Goal

When clicking on any Note item, a new Box that displays item content is opened. We can close by OK button, by clicking on outside area, or by pressing ESC key.

How to

Install React Modal

We can use npm or yarn:

npm install react-modal
yarn add react-modal

Or add dependency in package.json:

{
  "name": "add-modal",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "main": "index.js",
  "author": "JavaSampleApproach",
  "scripts": {
    ...
  },
  "dependencies": {
    ...
    "react-modal": "3.3.2",
    ...
  }
}

Then run cmd yarn install.

Create React Modal Component

import React from 'react';
import Modal from 'react-modal';

const modalStyles = {
    content: {
        top: '50%',
        left: '50%',
        right: 'auto',
        bottom: 'auto',
        marginRight: '-50%',
        transform: 'translate(-50%, -50%)'
    }
};

const NoteModal = (props) => (
    <Modal
        isOpen={!!props.selectedNote}
        onRequestClose={props.closeNoteModal}
        style={modalStyles}
        contentLabel='Selected Note'
        ariaHideApp={false}
    >
        <h4>Selected Note</h4>
        <p>{props.selectedNote}</p>
        <button onClick={props.closeNoteModal}>OK</button>
    </Modal>
);

export default NoteModal;

• isOpen indicates that the modal should be shown (true) or not (false).
• onRequestClose: function runs when the modal is requested to be closed (clicking on overlay or pressing ESC).
• style: styles to be used.
• ariaHideApp: describes if the appElement should be hidden (true) or not (false).
