@jsrob/svelte-portal v0.2.1

svelte-portal

A Svelte 5 component that lets you render some children into a different part of the DOM.

Installation

npm install @jsrob/svelte-portal

Usage

To create a portal, use the <Portal> component and pass in a target and children:

<script>
	import { Portal } from '@jsrob/svelte-portal';
</script>

<Portal target="body">
	<p>This child is placed in the document body.</p>
</Portal>

Another example, a modal that is rendered into the body when a button is clicked:

<script>
	import { Portal } from '@jsrob/svelte-portal';

	let open = $state(false);
</script>

<button onclick={() => (open = true)}>Open Modal</button>

<Portal target="body">
	{#if open}
		<div class="modal">
			<p>Hello from the modal!</p>
			<button onclick={() => (open = false)}>Close</button>
		</div>
	{/if}
</Portal>

<style>
	.modal {
		position: fixed;
		z-index: 999;
		top: 20%;
		left: 50%;
		width: 300px;
		margin-left: -150px;
	}
</style>

You can also pass components as children:

<script>
	import { Portal } from '@jsrob/svelte-portal';
	import Component from './Component.svelte';
</script>

<Portal target="#element">
	<Component />
</Portal>

Props

All props can be changed dynamically.

Caveats

When updating the target or disabled prop value, components in the default snippet are unmounted and re-mounted, which means any changes to their local state are lost.

If you need to persist state, use some sort of state management.
