How to redirect page after click on Ok button on sweet alert?

I am able to display sweet alert after the page refresh but I have to click on Ok button which I am getting on sweet alert to redirect the page.Please help me in this.

<?php
    echo '<script type="text/javascript">';
    echo 'setTimeout(function () { swal("WOW!","Message!","success");';
    echo '}, 1000);'
    echo 'window.location.href = "index.php";';
    echo '</script>';
?>

Solution 1:

Just make use of JavaScript promises. Put the then method after swal function. We do not need to use timer features. For example:

swal({
    title: "Wow!",
    text: "Message!",
    type: "success"
}).then(function() {
    window.location = "redirectURL";
});

The promise method .then is used to wait until the user reads the information of modal window and decide which decision to make by clicking in one button. For example, Yes or No.

After the click, the Sweet Alert could redirect the user to another screen, call another Sweet Alert modal window with contains new and subsequent question, go to a external link, etc.

Again, we do not have to use timer because it is much better to control user action. The user could wait for the eternity or take action as a Thanos' or Iron Man's finger snap. 😜

With the use of promises, the code becomes shorter, clean and elegant. 😉

Solution 2:

To specify a callback function, you have to use an object as the first argument, and the callback function as the second argument.

echo '<script>
    setTimeout(function() {
        swal({
            title: "Wow!",
            text: "Message!",
            type: "success"
        }, function() {
            window.location = "redirectURL";
        });
    }, 1000);
</script>';

Solution 3:

You can use the build-in function timer, i.e.:

swal({
  title: "Success!",
  text: "Redirecting in 2 seconds.",
  type: "success",
  timer: 2000,
  showConfirmButton: false
}, function(){
      window.location.href = "//stackoverflow.com/a/37358578/797495";
});

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.3.min.js"></script>
  <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/sweetalert/1.1.3/sweetalert-dev.js"></script>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/sweetalert/1.1.3/sweetalert.css">

Best and Simple solution, we can add more events as well!

swal({ title: "WOW!",
 text: "Message!",
 type: "success"}).then(okay => {
   if (okay) {
    window.location.href = "URL";
  }
});

Solution 5:

I wasn't able to do that with any swal(sweatAlert) default callback function, so I forced with jquery, got the Ok button class inspecting the element in chrome an made something like this:

<script>    
          sweetAlert({
                title:'Warning!',
                text: 'Invalid user or password!',
                type:'warning'
          },function(isConfirm){
                alert('ok');
          });
          $('.swal2-confirm').click(function(){
                window.location.href = 'index.php';
          });
</script>

The 'Ok' alert in function(isConfirm) was just a test to see if it would get into this function, if so I should be able to redirect from there, but I wasn't...

So I used jQuery to determine if the button "OK" of swal was clicked by getting it class: ".swal2-confirm' then I could redirect with success...

Hope this helps you all !

PS: I am using php echo to run the script, I din't have to leave php to run it, just use single quotes and you're done !
