Proposal: Adding Turbo.confirm for programmatic confirmation dialogs

[janko]

We're trying to completely replace @rails/ujs with Turbo in our app, and there are many programmatic calls to Rails.confirm which don't appear to have an equivalent in Turbo. It would be great if there was a Turbo.confirm method that just called the confirmMethod function.

Unless I misunderstood do you mean:

• Turbo.setConfirmMethod ? https://turbo.hotwired.dev/reference/drive#turbo.setconfirmmethod
• https://turbo.hotwired.dev/handbook/drive#requiring-confirmation-for-a-visit

[janko]

Registering the confirm function I know already, what I want is to later call that function from JavaScript (not via a click on [data-turbo-confirm] element).

In @rails/ujs, you can do Rails.confirm = but also Rails.confirm(...), which calls that registered function. It would be nice to be able to do that from Turbo, as then it would match the @rails/ujs convenience.

@janko my company's library rolemodel/turbo-confirm supports programmatic access like that as of our recent v2.0 update.
