@lion/dialog v0.16.1

Interaction >> Dialog >> Overview ||10

A web component that wraps a modal dialog controller. Its purpose is to make it easy to use our Overlay System declaratively.

import { html } from '@lion/core';
import '@lion/dialog/define';

import { demoStyle } from './src/demoStyle.js';

export const main = () => html`
  <style>
    ${demoStyle}
  </style>
  <lion-dialog>
    <button slot="invoker">Click me to open dialog</button>
    <div slot="content" class="dialog">
      Hello! You can close this dialog here:
      <button
        class="close-button"
        @click=${e => e.target.dispatchEvent(new Event('close-overlay', { bubbles: true }))}
      >
        ⨯
      </button>
    </div>
  </lion-dialog>
`;

Features

• Show content when clicking the invoker
• Respond to close event in the slot="content" element, to close the content
• Have a .config object to set or update the OverlayController's configuration

Installation

npm i --save @lion/dialog

import { LionDialog } from '@lion/dialog';
// or
import '@lion/dialog/define';

• Your slot="content" node will be moved to the global overlay container during initialization. After, your content node is no longer a child of lion-dialog. If you still need to access it from the lion-dialog you can do so by using the ._overlayContentNode property.
• To close the overlay from within the content node, you need to dispatch a close-overlay event that bubbles. It has to be able to reach the content node.
• If you need to traverse shadow boundaries, you will have to add composed: true as well, although this is discouraged as a practice.

Changing the configuration

You can use the config property on the dialog to change the configuration. The documentation of the full config object can be found in the lion/overlay package or here in Overlay System - Configuration.

The config property uses a setter to merge the passed configuration with the current, so you only overwrite what you pass when updating config.
