React Show Dialog

A headless library to help build application flows involving modal dialogs.

Installation

npm install @s-oram/react-show-dialog --save-exact

Getting Started

Using react-show-dialog is a three step process. See react-show-dialog-examples for a working example.

1. Create a Dialog Component

The dialog component is a typical React component. It must have a onModalResult property that is called to return the result value.

import { type RequiredDialogProps } from '@s-oram/react-show-dialog'

export const ConfirmDialog = ({
  message,
  onModalResult,
}: { message: string } & RequiredDialogProps) => {
  return (
    <div>
      <p>{message}</p>
      <button onClick={() => onModalResult('OK')}>OK</button>
      <button onClick={() => onModalResult('Cancel')}>Cancel</button>
    </div>
  )
}

2. Activate the Dialog With the useShowDialog() Hook

The useShowDialog() hook returns a showDialog() function that can be called to activate your dialog.

import { useShowDialog } from '@s-oram/react-show-dialog'
import { ConfirmDialog } from './ConfirmDialog'
import { deleteProject } from './api'

export const ProjectSettings () => {

  const showDialog = useShowDialog()

  const handleResult = (modalResult: string) => {
    if (modalResult === 'OK') {
        deleteProject()
    }
  }

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Project Settings</h1>
      <button
        onClick={() => {
          showDialog(ConfirmDialog, handleResult)
        }}
      >
        Delete project
      </button>
    </div>
  )
}

3. Add the <ShowDialogProvider> Component to Your Application

Finally we need to add the <ShowDialogProvider/> somewhere in the application component tree.

import { ShowDialogProvider } from '@s-oram/react-show-dialog'
import { ProjectSettings } from './ProjectSettings'

export default function App() {
  return (
    <ShowDialogProvider>
      <ProjectSettings />
    </ShowDialogProvider>
  )
}

Styling

Show Dialog is a headless UI library. It works equally well with any styling solution and all component libraries.
