react-modal-hook

Syntactic sugar for handling modal windows using React Hooks.

This library does not provide any UI, but instead offers a convenient way to render modal components defined elsewhere.

For a simple modal component check out react-modal, which works well with this library.

Install

npm install --save react-modal-hook

Usage

Use ModalProvider to provide modal context for your application:

import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import { ModalProvider } from "react-modal-hook";
import App from "./App";

ReactDOM.render(
  <ModalProvider>
    <App />
  </ModalProvider>,
  document.getElementById("root")
);

Call useModal with the dialog component of your choice. Example using react-modal:

import React from "react";
import ReactModal from "react-modal";
import { useModal } from "react-modal-hook";

const App = () => {
  const [showModal, hideModal] = useModal(() => (
    <ReactModal isOpen>
      <p>Modal content</p>
      <button onClick={hideModal}>Hide modal</button>
    </ReactModal>
  ));

  return <button onClick={showModal}>Show modal</button>;
};

Updating Modals

Second argument to useModals should contain an array of values referenced inside the modal:

const App = () => {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
  const [showModal] = useModal(
    () => (
      <ReactModal isOpen>
        <span>The count is {count}</span>
        <button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>Increment</button>
      </ReactModal>
    ),
    [count]
  );

  return <button onClick={showModal}>Show modal</button>;
};

Modals are also functional components and can use react hooks themselves:

const App = () => {
  const [showModal] = useModal(() => {
    const [count, setCount] = useState(0);

    return (
      <ReactModal isOpen>
        <span>The count is {count}</span>
        <button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>Increment</button>
      </ReactModal>
    );
  });

  return <button onClick={showModal}>Show modal</button>;
};

Animated Modals

Use TransitionGroup as the container for the modals:

import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import { ModalProvider } from "react-modal-hook";
import { TransitionGroup } from "react-transition-group";
import App from "./App";

ReactDOM.render(
  <ModalProvider rootComponent={TransitionGroup}>
    <App />
  </ModalProvider>,
  document.getElementById("root")
);

When TransitionGroup detects of one of its children removed, it will set its in prop to false and wait for onExited callback to be called before removing it from the DOM.

Those props are automatically added to all components passed to useModal. You can can pass them down to CSSTransition or modal component with transition support.

Here's an example using Material-UI's Dialog:

import React from "react";
import { useModal } from "react-modal-hook";
import { Button, Dialog, DialogActions, DialogTitle } from "@material-ui/core";

const App = () => {
  const [showModal, hideModal] = useModal(({ in: open, onExited }) => (
    <Dialog open={open} onExited={onExited} onClose={hideModal}>
      <DialogTitle>Dialog Content</DialogTitle>
      <DialogActions>
        <Button onClick={hideModal}>Close</Button>
      </DialogActions>
    </Dialog>
  ));

  return <Button onClick={showModal}>Show modal</Button>;
};
