It means it allows the creation of a dialog box with an important message that helps the users to take appropriate action. It is a popup in the middle of the screen which places an overlay over the background. It does not fill the entire screen.

Flutter AlertDialog Box
Flutter AlertDialog Widget is an alert component that allows building a Flutter alert widget in your Flutter applications to allows users to take any action with the important message. It helps users to understand while taking an important action while using your application.
GFAlert should be wrapped inside the GFFloating Widget. The child of the GFFloating Widget takes GFAlert as its argument and the body takes any kind of widgets.
Flutter Alert with multiple buttons
GF Alert can have multiple buttons at the bottom bar of the alert widget.
Generally we categories the alert dialog into different types, Some of them I am listing below:
Basic Flutter AlertDailog
A basic alert dialog widget will come with the basic feature. It generally uses to notify the users regarding new information like any changes that happen in apps, Some new features added to your app, an important required situation or field that has to be acknowledged, or show a confirmation notification based on user action taken.
Flutter Confirmation AlertDialog
This Alert Dialog widget helps to notify users to confirm a particular choice or action before go further in your application. eg. Delete, Update, etc.
Flutter Select AlertDialog
It shows/displays the list/types of alert dialog to the users. If users will take any option then it will take immediate action based on user selection from the list of AlertDialog.
Flutter TextField AlertDialog
This alert dialog helps to build an alert that will take the user's input.
GF Flutter Alert with Basic, Rounded, FullWidth type
GF Alert is of three types. The Basic alert is known as the default alert. By using the type property of Alert Widget we can have Rounded and Fullwidth Alert accordingly. In Rounded Alert, the border will have a radius around it whereas in Fullwidth Alert the alert will take the full width of the screen.

How to create Custom Flutter AlertDialog Widget?
Flutter AlertDialog is used to show any kind of message on the screen and waits for the user action to continue using the respective screen. It usually appears on the center of the screen that makes an overlay and the other UI on the screen cannot be used. Hence there will be user action to dismiss the alert and continue the interaction with the app.
Flutter Basic Alert/Popup example code
Basic Alert is just a default AlertDialog box that can be placed on the desired location on the screen by the positioning property.
The below Example shows the Simple alert.
import 'package:getwidget/getwidget.dart';
return Scaffold(
body: GFFloatingWidget(
horizontalPosition: 40.0,
verticalPosition: 20.0,
child: GFAlert(
title: 'Welcome!',
),
body: Container(
margin: const EdgeInsets.only(top: 20),
child: Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.end,
children: <Widget>[
GFButton(
text: 'Tap to View',
onPressed: () {
setState(() {
showblur = true;
alertWidget = GFAlert(
backgroundColor: Colors.white,
title: 'Welcome!',
content:
'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam',
bottombar: Row(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.end,
children: <Widget>[
GFButton(
onPressed: () {
setState(() {
alertWidget = null;
showblur = false;
});
},
shape: GFButtonShape.pills,
