react-popup-manager ·

Manage react popups, Modals, Lightboxes, Notifications etc.

What

An agnostic react provider that lets you handle opening and closing popups separately from you're Component render function.

Why

• No need to manage the isOpen state
• No need to think where the Component should be written.
• No need to have a component nested behind any inline conditional rendering
• Most important - a single paradigm for handling popups, Modals, Lightboxes, Notifications etc. etc.
  

An example of how using this library will simplify your code

The Old Way	The react-popup-manager Way

How

install

$ npm i --save react-popup-manager
$ yarn add react-popup-manager

example

Here is a simple example of how to use react-popup-manager

Wrap the root of the app with PopupProvider

// app.jsx
import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import { PopupProvider } from "react-popup-manager";
import { Main } from "./Main";

ReactDOM.render(
  <PopupProvider>
    <Main />
  </PopupProvider>,
  document.getElementById("root")
);

Use the hook usePopupManager to open a modal

// main.jsx
import React from "react";
import { usePopupManager } from "react-popup-manager";
import { MyModal } from './MyModal'

export const Main = () => {
  const popupManager = usePopupManager();
  const openModal = () => {
    // open MyModal with it's needed `props` and an `onClose` callback function
    popupManager.open(MyModal, {
      title: 'my modal',
      onClose: (...params) => console.log('modal has closed with:', ...params), // modal has closed with: param param2 param3
    }); 
  }
  return (
      <div>
        <button onClick={() => openModal()}>
          open modal
        </button>
      </div>
  );
}

The modal Component will receive the sent props and will also have isOpen and onClose added by the popupManager.
onClose will trigger the popupManager to close the modal

// MyModal.jsx
import React from 'react';
import Modal from 'react-modal';

export const MyModal = ({title, isOpen, onClose}) => {

    const close = () => {
        // `onClose` will close the modal and will call the callback defined in main.jsx
        onClose('param', 'param2', 'param3');
    }

    return (
            <Modal isOpen={isOpen} >
               <span>{title}</span>
               <button onClick={close}> close </button>
             </Modal>
    );
}

The library is agnostic to any popup library you decide to use.
