Pop-up Forms Like Login Form

[bryan]

Good afternoon! Does anyone know if there’s documentation on how to create a pop-up form (like the built-in user login form)? Thanks!

Hi there and welcome.

Please see the documentation on alerts and notifications:
https://anvil.works/docs/client/python/alerts-and-notifications

Also, this post shows an example of embedding a form inside an alert box (as described in the docs):

Alert Call Form with Data

@jshaffstall solution works just fine, but you can also do something like this: f = Form2() pressed_button = alert(f) print pressed_button print f.text_box_1.text

You may also want to search the forum and tutorials for “custom login” in case you want more control over login flow in particular.

Good luck!

I think this is the most aesthetically pleasing and powerful way to create a form like the login form.
