javascript - What's the best way to write my own confirm in js?

Question

I want to skin my own confirmation dialog using bootstrap modal without having to hook up events and without resorting to any library, except angular or jquery.

Basically, I want to be able to call something like:

if (myConfirm("text")) {
    // handle yes
} else {
    // handle no
};

myConfirm is supposed to show the modal, wait until either yes or no button was pressed and then return true or false.

What's the best way to do this? I am not concerned at all about any IE issues.

Your best bet for a blocking function is the old window.showModalDialog method (which has excellent IE support, btw). But you should not use it.

Make it event-based. Especially when for learning purposes. You won't get the bootstrap modal without events. If you want a nicer abstraction, return a Promise from your function.
