# dialog
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The `dialog` module provides functions to show system dialogs, so web
 | 
						|
applications can get the same user experience with native applications.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
An example of showing a dialog to select multiple files and directories:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```javascript
 | 
						|
var win = ...;  // window in which to show the dialog
 | 
						|
var dialog = require('dialog');
 | 
						|
console.log(dialog.showOpenDialog({ properties: [ 'openFile', 'openDirectory', 'multiSelections' ]}));
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## dialog.showOpenDialog(options)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* `options` Object
 | 
						|
  * `title` String
 | 
						|
  * `defaultPath` String  
 | 
						|
  * `properties` Array - Contains which features the dialog should use, can
 | 
						|
    contain `openFile`, `openDirectory`, `multiSelections` and
 | 
						|
    `createDirectory`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
On success, returns an array of file paths chosen by the user, otherwise
 | 
						|
returns `undefined`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**Note:** The `dialog.showOpenDialog` API is synchronous and blocks all windows.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## dialog.showSaveDialog(browserWindow, options)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* `browserWindow` BrowserWindow
 | 
						|
* `options` Object
 | 
						|
  * `title` String
 | 
						|
  * `defaultPath` String
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
On success, returns the path of file chosen by the user, otherwise returns
 | 
						|
`undefined`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**Note:** The `dialog.showSaveDialog` API is synchronous and blocks all windows.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## dialog.showMessageBox([browserWindow], options)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* `browserWindow` BrowserWindow
 | 
						|
* `options` Object
 | 
						|
  * `type` String - Can be `"none"`, `"info"` or `"warning"`
 | 
						|
  * `buttons` Array - Array of texts for buttons
 | 
						|
  * `title` String - Title of the message box, some platforms will not show it
 | 
						|
  * `message` String - Content of the message box
 | 
						|
  * `detail` String - Extra information of the message
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Shows a message box, it will block until the message box is closed. It returns
 | 
						|
the index of the clicked button.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**Note:** The `dialog.showMessageBox` API is synchronous and blocks all windows.
