How to force close of bootbox.alert() on an outside of modal click?

Question

How to force close of bootbox.alert() on an outside of modal click? Ideally without jQuery.

I am using Bootbox v4.4.0.

Answer 1

You can specify this behavior when creating your alert, using the backdrop option.

Example:

bootbox.alert({
    message: 'This is an alert!',
    backdrop: true
})

<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bootbox.js/4.4.0/bootbox.min.js"></script>

The default for that option is null, which means clicking on the backdrop does nothing. Passing false removes the backdrop, and passing true shows the backdrop and makes clicking on it dismiss the dialog.
