Installation

Npm:

npm i @dwmt/modalis

Yarn:

yarn add @dwmt/modalis

Pnpm:

pnpm i @dwmt/modalis

Preparation

We will need to create a ModalisContext because each open modal will be registered in that context. We have two possible options for you:

1. The Provider component way (Recommended)
2. The Vue plugin way

The Provider component way (Recommended)

First, you have to wrap your application with the ModalisProvider component, which will give you the possibility to use Modalis within your components. ModalisProvider does two things:

1. It creates a context, so you can access that context anywhere in your application
2. It renders the open modals and teleports them into the body

To achieve that, you only need to import ModalisProvider and wrap your app with it.

App.vue:

<template>
	<ModalisProvider>
		<router-view></router-view>
	</ModalisProvider>
</template>
<script lang="ts" setup>
import { ModalisProvider } from '@dwmt/modalis'
</script>

With that, every single component inside ModalisProvider can open up a modal.

Attention! Only ModalisProvider's children can access modalis. If you try to open a modal in a component, which is not the descendant of ModalisProvider, your code will fail!

The Vue plugin way

The old way to register Modalis is to install it with Vue's plugin system.

import { createApp } from 'vue'
import { createContext } from '@dwmt/modalis'
import App from './App.vue'

const modalisContext = createContext()

createApp(App).use(modalisContext).mount('#app')

With that approach, your entire application can access the Modalis context.

You also need to render the modals, so you will need the ModalView too.

<template>
	<div>
		<router-view></router-view>
		<ModalisView />
	</div>
</template>
<script lang="ts" setup>
import { ModalisView } from '@dwmt/modalis'
</script>

Modals

Cool! 🎉 You are all set. Now you can create and show modals. But... how?

Let us show you!

Creating a modal configuration

The first step on the path of the modals is the createModal function. With that function, you can create a configuration object, which will represent how your newly created modal will behave.

The createModal function has two generic types:

1. DataType
2. ReturnType

By default both the DataType and ReturnType are void. That means, you can call your modal without parameters, and it won't return any value.
