=usernameInput]').val();
console.log(username);
});
