solid-dismissible

SolidJS utility for creating dismissible, nestable layers. Offers different strategies to dismiss the layer, such as on outside click, escape key press, or outside focus.

Features

• Supports nested layers
• Dismiss on outside pointer down/up, outside focus or escape key
• Is headless, doesn't create extra DOM elements
• Every dismiss strategy can be disabled/customized
• Events can be cancelled
• Compatible with corvu primitives as they use this utility

Usage

import Dismissible from 'solid-dismissible'

const DialogContent: Component<{
  open: boolean
  setOpen: (open: boolean) => void
}> = (props) => {
  const [contentRef, setContentRef] = createSignal<HTMLElement | null>(null)

  return (
    <Dismissible
      element={contentRef}
      enabled={open()}
      onDismiss={() => setOpen(false)}
    >
      <Show when={props.open()}>
        <div ref={setContentRef}>Dialog</div>
      </Show>
    </Dismissible>
  )
}

Tracking active dismissibles

The utility exports a activeDismissibles signal that can be used to track active dismissibles. It includes an array of all currently active dismissible ids.

import { activeDismissibles } from 'solid-dismissible'

createEffect(() => {
  console.log('Currently active dismissibles: ', activeDismissibles())
})
