type

Returns dialog's type, can be one of alert, beforeunload, confirm or prompt.

info

Usage

await dialog.type()

Example

dialogType.js

// Listen for the dialog event to get the dialog object
browser.on('dialog', async (dialog) => {
    const type = await dialog.type();
    console.log(type); // prints: 'alert', 'confirm', 'prompt', or 'beforeunload'
});

• <string> returns: The type of the dialog
