FlourModal

An all purpose modal plugin for Vue 3. Easy to use and customise, with a modern but minimalist design, and zero dependencies. And you can use your own components alongside it!

Installation

npm install flour-modal

Usage

Import it in your component

import { fModal } from "flour-modal";
import "flour-modal/styles.css";

With Composition API

const modal = fModal();

const openModal = () => {
    modal.open({
        title: 'Awesome!',
        message: 'You have successfully installed the FlourModal plugin. Please press OK to continue.',
        defaultCTALabel: 'Got it!',
    });
};

<template>
    <button type="button" @click="openModal"> Open modal </button>
</template>

With Options API

export default defineComponent({
    methods: {
        openModal() {
            fModal().open({
                title: 'Awesome!',
                message: 'You have successfully installed the FlourModal plugin. Please press OK to continue.',
                defaultCTALabel: 'Got it!'
            });
        },
    },
});

Using your own component within the modal

You'll likely want to display one of your components as a modal. Simply pass it as the child prop and that's it! If your component already has its own CTA and you don't need the default one, just set the defaultCTA prop as false.

import YourComponent from "@/components/YourComponent.vue";
import { fModal } from "flour-modal";
import "flour-modal/styles.css";

const modal = fModal();

modal.open({
    title: 'Use your own component',
    child: YourComponent,
    defaultCTA: false,
});

How do I close the modal?

Clicking the default CTA button or outside of the modal or pressing the Escape key will close the modal.

If you're using your own component and need to close the modal from it, FlourModal provides its own internal method called closeModal which you can simply inject like so and then just call it wherever you need.

import { inject } from "vue";

const close = inject('closeModal');

Available props

Name	Type	Optional	Default
title	String	Yes	-
message	String	Yes	-
child	Component	Yes	-
defaultCTA	boolean	Yes	true
defaultCTALabel	String	Yes	OK
intent	String	Yes	default

Making the modal available globally

If you're going to use modals in many different places then it might be worth it to make the modal available globally:

import { createApp } from 'vue';
import FlourModal from "flour-modal";
import "flour-modal/styles.css";

const app = createApp(App);

app.use(FlourModal);
app.mount('#app');

This will make a global $flourModal property available inside any component template which you can use like this:

<template>
  <button
      @click="$flourModal.open({
          title: 'Awesome!',
          message: 'You have successfully installed the FlourModal plugin. Please press OK to continue.',
      })"
  > Open modal </button>
</template>

NOTE: If you're using the Options API and you want to use this outside of the component template then you'll have to reference it as this.$flourModal; With the Compositon API, you'll have to inject it like so: const $flourModal = inject('$flourModal');
