Basic example

Default modal backdrop is a delicate shadow overlaying the rest of the page design.

<!-- Button trigger modal -->
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-mdb-toggle="modal" data-mdb-target="#exampleModal">
  Launch demo modal
</button>

<!-- Modal -->
<div class="modal top fade" id="exampleModal" tabindex="-1" aria-labelledby="exampleModalLabel"
  aria-hidden="true" data-mdb-backdrop="true" data-mdb-keyboard="true">
  <div class="modal-dialog  ">
    <div class="modal-content">
      <div class="modal-header">
        <h5 class="modal-title" id="exampleModalLabel">Modal title</h5>
        <button type="button" class="btn-close" data-mdb-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"></button>
      </div>
      <div class="modal-body">...</div>
      <div class="modal-footer">
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-mdb-dismiss="modal">
          Close
        </button>
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Static Backdrop

If you would like to prevent the modal from closing on a click outside of the modal boundries, you can set the data-mdb-backdrop attribute to static.

<!-- Button trigger modal -->
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-mdb-toggle="modal" data-mdb-target="#exampleModal2">
  Launch demo modal
</button>

<!-- Modal -->
<div class="modal top fade" id="exampleModal2" tabindex="-1" aria-labelledby="exampleModal2Label"
  aria-hidden="true" data-mdb-backdrop="static" data-mdb-keyboard="true">
  <div class="modal-dialog  ">
    <div class="modal-content">
      <div class="modal-header">
        <h5 class="modal-title" id="exampleModal2Label">Modal title</h5>
        <button type="button" class="btn-close" data-mdb-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"></button>
      </div>
      <div class="modal-body">...</div>
      <div class="modal-footer">
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-mdb-dismiss="modal">
          Close
        </button>
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

No Backdrop

If you would like to get rid of the backdrop, you can set the data-mdb-backdrop attribute to false.

<!-- Button trigger modal -->
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-mdb-toggle="modal" data-mdb-target="#exampleModal3">
  Launch demo modal
</button>

<!-- Modal -->
<div class="modal top fade" id="exampleModal3" tabindex="-1" aria-labelledby="exampleModal3Label"
  aria-hidden="true" data-mdb-backdrop="false" data-mdb-keyboard="true">
  <div class="modal-dialog  ">
    <div class="modal-content">
      <div class="modal-header">
        <h5 class="modal-title" id="exampleModal3Label">Modal title</h5>
        <button type="button" class="btn-close" data-mdb-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"></button>
      </div>
      <div class="modal-body">...</div>
      <div class="modal-footer">
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-mdb-dismiss="modal">
          Close
        </button>
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button>
      </div>
