      <AlertDialogTrigger asChild>
        <Button variant="outline">Show Dialog</Button>
      </AlertDialogTrigger>
      <AlertDialogContent size="sm">

        <Button variant="outline">Share Project</Button>
      </AlertDialogTrigger>
      <AlertDialogContent>
        <AlertDialogHeader>
          <AlertDialogMedia>
            <CircleFadingPlusIcon />
          </AlertDialogMedia>
          <AlertDialogTitle>Share this project?</AlertDialogTitle>

  AlertDialogMedia,
  AlertDialogTitle,

          <AlertDialogAction>Allow</AlertDialogAction>
        </AlertDialogFooter>
      </AlertDialogContent>
    </AlertDialog>

  AlertDialogFooter,
  AlertDialogHeader,
  AlertDialogMedia,
  AlertDialogTitle,

  return (
    <AlertDialog>
      <AlertDialogTrigger asChild>
        <Button variant="destructive">Delete Chat</Button>
      </AlertDialogTrigger>
      <AlertDialogContent size="sm">
        <AlertDialogHeader>
          <AlertDialogMedia className="bg-destructive/10 text-destructive dark:bg-destructive/20 dark:text-destructive">
            <Trash2Icon />
          </AlertDialogMedia>
          <AlertDialogTitle>Delete chat?</AlertDialogTitle>
