@react-md/dialog

Create fully accessible dialogs that can span the entire page, centered within the viewport, or positioned anywhere. The dialogs can also act as a modal so that the user must press one of the actions to close the dialog instead of closing by pressing the background overlay.

The main accessibility features and other features for dialogs are:

  • automatically managing focus to and from the dialog when it mounts
  • allowing a user key press the escape key to close the dialog
  • applying the required roles and aria-* attributes
  • adding additional prominence to the dialog with the alertdialog role as needed (see docs for this one)
  • conditionally portaling the dialogs to help with overflow issues and other display errors
  • disabling scroll for the main window while a dialog is visible

Installation

npm install --save @react-md/dialog

This package also goes great with the following packages:

npm install --save @react-md/theme \
  @react-md/utils \
  @react-md/typography \
  @react-md/button \
  @react-md/app-bar

Example

This package exports multiple components to create your dialog as well as a context component for handling multiple dialogs at once within your page.

import { render } from "react-dom";
import { Button } from "@react-md/button";
import {
  Dialog,
  DialogHeader,
  DialogTitle,
  DialogContent,
  DialogFooter,
} from "@react-md/dialog";
import { useToggle } from "@react-md/utils";

const App = () => {
  return (
    <>
      <Button id="dialog-toggle" onClick={enable}>
        Show Dialog
      </Button>
      <Dialog
        id="main-dialog"
        visible={visible}
        onRequestClose={disable}
        aria-labelledby="main-dialog-title"
      >
        <DialogHeader>
          <DialogTitle id="main-dialog-title">My Dialog</DialogTitle>
        </DialogHeader>
        <DialogContent>This is some content.</DialogContent>
        <DialogFooter>
          <Button id="main-dialog-close" onClick={disable}>
            Close
          </Button>
        </DialogFooter>
      </Dialog>
    </>
  );
};

render(<App />, document.getElementById("root"));
