> Impossible to use blank strings as dialog titles
> ------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CB-9449
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-9449
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Plugin Dialogs
> Affects Versions: 3.5.0
> Reporter: Ian Paterson
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: dialog, patch
>
> Currently there is no way to create a dialog in the Cordova Dialogs plugin
> without a title. Providing an empty string as the title for any of {{alert}},
> {{confirm}}, or {{prompt}} results in a non-localized default title. This
> makes it impossible to show message-only dialogs on platforms that support
> such a thing, like iOS. Currently, all dialogs must have a title and
> additionally prompts must have a message, whether they are provided by the
> developer or forced by the plugin.
> h4. No workarounds
> There are no known workarounds. One that came to mind was passing a space
> character {{navigator.notification.alert('message', null, ' ');}} but on iOS
> this results in a blank space for the title at the top of the alert. Sending
> an object that will evaluate to true but return a blank string when
> stringified causes the app to crash {{navigator.notification.alert('message',
> null, {toString: function() { return ''; }});}}
> h4. Solution
> Rather than testing whether {{title}} is falsy to set the default, test
> whether it is a string, regardless of whether it is a falsy empty string.
> h4. Breaking change?
> Requiring the title to be a string prevents numeric and other values from
> being used, while previously they were passed through to the native plugin.
> This is a _good thing_ because sending anything other than a string causes
> the plugin to crash the app (at least on iOS), so despite being more
> restrictive about the data type, I do not consider it a breaking change.
