react-redux-popup v3.0.4

React Redux Popup

Set of components to handle modal dialog and popups with redux actions.

Version 3.0

• Big changes from 2.x.x. Instead of using HOC to decorate the Popup or Modal containers, I've used render function property to define the view component on the Popup. I believe using render function property makes it easier to define the property that only applies to the component, which makes easier for doing flowtypes and debugging later.
• React v16 only, because it leverages its Portal API)
• For React v15.5 - use version 2.x

Features

• Portal design - benefit of the portal is that you don't have to mess with z-index.
• Auto positioning based on the resize and scrolling events (See Scrolling Section)
• Smart positioning based on the popup content size and available window space

Redux Actions

• openPopup(id)
  • id: id of the popup to open
• closePopup(id)
  • id: id of the popup to close
• refreshPopupPosition()
  • Refresh popup position, such as on scroll. The refreshing is throttled (with requestAnimationFrame), so that you don't have to throttle in your call.

Components

• Modal - creates a modal in the center of the screen with layover, so that nothing can be clicked outside. Must dispatch closePopup from the modal in order to close it

  • Properties:
    • id - required id
    • className - the modal class name
    • getPortalElement - optional portal element, or define Portal component elsewhere and let it take care of this
    • layoverClassName - the layover class name
    • render - the required render function
    • style - optional styles to apply on the modal
    • transitionEnterTimeout - enter transition time (defaults to 300ms)
    • transitionExitTimeout - exit transition time (defaults to 300ms)
    • transitionName - the transition name. Defaults to modal. See Animation for more details. This property directly translates to classNames property from CSSTransition, so you can also use the object to define specific class names.

• Popup - creates a popup on the location specified in options argument on openPopup. Clicking outside of the popup should close this popup or with dispatching closePopup action.

  • Properties:
    • anchor - default to 'bottom' bottom|left|right|top
    • className - the popup class name
    • closePopup - optionally define closePopup handler
    • getRect - the required function to describe the position that the popup should appear. The return of the function should be same as element.getBoundingClientRect() object or use that for simplicity. i.e. getRect={() => element.getBoundingClientRect()}
    • getPortalElement - optional portal element, or define Portal component elsewhere and let it take care of this
    • id - required id
    • render - the required render function
    • style - optional styles to apply on the popup
    • offset - the offset distance from the anchored element in pixels
    • transitionEnterTimeout - enter transition time (defaults to 100ms)
    • transitionExitTimeout - exit transition time (defaults to 100ms)
    • transitionName - the transition name. Defaults to popup. See Animation for more details. This property directly translates to classNames property from CSSTransition, so you can also use the object to define specific class names

• Portal - this component is where the popup and modal will be rendered to. Or you can define your own portal element and pass that to Modal and/or Popup components via getPortalElement property.

Usage

Define portal

Portal component basically defines where your modal or popup should be rendering on. So define this below your app root or just below the App component.

import { Portal } from 'react-redux-popup';

render(
    <Provider store={store}>
        <div>
            <App />
            <Portal />
        </div>
    </Provider>
, document.body);

Alternatively, you can define your own portal element and assign it to Modal and Popup component. One caveat to this is that this portal element must be defined before the Modal or Popup component gets mounted.

<Popup
    getPortalElement={() => document.getElementById('portalRoot')}
/>

Reducer

import { combineReducers, createStore } from 'redux';
import { popupReducer } from 'react-redux-popup';

const reducers = combineReducers({
    popup: popupReducer
});
const store = createStore(reducers);

Component

import { PureComponent } from 'react-redux-popup';
import { connect } from 'react-redux';
import PopupView from 'popup-view';

// you can connect the view like this, then pass to render prop
const ConnectedView = connect()(PopupView);

let elem;
export default props => (
    <div>
        <button
            onClick={() => props.openPopup('popup1')}
            ref={ btn => { elem = btn; }}
        >
            Open
        </button>
        <Popup
            getRect={() => elem.getBoundingClientRect()}
            id="popup1"
            render={() => <ConnectedView />}
        />
    </div>
);

Animation

Animation support has been added with ReactTransitionGroup. To use, you must specify transition enter/exit timeout properties for the components and define css to handle the animation and define the following styles. Note version 2.x had leave for exit transition in accordance with the version of react-transition-group that it was using. The 3.x uses exit to follow the latest version of react-transition-group.

.modal-enter .modal-container {
}
.modal-enter .modal-layover {
}
.modal-enter.modal-enter-active .modal-container {
}
.modal-enter.modal-enter-active .modal-layover {
}
.modal-exit .modal-container {
}
.modal-exit .modal-layover {
}
.modal-exit.modal-exit-active .modal-container {
}
.modal-exit.modal-exit-active .modal-layover {
}

.popup-enter {
}
.popup-enter.popup-enter-active {
}
.popup-exit {
}
.popup-exit.popup-exit-active {
}

Scrolling

Scrolling event isn't something that can't be watched from global document, so the solution is to call refreshPopupPosition action to refresh the positions on the popups that are open. Modal doesn't get repositioned from this action.
