Modal

Modals are streamlined, but flexible, dialog prompts with the minimum required functionality and smart defaults.

Example

Toggle a modal by clicking the button below. It will slide down and fade in from the top of the page.

A simple modal example with callback:

vue
<template>
  <Btn type="primary" @click="open = true">Launch Demo Modal</Btn>
  <Modal
    id="modal-demo"
    ref="modal"
    v-model="open"
    title="Modal 1"
    @hide="callback"
  >
    <h4>Text in a modal</h4>
    <p>Duis mollis, est non commodo luctus, nisi erat porttitor ligula.</p>
    <h4>Popover in a modal</h4>
    <p>
      This
      <btn
        v-popover:modal-demo="{
          title: 'Title',
          content: 'Some popover content...',
        }"
        >button</btn
      >
      should trigger a popover on click.
    </p>
    <h4>Tooltips in a modal</h4>
    <p>
      <a v-tooltip:modal-demo="'Tooltip'" role="button">This link</a>
      <span>and</span>
      <a v-tooltip:modal-demo="'Tooltip'" role="button">that link</a>
      <span>should have tooltips on hover.</span>
    </p>
    <hr />
    <h4>Overflowing text to show scroll behavior</h4>

  </Modal>
</template>

<script setup>
import {
  Modal,
  Btn,
  Notification,
  popover as vPopover,
  tooltip as vTooltip,
} from 'uiv';
import { ref } from 'vue';

const open = ref(false);

function callback(msg) {
  Notification.notify(`Modal dismissed with msg '${msg}'.`);
}
</script>

Optional sizes

Modals have two optional sizes: lg and sm.

vue
<template>
  <Btn type="primary" @click="open1 = true">Large Modal</Btn>
  <Btn type="primary" @click="open2 = true">Small Modal</Btn>
  <Modal v-model="open1" title="Modal Title" size="lg">
    <p>This is a large modal.</p>
  </Modal>
  <Modal v-model="open2" title="Modal Title" size="sm">
    <p>This is a small modal.</p>
  </Modal>
</template>

<script setup>
import { Modal, Btn } from 'uiv';
import { ref } from 'vue';

const open1 = ref(false);
const open2 = ref(false);
</script>

Custom header

  • Use title slot to customize the modal title.
  • Set header prop to false to hide the modal header.
  • You can also use header slot to take full control of the modal header. Notice that this slot will override title slot since it is a completely replacement
vue
<template>
  <Btn type="primary" @click="open1 = true">HTML Title</Btn>
  <Btn type="primary" @click="open2 = true">No Header</Btn>
  <Modal v-model="open1">
    <template #title>
      <span><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-heart"></i> Modal Title</span>
    </template>
    <p>This is a modal with HTML title.</p>
  </Modal>
  <Modal v-model="open2" :header="false">
    <p>This is a modal with no header.</p>
  </Modal>
</template>

<script setup>
import { Modal, Btn } from 'uiv';
import { ref } from 'vue';

const open1 = ref(false);
const open2 = ref(false);
</script>
  • Use footer slot to customize the modal footer.
  • Set footer prop to false to hide the modal footer.
vue
<template>
  <Btn type="primary" @click="open1 = true">Custom Footer</Btn>
  <Btn type="primary" @click="open2 = true">No Footer</Btn>
  <Modal v-model="open1" title="Modal Title">
    <p>This is a modal with custom footer.</p>
    <template #footer>
      <div>
        <Btn @click="open1 = false">Cancel</Btn>
        <Btn type="warning">Warning Action</Btn>
        <Btn type="danger">Danger Action</Btn>
      </div>
    </template>
  </Modal>
  <Modal v-model="open2" title="Modal Title" :footer="false">
    <p>This is a modal with no footer.</p>
  </Modal>
</template>

<script setup>
import { Modal, Btn } from 'uiv';
import { ref } from 'vue';

const open1 = ref(false);
const open2 = ref(false);
</script>

Custom button texts and types

  • Use ok-text and cancel-text to customize button texts
  • Use ok-type and cancel-type to customize button types
vue
<template>
  <Btn type="primary" @click="open = true">Custom Button Text and Type</Btn>
  <Modal
    v-model="open"
    title="Are you sure?"
    ok-text="Yes, please"
    cancel-text="No way!"
    ok-type="danger"
    cancel-type="warning"
  >
    <p>Do you really want to destroy this item?</p>
  </Modal>
</template>

<script setup>
import { Modal, Btn } from 'uiv';
import { ref } from 'vue';

const open = ref(false);
</script>

Auto focus

Auto focus on footer button with data-action="auto-focus" attribute after modal open. By default it is the OK button.

Disable backdrop

Set backdrop prop to false to disable the modal dismiss action on backdrop click.

vue
<template>
  <Btn type="primary" @click="open = true">Disable Backdrop</Btn>
  <Modal v-model="open" title="Modal Title" :backdrop="false">
    <p>This is a modal that can not close by backdrop click.</p>
  </Modal>
</template>

<script setup>
import { Modal, Btn } from 'uiv';
import { ref } from 'vue';

const open = ref(false);
</script>

Disable animation

Set transition to 0 to disable modal animations.

vue
<template>
  <Btn type="primary" @click="open = true">Disable Animation</Btn>
  <Modal v-model="open" title="Modal Title" :transition="0">
    <p>This is a modal that has no transition effect.</p>
  </Modal>
</template>

<script setup>
import { Modal, Btn } from 'uiv';
import { ref } from 'vue';

const open = ref(false);
</script>

Nested modals

Note that if you want modals to be real nested to each other, you have to add append-to-body prop to them. For example:

vue
<template>
  <Btn type="primary" @click="open1 = true">Open set of nested modals</Btn>
  <!-- `append-to-body` not required here -->
  <Modal ref="modal1" v-model="open1" title="Modal 1" size="lg">
    <p>This is a simple large modal.</p>
    <p>Click on the button below to open a nested modal.</p>
    <Btn type="info" @click="open2 = true">Open Modal 2</Btn>
    <!-- `append-to-body` required, because this is a nested modal -->
    <Modal ref="modal2" v-model="open2" title="Modal 2" append-to-body>
      <p>This is a nested modal.</p>
      <Btn type="info" @click="open3 = true">Open Modal 3</Btn>
      <!-- `append-to-body` required, because this is a nested modal -->
      <Modal
        ref="modal3"
        v-model="open3"
        title="Modal 3"
        size="sm"
        append-to-body
      >
        <p>This is another nested modal.</p>
      </Modal>
    </Modal>
  </Modal>
</template>

<script setup>
import { Modal, Btn } from 'uiv';
import { ref } from 'vue';

const open1 = ref(false);
const open2 = ref(false);
const open3 = ref(false);
</script>

Otherwise, you can simply nest them logically, without any extra settings:

vue
<template>
  <Btn type="primary" @click="open1 = true"
    >Open set of nested modals (logically)</Btn
  >
  <Modal v-model="open1" title="Modal 1" size="lg">
    <p>This is a simple large modal.</p>
    <p>Click on the button below to open a nested modal.</p>
    <Btn type="info" @click="open2 = true">Open Modal 2</Btn>
  </Modal>
  <Modal v-model="open2" title="Modal 2">
    <p>This is a nested modal.</p>
    <Btn type="info" @click="open3 = true">Open Modal 3</Btn>
  </Modal>
  <Modal v-model="open3" title="Modal 3" size="sm">
    <p>This is another nested modal.</p>
  </Modal>
</template>

<script setup>
import { Modal, Btn } from 'uiv';
import { ref } from 'vue';

const open1 = ref(false);
const open2 = ref(false);
const open3 = ref(false);
</script>
