Vue Modal

A flexible & responsive modal component for Vue.js 2. Looks nice and clean on all devices.

Live Demo

Installation via NPM

npm i @voerro/vue-modal --save-dev

or

npm i @voerro/vue-modal --save

Then import the component:

import { Modal, VoerroModal } from '@voerro/vue-modal';

Vue.component('modal', Modal);
window.VoerroModal = VoerroModal;

Usage

Add an empty component somewhere inside your template.

<modal></modal>

Generating Modals Dynamically

Call VoerroModal.show() from anywhere in your script/Vue code. Example call:

VoerroModal.show({
    title: 'Modal Title',
    body: 'Modal Body (HTML is supported here)',
    buttons: [
        {
            text: 'Ok',
            handler: () => {
                alert('You pressed Ok');
            }
        },
        {
            text: 'Cancel'
        }
    ]
});

You can add as many buttons as you need. When you press a button, the button's handler gets called and then the modal closes. If there's no handler, the modal will close immediately without any additional actions taking place.

Buttons - Options

To add buttons to a modal include an array of button objects. Each object can have the following properties (options):

Property	Type	Default	Required	Description
text	String	''	yes	The text of the button
handler	function	undefined	no	The function which will be called on button press. The default action is to hide the modal, so you don't have to include anything if the button click should only close the modal.
preventDefault	Boolean	undefined (false)	no	Even if you provide a handler, the modal will be closed after the action is done. To prevent that set this property to true.
class	String	''	no	Additional CSS class(es) to add to the button.
type	String	'button'	no	Button type: 'submit', 'reset', or 'button'.

Ajax

You can fetch the modal's body via Ajax. To do so provide a bodyUrl URL instead of a body. Example:

VoerroModal.show({
    title: 'Modal Title',
    bodyUrl: 'http://example.com/add-user-modal',
    buttons: [
        {
            text: 'Submit',
            handler: () => {
                alert('Submitting the form...');
            }
        },
        {
            text: 'Cancel'
        }
    ]
});

Inline Modals

You can have multiple inline modals. "Inline" means a modal's content is stored within the HTML code of a page. Each modal should have a unique id. See an example below.

HTML:

<modal id="inline-modal" v-cloak>
    <template slot="title">Inline Title</template>

    <div slot="body">
        This body, as well as the title, are stored directly within the HTML of your page.
    </div>

    <div slot="footer">
        You'll have to implement the buttons completely yourself, in case you need them of course.
    </div>
</modal>

<modal id="inline-modal-two" v-cloak>
    <template slot="title">Inline 2</template>

    <div slot="body">This is a different inline modal with a different id.</div>
</modal>

JS/ES:

// Show the modal with the id = 'inline-modal'
VoerroModal.show('inline-modal');

// Show the modal with the id = 'inline-modal-two'
VoerroModal.show('inline-modal-two');

You can still include an object with options (including dynamically generated buttons) in the method call.

VoerroModal.show('inline-modal', {
    buttons: [
        {
            text: 'Ok',
            handler: () => {
                alert('You pressed ok');
            }
        },
        { text: 'CLose' }
    ]
});

Note: don't delete the empty <modal></modal> component from your page if you also want to use dynamically generated modals.

<modal> Properties
