@github/details-dialog-element

<details-dialog> element

A modal dialog opened with a <details> button.

Installation

Available on npm as @github/details-dialog-element.

$ npm install --save @github/details-dialog-element

Usage

Script

Import as ES modules:

import '@github/details-dialog-element'

Include with a script tag:

<script type="module" src="./node_modules/@github/details-dialog-element/dist/index.js">

Markup

<details>
  <summary>Open dialog</summary>
  <details-dialog>
    Modal content
    <button type="button" data-close-dialog>Close</button>
  </details-dialog>
</details>

Deferred loading

Dialog content can be loaded from a server by embedding an [<include-fragment>][fragment] element.

<details>
  <summary>Robots</summary>
  <details-dialog src="/robots" preload>
    <include-fragment>Loading…</include-fragment>
  </details-dialog>
</details>

The src attribute value is copied to the <include-fragment> the first time the <details> button is toggled open, which starts the server fetch.

If the preload attribute is present, hovering over the <details> element will trigger the server fetch.

Events
