Nativescript: Dialogs.action -> add index

[jrz]

When using a dynamic action dialog, it'd be helpful if the selected action index would also be returned

Hey, @jrz, indeed the promise returns only the selected action, but you can easily implement your own logic to know the index of the selected action (for example by using an identical array to get the index).

Hi! Yes, that's what I'm doing right now:

action(options).then((result) => {
    let found = actions.find((a) => { return a.name == result });
});

I just though it'd be nice to have the index or id too. For translated labels it might be a pain. Although duplicate action labels should never happen ux-wise

Hey @jrz the solution you are using is easy enough to implement, so I think this is not a must-have feature.
However, NativeScript is an open source framework, and community contributors are more than welcome!
