Nowadays, Modals are one of the most used components in React Application, having an easy way to create React Modals will help you sheep Modals related features fast in your upcoming React Applications.
In this tutorial, we will build A simple React Modal using only 22 lines of code.
The gif below will help you understand what we are trying to build
Let's started
Create React Project
First, create a simple react project using create-react-app CLI.
$ npx Create-react-app SimpleModalimport React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import "./styles.css";
function App() {
return (
<div className="App">
<h1>Create React Modal in X line of code </h1>
<button>Click Me</button>
</div>
);
}
const rootElement = document.getElementById("root");
ReactDOM.render(<App />, rootElement);
In this tutorial, we will use the react-popup package which is a simple and Powerful react component with a lot of benefits :
- Modal, Tooltip, Menu: All in one 🏋️
- Full style customization 👌
- Function as children pattern to take control over your popup anywhere in your code. 💪
- IE Support. 🚀
- TypeScript Support 👌
- All these clocks in at around 3 kB zipped. ⚡️
This package is available in npm repository as reactjs-popup. It will work correctly with all popular bundlers.
$ yarn add reactjs-popupCreate React Modal
Import
PopupAdd
triggermodal import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import Popup from "reactjs-popup";
import "./styles.css";
function App() {
return (
<div className="App">
<h1>Create React Modal with 22 line of code </h1>
<Popup modal trigger={<button>Click Me</button>}>
Modal Content
</Popup>
</div>
);
}
const rootElement = document.getElementById("root");
ReactDOM.render(<App />, rootElement);
Customizing and Styling React Modal
we need to create a
Content.js//content.js
import React from "react";
export default ({ close }) => (
<div className="modal">
<a className="close" onClick={close}>
×
</a>
<div className="header"> Modal Title </div>
<div className="content">
{" "}

</div>
</div>
);
/* index.css */
.modal {
font-size: 12px;
}
.modal > .header {
width: 100%;
border-bottom: 1px solid gray;
font-size: 18px;
text-align: center;
padding: 5px;
}
.modal > .content {
width: 100%;
padding: 10px 5px;
}
.modal > .actions {
margin: auto;
}
.modal > .actions {
width: 100%;
padding: 10px 5px;
text-align: center;
}
.modal > .close {
cursor: pointer;
position: absolute;
display: block;
padding: 2px 5px;
line-height: 20px;
right: -10px;
top: -10px;
font-size: 24px;
background: #ffffff;
border-radius: 18px;
border: 1px solid #cfcece;
}
Now it's time for some magic
Because
reactjs-popupwe will update our example to use a function as a child instead of a react element to implement `close` button.
//index.js
import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import Popup from "reactjs-popup";
import Content from "./Content.js";
import "./styles.css";
function App() {
return (
<div className="App">
<h1>Create React Modal with 22 line of code </h1>
<Popup modal trigger={<button>Click Me</button>}>
{close => <Content close={close} />}
</Popup>
</div>
);
}
const rootElement = document.getElementById("root");
ReactDOM.render(<App />, rootElement);Final Result
