What it generates

swiftDialog Configurator builds dialog settings for titles, messages, buttons, timers, progress text, and input controls. It emits either a swiftDialog command line or JSON that represents the selected options.

Available at no cost in any modern web browser. JavaScript is required to generate output.

Supported vocabulary

swiftDialog
--title
--message
--button1
timer

Example output

dialog --title "Maintenance" --message "Updates install tonight" --button1 "OK"

When to use it

Use it to draft a dialog before placing the command in a policy or script. Do not treat the preview as a substitute for testing your installed swiftDialog release.

swiftDialog Configurator needs JavaScript to assemble CLI or JSON output. This page documents the available dialog settings and an example command. Read the static guide.
