I'm working on a custom node where I want the user to confirm an destructive action.

My question is the editors alert box available from a custom node config dialog an how:

I like to ask the user first to make sure that the erase button isn't hit by accident:

Here you go:

```auto
// Example usage for a modal dialog with buttons
   var myNotification = RED.notify("This is the message to display",{
       modal: true,
       fixed: true,
       // type: 'warning', // can be null, 'compact', 'success', 'warning', 'error'
       buttons: [
           {
               text: RED._("common.label.cancel"),
               click: function(e) {
                   myNotification.close();
               }
           },
           {
               text: RED._("common.label.ok"),
               class:"primary",
               click: function(e) {
                   myNotification.close();
               }
           }
       ]
   });

```
