Get value from input in Ionic 4 alert

As of today the Ionic 4 documentation on ion-alert contains an example how to add a text input to an alert, like this:

const alert = await this.alertController.create({
  inputs: [
    {
      name: 'name1',
      type: 'text'
    },

But I can not find out how to access the value from the name1 text input, for example in the button handlers.

Do I have to use something like document.getElementById or is there a more Ionic/Angular-style way?

Answer

you can have a button that on the close of the alert can handle the data.

const alert = await this.alertController.create({
    inputs: [
    {
        name: 'name1',
        type: 'text'
    }],    
    buttons: [
        {
            text: 'Cancel',
            role: 'cancel',
            cssClass: 'secondary',
            handler: () => {
                console.log('Confirm Cancel');
            }
        }, 
        {
            text: 'Ok',
            handler: (alertData) => { //takes the data 
                console.log(alertData.name1);
            }
        }
    ]
});
await alert.present();
