const App = () => {
    const [isOpen, setIsOpen] = useState(false);

    const toggleModal = () => {

    };

    return (
        <div>
            <button onClick={toggleModal}>Open Modal</button>
            <Modal open={isOpen}>
                <ModalContent onClose={toggleModal}>
                    <ModalHeader>
                        <ModalTitle>Title of Modal</ModalTitle>
                    </ModalHeader>
                    <ModalDescription>This is the content of the modal.</ModalDescription>
                    <ModalFooter>
                        <button onClick={toggleModal}>Close Modal</button>

Accessibility

The Modal component includes several features to improve accessibility:

• Use of the role="dialog" attribute to identify the modal window as a dialogue, enhancing the experience for screen reader users.
• The aria-modal="true" attribute signals to assistive technologies that the background content is not accessible while the modal is open.
• The aria-labelledby and aria-describedby attributes are used to provide contextual descriptions of the modal:
  • aria-labelledby associates an element, such as a modal title, with the dialogue so that the title is announced.
  • aria-describedby associates a description with the dialogue, offering additional context to users.
• The addition of the tabIndex="-1" attribute to ensure the modal is focused when the user navigates via the keyboard.
• The close button includes an aria-label attribute to describe its function to screen reader users.

---

These best practices enable better interaction with the modal for users utilizing assistive technologies.

Custom Styles

The Modal component allows you to add custom styles using the clsx package, which allows you to easily combine Tailwind classes or your own CSS classes. You don't need to use the component's base classes, you can directly apply your own styles via the className properties of the different sub-components.

Customization

Here is an example of using the component with custom styles:

import { useState } from 'react';
import { Modal, ModalContent, ModalHeader, ModalTitle, ModalDescription, ModalFooter } from 'react-modal-component-hw';
import './styles/main.css';

const App = () => {
 const [isOpen, setIsOpen] = useState(false);

    const toggleModal = () => {
        setIsOpen(!isOpen);
    };

    return (
        <div>
           <button className="btn" onClick={toggleModal}>
                Open modal
            </button>
            <Modal className="custom-modal" open={isOpen}>
                <ModalContent className="custom-modal-container" onClose={toggleModal} stroke="#dfdfdf" size={32}>
                    <ModalHeader className="custom-modal-header">
                        <img className="custom-modal-img" src="./hero.svg" alt="hero" />
                        <ModalTitle className="custom-modal-title">Title of Modal</ModalTitle>
                        <ModalDescription className="custom-modal-description">This is the content of the modal.</ModalDescription>
                    </ModalHeader>
                    <ModalFooter className="custom-modal-footer">
                        <button
                            className="custom-modal-button"
                            onClick={toggleModal}
                        >
                            Close Modal
                        </button>
                    </ModalFooter>
