Show native alert dialogs on Windows, OSX and Linux with Node.js.

Dialog

Simple wrapper around zenity, osascript and vbscript that lets you show native alert dialogs on Linux, OSX and Windows, respectively.

Example

var dialog = require('dialog');

dialog.info('Hello there');

Usage

To show an error dialog:

dialog.err(msg, title, callback);

To show a generic info dialog:

dialog.info(msg, title, callback);

// example, setting title
dialog.info('Ground control to major Tom.', 'My app', function(err){
	if (!err) console.log('User clicked OK');
})

To show a warning dialog:

dialog.warn(msg, title, callback);

// example, without setting title
dialog.warn('This computer will autoterminate itself in 5 seconds.', function(err){
	if (!err) console.log('User clicked OK');
})

Both title and callback are optional. Default title shown is "Important".
