Modal Basis

Simple modal component

Works on modern browsers only (uses es6 modules and css custom properties)

Usage

The triggering element (button or anchor) needs to contain data-toggle="modal" attribute.

An eventual closing element needs to have the .dismiss class and to be inside the .modal element. It can only be triggered with a 'click' event.

Options

.--no-overlay

By default, triggering a .modal element will also trigger the page's #overlay element*. This behaviour can been changed by adding a .--no-overlay class on the .modal element.

<div class="modal --no-overlay">Lorem ipsum...</div>

*overlay element is dynamically included through Overlay Basis dependency.

.--lock-overlay

The .modal element is dismissed when the page's #overlay is clicked. To change this behaviour, just add a .--lock-overlay class on the .modal element.

<div class="modal --lock-overlay">Lorem ipsum...</div>

Let's see some 'core' examples (just wait for the 'modifier' section for funnier stuff):

Trigger a .modal with a button, through a [data-target] attribute

<!-- this button will toggle a '.modal' element which 'id' is 'targeted-modal' -->
<button data-toggle="modal" data-target="#targeted-modal">Show</button>
 
<!-- this is the '.modal' element that will be triggered -->
<div id="targeted-modal" class="modal">
    <button class="dismiss">Hide</button>
    <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...</p>
</div>

Trigger a .modal with an anchor, through a [href] attribute

<!-- this anchor tag will toggle a '.modal' element which 'id' is 'targeted-modal' -->
<a data-toggle="modal" href="#targeted-modal">Show</a>
 
<!-- this is the '.modal' element that will be triggered -->
<div id="targeted-modal" class="modal">
    <button class="dismiss">Hide</button>
    <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...</p>
</div>

Trigger a .modal with a button inside a .modal-group element

No need for a data-target or a href attributes on the triggering element here, but data-toggle="modal" is still mandatory.

<div class="modal-group">
 
    <!-- trigger and '.modal' are enclosed by a '.modal-group' element,
    no need for a [data-target] or a [href] attributes here -->
    <button data-toggle="modal">Show</button>
 
    <div class="modal">
        <button class="dismiss">Hide</button>
        <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...</p>
    </div>
 
</div>

Modifiers

Default .modal behaviour can be extended by adding some modifier classes.

Transitions

Modal Basis has a few bonus classes to make a .modal element slide from one side of the screen: .--transition-top, .--transition-right, .--transition-bottom, .--transition-left:

<div class="modal --transition-left">

There is also a .--transition-scale modifier:

<div class="modal --transition-scale">

Modal dialog box

The .--type-dialog class constrains the .modal element to the center of the view (horizontally and vertically).

Its dimensions are reduced to half its width by default: <div class="modal --type-dialog">

It can also leverage a transition modifier: <div class="modal --type-dialog --transition-top">
