Create an NSAlert with Swift

I have the code to create and NSAlert in Objective-C but I would now like to create it in Swift.

The alert is to confirm that the user would like to delete a document.

I would like the "delete" button to then run the delete function and the "cancel" one just to dismiss the alert.

How can I write this in Swift?

NSAlert *alert = [[[NSAlert alloc] init] autorelease];
[alert addButtonWithTitle:@"Delete"];
[alert addButtonWithTitle:@"Cancel"];
[alert setMessageText:@"Delete the document?"];
[alert setInformativeText:@"Are you sure you would like to delete the document?"];
[alert setAlertStyle:NSWarningAlertStyle];
[alert beginSheetModalForWindow:[self window] modalDelegate:self didEndSelector:@selector(alertDidEnd:returnCode:contextInfo:) contextInfo:nil];

beginSheetModalForWindow:modalDelegate is deprecated in OS X 10.10 Yosemite.

Swift 2

func dialogOKCancel(question: String, text: String) -> Bool {
    let alert: NSAlert = NSAlert()
    alert.messageText = question
    alert.informativeText = text
    alert.alertStyle = NSAlertStyle.WarningAlertStyle
    alert.addButtonWithTitle("OK")
    alert.addButtonWithTitle("Cancel")
    let res = alert.runModal()
    if res == NSAlertFirstButtonReturn {
        return true
    }
    return false
}

let answer = dialogOKCancel("Ok?", text: "Choose your answer.")

This returns true or false according to the user's choice.

NSAlertFirstButtonReturn represents the first button added to the dialog, here the "OK" one.

Swift 3

func dialogOKCancel(question: String, text: String) -> Bool {
    let alert = NSAlert()
    alert.messageText = question
    alert.informativeText = text
    alert.alertStyle = NSAlertStyle.warning
    alert.addButton(withTitle: "OK")
    alert.addButton(withTitle: "Cancel")
    return alert.runModal() == NSAlertFirstButtonReturn
}

let answer = dialogOKCancel(question: "Ok?", text: "Choose your answer.")

Swift 4

We now use enums for the alert's style and the button selection.

func dialogOKCancel(question: String, text: String) -> Bool {
    let alert = NSAlert()
    alert.messageText = question
    alert.informativeText = text
    alert.alertStyle = .warning
    alert.addButton(withTitle: "OK")
    alert.addButton(withTitle: "Cancel")
    return alert.runModal() == .alertFirstButtonReturn
}

let answer = dialogOKCancel(question: "Ok?", text: "Choose your answer.")

I think this may work for you...

let a = NSAlert()
a.messageText = "Delete the document?"
a.informativeText = "Are you sure you would like to delete the document?"
a.addButtonWithTitle("Delete")
a.addButtonWithTitle("Cancel")
a.alertStyle = NSAlertStyle.WarningAlertStyle

a.beginSheetModalForWindow(self.view.window!, completionHandler: { (modalResponse) -> Void in
    if modalResponse == NSAlertFirstButtonReturn {
        print("Document deleted")
    }
})

Updated Jose Hidalgo's answer for Swift 4:

let a: NSAlert = NSAlert()
a.messageText = "Delete the document?"
a.informativeText = "Are you sure you would like to delete the document?"
a.addButton(withTitle: "Delete")
a.addButton(withTitle: "Cancel")
a.alertStyle = NSAlert.Style.warning

a.beginSheetModal(for: self.window!, completionHandler: { (modalResponse: NSApplication.ModalResponse) -> Void in
    if(modalResponse == NSApplication.ModalResponse.alertFirstButtonReturn){
        print("Document deleted")
    }
})
