Modal

The API documentation of the Modal React component.

This component shares many concepts with react-overlays.

Props

Name	Type	Default	Description
BackdropComponent	union: string |  func |  object	Backdrop	A backdrop component. This property enables custom backdrop rendering.
BackdropProps	object		Properties applied to the Backdrop element.
children	element		A single child content element.
classes	object		Override or extend the styles applied to the component. See CSS API below for more details.
container	union: object |  func		A node, component instance, or function that returns either. The container will have the portal children appended to it.
disableAutoFocus	bool	false	If true, the modal will not automatically shift focus to itself when it opens, and replace it to the last focused element when it closes. This also works correctly with any modal children that have the disableAutoFocus prop. Generally this should never be set to true as it makes the modal less accessible to assistive technologies, like screen readers.
disableBackdropClick	bool	false	If true, clicking the backdrop will not fire any callback.
disableEnforceFocus	bool	false	If true, the modal will not prevent focus from leaving the modal while open. Generally this should never be set to true as it makes the modal less accessible to assistive technologies, like screen readers.
disableEscapeKeyDown	bool	false	If true, hitting escape will not fire any callback.
disablePortal	bool	false	Disable the portal behavior. The children stay within it's parent DOM hierarchy.
disableRestoreFocus	bool	false	If true, the modal will not restore focus to previously focused element once modal is hidden.
hideBackdrop	bool	false	If true, the backdrop is not rendered.
keepMounted	bool	false	Always keep the children in the DOM. This property can be useful in SEO situation or when you want to maximize the responsiveness of the Modal.
manager	object	new ModalManager()	A modal manager used to track and manage the state of open Modals. This enables customizing how modals interact within a container.
onBackdropClick	func		Callback fired when the backdrop is clicked.
onClose	func		Callback fired when the component requests to be closed. The reason parameter can optionally be used to control the response to onClose. Signature: function(event: object, reason: string) => void event: The event source of the callback reason: Can be:"escapeKeyDown", "backdropClick"
onEscapeKeyDown	func		Callback fired when the escape key is pressed, disableEscapeKeyDown is false and the modal is in focus.
onRendered	func		Callback fired once the children has been mounted into the container. It signals that the open={true} property took effect.
open *	bool		If true, the modal is open.

Any other properties supplied will be spread to the root element (native element).

CSS API

You can override all the class names injected by Material-UI thanks to the classes property. This property accepts the following keys:

Name	Description
root	Styles applied to the root element.
hidden	Styles applied to the root element if the Modal has exited.

Have a look at overriding with classes section and the implementation of the component for more detail.

If using the overrides key of the theme as documented here, you need to use the following style sheet name: MuiModal.
