Simplifying React Dialogs with Awaitable Promises
summary
Claim: replace open-state plumbing with dialogs that return promises so code reads like if (await dialog("Are you sure?")) {...}. Implements small hooks — useQuestion, useDialog — plus a ~100-line dialogue context using React Context; demo integrates with a Remult-backed server-side grid and shows confirm-before-update flows. Built code is copy-pasteable; resolve callbacks drive the await semantics. The live demo runs and confirms the pattern reduces boilerplate and clarifies control flow.
