Styled React Modal

For support for react <16.9, please use styled-react-modal@1.2.4.

For support for create-react-app <5.0.0, please import from styled-react-modal/build/umd.

Styled React Modal is built with styled-components. It uses the latest React 17.x features and exposes a familiar, easy to use API. It supports beforeOpen(), afterOpen(), and other lifecycle hooks so that animations can be handled easily. Unlike several other modal implementations in React, it does not pollute the DOM with excessive nodes.

Demo on CodeSandbox

Install

npm i -s styled-react-modal  # or use yarn

Usage

  return (
    <ThemeProvider theme={theme}>
      <ModalProvider>
        <FancyModalButton />
      </ModalProvider>
    </ThemeProvider>
