React Global Modal

React Global Modal is a lightweight, simple, customizable and ready to use modal in the global scope in the react project.

npm bundle size

Features

Lightweight
Build in simple modal, slide pane, confirmation modal and async confirmation modal
Fully constomizable and can be used with any UI framework
Invoked as a method so reduces the code base
Promotes reusability
Easy to maintain
Enhance the performance as the main component never re-render when opening the modal
Multiple modal can be pushed on top of another

Installation

To install, you can use npm or yarn:

$ npm install react-global-modal
$ yarn add react-global-modal

Usage

In order to use, you must follow the steps below:

1. Configure React Global Modal

At first, you need to configure the modal at the root of your project as shown bellow

import React, { useEffect } from 'react'
import { GlobalModalWrapper, GlobalModal } from 'react-global-modal'
import 'react-global-modal/dist/style.css'

let globalModalRef: any = null

function App() {
  useEffect(() => {
    GlobalModal.setUpModal(globalModalRef)
  }, [])

  return (
    <div className="App">
      <GlobalModalWrapper ref={(el) => (globalModalRef = el)} />
    </div>
  )
}

export default App

Here GlobalModal.setUpModal methods register our modal by storing the reference of the modal obtained from the GlobalModalWrapper. react-global-modal/dist/style.css is the styles of the modal which you also need to import in the root file of the project.

2. Triggering exposed modal methods

The GlobalModal consist of set method using which we can open and close the modal and also can update the props passed to the modal. It consist of following methods:

1. setUpModal
2. push
3. pop
4. add
5. closeAll

1. setUpModal

You can use this method to register the modal reference and should be defined in the root of the project as mention above in Configure React Global Modal

2. push

You can use this method to open the modal which conatin a list of props along with the component that we want to display inside the modal.

  const openModal = async () => {
    GlobalModal.push({
      component:Component, //Component represent the component that you want to display inside the modal
      title:"Modal title" //modal title
      props:{   //props object are represented as the props to the component
        data:data   
      }
    })
  }

The methods contain different others properties which are described below:

| Props | Types | Required | Default | Description | | -------------------------- | ------------------------------- | --------------------:| -------------: | -----------------------------------------:| | component | React.FC | ✅ | | Main component that will be displayed inside modal| | props | { [key: string]: unknown } | | | It include the props of the component which can be accessed inside the modal | | onClose | Function | | | Is used to perfrom certain action when the modal is about to close | | className | string | | | It is used to provde the styles for outermost element of the modal and can be used accordingly with custom modal | | modalSize | 'xs' , 'sm' ,'md' , 'lg' | ✅ | md | It is used to control the width of the modal | | isCloseable | boolean | | false | It indicate wheather the modal can be closed or not. If true, you can only close the modal manualy from the component inside the modal using the modal close method | | closeButtonClassName | string | | | It is used to style the close icon that is present inside the modal | | title | string | | | If you want to have a title in the modal you can use it. | hideHeader | boolean | | false | It is used to hide the deafult heading component present in the modal | | headerComponent | React.FC | | | You can pass the custom heading component in the modal | | headerClassName | string | | | It is used to style the heading the component | | actions | IButtonProps[] | | | It includes the list of button that can be included in the bottom of the modal | | actionClassName | string | | | It is used to style the footer of the component | | contentClassName | string | | | It is used to style the wrapper which wraps the passed component to the modal |
| hideCloseIcon | boolean | | | It is used to hide the close icon from the modal | | width | string | | | It is used to include the custom width to the modal | |isSlidePane | boolean | | false | If it is true, then the modal will act as the slidePane and will be in right or left | | position | 'right' , 'left' | | right | It can only be used when the isSlidePane is true. Using this you can align the slidPane to right or left | | footer | React.ReactNode | | | You can pass custom footer to the modal | | closeIconComponent | React.ReactNode | | | You can pass custom footer to the modal |

3. pop

You can use this method to close the modal. In order to simply close the modal you can use like below:


    GlobalModal.pop()

4. add

You can use this method for updating any props values inside the modal. And this can be triggered from outside the modal as well as inside the modal


 GlobalModal.add({
      props: {       // this is the updated props which will be passed to the component inside the modal
        value: newValue, 
      },
      modalIndex: 0,  // it indicate current number of modal open
 })

In above method, modalIndex represents the index of opened modal. If you have one modal opened, then modalIndex will be 0 else if you have second modal opened on top of first one then themodalIndex will be 1 and soon.

5. closeAll

You can use this method to close all the modal that are opened. In order to simply close all the modal that you have opened previously you can use like below:


    GlobalModal.closeAll()

Examples

1. Simple example with in built header and no footer

const Example = () => {
  const openModal = async () => {
    GlobalModal.push({
      component: ComponentText,
      props: {
        test: 'Testing',
      },
    })
  }

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={openModal}>Open</button>
    </div>
  )
}
const ComponentText = ({ test }: { test: string }) => {
  return (
    <div
      style={{
        height: '400px',
      }}
    >
      hello {test}
    </div>
  )
}
export default Example

2. Simple example with header and footer inside component

import React from 'react'
import { GlobalModal } from 'react-global-modal'

const Example = () => {
  const openModal = async () => {
    GlobalModal.push({
      component: ComponentText,
      props: {
        test: 'Testing',
      },
      hideHeader: true,
    })
  }

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={openModal}>Open</button>
    </div>
  )
}
const ComponentText = ({ test }: { test: string }) => {
  return (
    <div
      style={{
        height: '400px',
      }}
    >
      <div
        style={{
          height: '2rem',
        }}
      >
        Header
      </div>
      hello {test}
      <div
        style={{
          position: 'absolute',
          left: 0,
          bottom: 0,
          width: '100%',
          borderTop: '1px solid rgb(230 232 240)',
        }}
      >
        <div
          style={{
            display: 'flex',
            flexDirection: 'row',
            padding: '8px 10px',
            justifyContent: 'flex-end',
            gridGap: '5px',
          }}
        >
          <button className="btn btn-error">Close</button>
          <button className="btn btn-primary"> okay</button>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  )
}
export default Example

You can also include the header and footer in the component which will by displayed inside the modal but you have to disable the header present inside the modal by passing the props hideHeader: true

Modal as a SlidePane

The slide pane are the one that appears on the side that may be left or right of the screen. You can open existing modal as the slide pane:

import React from 'react'
import { GlobalModal } from 'react-global-modal'

const Example = () => {
  const openModal = async () => {
    GlobalModal.push({
      component: ComponentText,
      props: {
        test: 'Testing',
      },
      hideHeader: true,
      isSlidePane: true,
    })
  }

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={openModal}>Open</button>
    </div>
  )
}
const ComponentText = ({ test }: { test: string }) => {
  return (
    <div
      style={{
        height: '400px',
      }}
    >
      <div
        style={{
          height: '2rem',
        }}
      >
        Header
      </div>
      hello {test}
      <div
        style={{
          position: 'absolute',
          left: 0,
          bottom: 0,
          width: '100%',
          borderTop: '1px solid rgb(230 232 240)',
        }}
      >
        <div
          style={{
            display: 'flex',
            flexDirection: 'row',
            padding: '8px 10px',
            justifyContent: 'flex-end',
            gridGap: '5px',
          }}
        >
          <button className="btn btn-error">Close</button>
          <button className="btn btn-primary"> okay</button>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  )
}
export default Example

You can open slide pane by passing the props isSlidePane: true while opening the modal. Their is additional properties for side pane that is position which determines whether you want it be right or left.

Confirmation Modal

Confirmation modal is can be used to ask the user to perform the certain operation. You can invoke the confirmation similarly to that of normal modal.

import React from 'react'
import { ConfirmationModal } from 'react-global-modal'

const Example = () => {
  const openModal = async () => {
    ConfirmationModal({
      onCancel: () => {
        // TODO when user tigger cancel action
      },
      onOkay: () => {
        //TODO when user tigger okay action
      },
      okayLabel: 'Continue',
      cancelLabel: 'Back',
    })
  }

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={openModal}>Open</button>
    </div>
  )
}

The confirmation modal can be used like above. It consist of list of properties which are descriped below:

Async Confirmation Modal

You can use this modal to perfrom certain action based on the user response.


import React from 'react'
import { AsyncConfirmationModal} from 'react-global-modal'

const Example = () => {
  const openModal = async () => {
    const res = await AsyncConfirmationModal({
      title: 'This is testing',
      message: 'This is message',
    })
    if (res) {
      //TODO if yes agree or press okay
    } else {
      //TODO if user doesn't agree or press cancel
    }
  }

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={openModal}>Open</button>
    </div>
  )
}
export default Example

The async confirmation modal can be used like above. It consist of list of properties which are descriped below:

Full customization with different UI framework

The react-global-modal support customization of the existing modal which means you can use this package with any UI framework that you are currently working within your project. For customization, you can pass customModal to the GlobalModalWrapper component. At first create the custom modal like bellow:

//This is the example with chackra-ui
import {
  Button,
  Drawer,
  DrawerBody,
  DrawerCloseButton,
  DrawerContent,
  DrawerFooter,
  DrawerHeader,
  DrawerOverlay,
  Modal,
  ModalBody,
  ModalCloseButton,
  ModalContent,
  ModalFooter,
  ModalHeader,
  ModalOverlay,
} from '@chakra-ui/react'
import React from 'react'
import { IModalProps } from 'react-global-modal'
type IAntModalProps = IModalProps & {
  width?: number
  scrollBehavior?: 'inside' | 'outside'
  isCentered?: boolean
  size: 'xs' | 'sm' | 'md' | 'lg' | 'xl' | 'full'
}
export const CustomModalComponent = React.forwardRef((propsValues: IAntModalProps, ref) => {
  const {
    children,
    open = false,
    isCloseable,
    title = 'Modal Header',
    onModalClose = () => {},
    footer,
    closeIconComponent,
    actions = [],
    isSlidePane = false,
    position,
    hideHeader,
    scrollBehavior = 'inside',
    isCentered = false,
    size = 'md',
  } = propsValues

  if (isSlidePane) {
    return (
      <Drawer placement={position} isOpen={open} onClose={onModalClose} size={size}>
        <DrawerOverlay />
        <DrawerContent>
          {!isCloseable && (!closeIconComponent ? <DrawerCloseButton /> : closeIconComponent)}
          {!hideHeader && <DrawerHeader>{title}</DrawerHeader>}
          <DrawerBody padding={0} position="relative">
            {children}
          </DrawerBody>
          {footer && footer}
          {actions.length > 0 && !footer && (
            <DrawerFooter>
              {actions.map((el: any) => (
                <Button
                  key={el.title}
                  colorScheme={el.colorScheme}
                  mr={3}
                  onClick={el.onClick}
                  variant={el.variant ?? 'ghost'}
                >
                  {el.title}
                </Button>
              ))}
            </DrawerFooter>
          )}
        </DrawerContent>
      </Drawer>
    )
  }
  return (
    <Modal
      isOpen={open}
      onClose={onModalClose}
      closeOnOverlayClick={!isCloseable}
      scrollBehavior={scrollBehavior}
      isCentered={isCentered}
      size={size}
    >
      <ModalOverlay />
      <ModalContent>
        {!hideHeader && <ModalHeader>Modal Title</ModalHeader>}
        {!isCloseable && <ModalCloseButton />}
        <ModalBody padding={0} position="relative">
          {children}
        </ModalBody>
        {footer && footer}
        {actions.length > 0 && !footer && (
          <ModalFooter>
            {actions.map((el: any) => (
              <Button
                key={el.title}
                colorScheme={el.colorScheme}
                mr={3}
                onClick={el.onClick}
                variant={el.variant ?? 'ghost'}
              >
                {el.title}
              </Button>
            ))}
          </ModalFooter>
        )}
      </ModalContent>
    </Modal>
  )
})

After creating the custom modal, pass the custom modal to GlobalModalWrapper component.

 <GlobalModalWrapper customModal={CustomModalComponent} ref={(el) => (globalModalRef = el)} />

Below are the some example with different UI framework using which you can replace the existing modal with your own custom modal

1. With TailwindCSS

Important Note for TypeScript Users

If you're using the Vite default template with TypeScript, you might encounter issues with type declarations not being found. This is because the default tsconfig.json file that comes with the template sets the moduleResolution option to "Bundler".

The moduleResolution option controls how TypeScript resolves module imports. The "Bundler" option is designed to work with bundlers like Webpack or Rollup, which have their own custom module resolution logic.

However, Vite doesn't use custom module resolution logic. Instead, it uses Node.js-style module resolution. This means that when you import a module, TypeScript will look for an index.ts (or index.d.ts for type declarations) file in the specified directory.

To fix the issue with type declarations not being found, you should change the moduleResolution option in your tsconfig.json file to "Node". Here's how you can do this:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "moduleResolution": "Node",
    ...
  },
  ...
}

Note: In the case of customization, if you need more props you can pass the prop while opening the modal and can access the same prop in your custom modal. You can also observe this in the example.
