React Modal hook

A simple React hook for modals.

About this package

It is common practice, to use boolean flags like isOpen to decide whether the modal is displayed or not. Also, the data of the modal might come from a global state. However, when juggling with many modals, this can be a confusing, and can cause errors, like displaying multiple modals at the same time.

This package uses a key for every modal to switch between them. With a openModal function, you can open a modal, and pass it props.

I recommend to hook it up only once, in your root level component, so there is one source of truth for the realm of modals.

Example

import { useModal } from "@kakekomu/react-modal"

const App = () => {
  const [activeModal, modalHandlers] = useModal({
    myModal: Modal,
  })
  return (
    <div>
      {activeModal}
      <h1>React Modal example</h1>
      <a href="index.tsx">Source code</a>

      <button
        onClick={() =>
          modalHandlers.toggleModal("myModal", {
            message: "This custom message is passed as a prop.",
            onClose: modalHandlers.closeModal,
          })
        }
      >
        Toggle Modal
      </button>

      <button
        onClick={() =>
          modalHandlers.openModal("myModal", {
            message: "The message can be different.",
            onClose: modalHandlers.closeModal,
          })
        }
      >
        Open Modal
      </button>
    </div>
  )
}

interface Props {
  message: string
  onClose: () => void
}

const Modal: React.FunctionComponent<Props> = ({ message, onClose }) => (
  <div
    style={{
      position: "fixed",
      left: "50%",
      padding: "10px",
      border: "1px solid gray",
      width: "300px",
      height: "200px",
    }}
  >
    <h1>This is a Modal</h1>
    <p>{message}</p>
    <button onClick={onClose}>Close</button>
  </div>
)
