Modal

Modal

The modal component provides a solid foundation for creating dialogs, popovers, lightboxes, or whatever else.

The component renders its children node in front of a backdrop component.

The Modal offers a few helpful features over using just a Portal component and some styles:

  • Manages dialog stacking when one-at-a-time just isn't enough.
  • Creates a backdrop, for disabling interaction below the modal.
  • It properly manages focus; moving to the modal content, and keeping it there until the modal is closed.
  • It disables scrolling of the page content while open.
  • Adds the appropriate ARIA roles automatically.

This component shares many concepts with react-overlays.
