react-motion-modal

react-motion-modal is a flexible modal management library built with Zustand for state management and powered by Framer Motion for beautiful animations. It offers full TypeScript type-safety and allows dynamic modal opening with custom parameters.

✨ Features

• Stack-based modal management (multiple modals at once)
• Type-safe parameters per modal
• Auto-injection of closeModal() into each modal props
• Full intellisense for modal names and parameters
• Easily extensible via module augmentation

🧱 Installation

npm install react-motion-modal

or with yarn:

yarn add react-motion-modal zustand

🚀 Usage

1. Define modal types

Create a modal.d.ts file in your project (make sure to include it in tsconfig.json):

import type { ReactElement } from 'react';
import type { ModalDefinition } from 'react-motion-modal';

declare module 'react-motion-modal' {
  interface ModalDefinition {
    AlertModal: {
        title: string;
    };
    ConfirmModal: {
        onConfirm: () => void;
    };
  }
}

2. Import

Import to define your modals

import { ModalProvider } from 'react-motion-modal';

export const App = () => {

  return <div>
    {...rest-of-your-app}

    <ModalProvider
      modals={{
        AlertModal,
        ConfirmModal,
      }}
    />
  <div/>
}

3. Open modal anywhere

import { useModal } from 'react-motion-modal';

const { openModal } = useModal();

openModal('ConfirmModal', {1  
  title: 'Are you sure you want to delete?',
});

4. Use closeModal inside your modal component

const ConfirmModal = ({ title, closeModal }: ModalDefinition<'ConfirmModal'>) => (
  <div>
    <h1>{title}</h1>
    <button onClick={closeModal}>Close</button>
  </div>
);

🧩 API

openModal(name, params)

Opens a modal by name. The params will be inferred based on modal type.

closeModal(name?)

• If name is provided, closes that specific modal.
• If not, closes the most recent modal (top of the stack).

BaseModalParams

Each modal automatically receives the following props:

Prop	Type	Description
closeModal	() => void	Close function for the modal
closeOnClickOutside	boolean	Close modal when clicking outside
closeOnPressEsc	boolean	Close modal when Escape key is pressed
container	{ className?: string; override?: boolean; }	Customize wrapper styles
body	{ className?: string; override?: boolean; }	Customize inner modal styles
animate	{ animate?: TargetAndTransition; exit?: TargetAndTransition; }	Animation powered by Framer Motion. Customize how the modal enters and exits.
onClose	() => void	Callback triggered when modal is closed

📝 Notes

• Zustand-based, framework-agnostic state management
• Built-in animation system powered by Framer Motion
• You can implement a ModalRenderer to dynamically render modals from modals state
• Great for complex apps requiring nested or dynamic modal stacks
