Getting started

Installation

You can install the latest version using npm:

  npm install react-st-modal

Overview

To implement the functionality of modal dialogs this library has four functions and one react component.

Functions Alert, Confirm, Prompt implement the behavior of existing browser functions.

Function CustomDialog shows any JSX element in a modal window.

React component StaticDialog is used to define modals in your JSX element.

Interaction: (Alert, Prompt, Confirm)

All interaction functions are async.

PromptConfig allows you to specify the following optional parameters:

• defaultValue: string | number
• isRequired: boolean
• errorText: string
• okButtonText: string
• cancelButtonText: string

Example

import { Confirm } from 'react-st-modal';

function ConfirmExample() {
  return (
    <div>
      <button
        onClick={async () => {
          const result = await Confirm('Сonfirmation text', 
            'Сonfirmation title');
          
          if (result) {
            // Сonfirmation confirmed
          } else {
            // Сonfirmation not confirmed
          }
        }}
      >
          Show confirm
      </button>
    </div>
  );
}

CustomDialog

CustomDialog is an async function that shows any element in a modal window.

Parameters

• body: JSX.Element - the element shown in the modal dialog
• options?: CustomConfig - specified options

CustomConfig allows you to specify the following optional parameters:

• title?: string - modal dialog title
• className?: string - css className
• defaultBodyOverflow?: string (default: visible) - default value to body css property overflow
• showCloseIcon?: boolean (default: false) - show close button in the top corner of the window
• isCanClose?: boolean (default: true) - is it possible to close the dialog by clicking on the overlay or ESC button
• isFocusLock?: boolean (default: true) - lock focus on modal
• isBodyScrollLocked?: boolean (default: true) - content scrolling lock
• replaceScrollBar?: boolean (default: true) - whether to replace the body scrollbar with a placeholder
• scrollBarPlaceholderColor?: string (default: #eeeeee) - default color for the scrollbar placeholder
• onAfterOpen?: () => void - event called after the dialog was opened

To control a dialog from an inner element, use useDialog<T> hook

useDialog<T> returns an object containing:

• isOpen: boolean - the current state of the modal
• close: (result?: T) => void - function that closes the dialog and returns the result

Example

import { CustomDialog, useDialog } from 'react-st-modal';

// The element to be shown in the modal window
function CustomDialogContent() {
  // use this hook to control the dialog
  const dialog = useDialog();

  const [value, setValue] = useState();

  return (
    <div>
      <input
        type="text"
        onChange={(e) => {
          setValue(e.target.value);
        }}
      />
      <button
        onClick={() => {
          // Сlose the dialog and return the value
          dialog.close(value);
        }}
      >
        Custom button
      </button>
    </div>
  );
}

function CustomExample() {
  return (
    <div>
      <button
        onClick={async () => {
          const result = await CustomDialog(
            <CustomDialogContent />,
            {
              title: 'Custom Dialog',
              showCloseIcon: true,
            }
          );
        }}
      >
