Modals

Dojo modals should be used to accomplish tasks that must be completed before a user can continue. Taken almost verbatim from Bootstrap modals.

Usage

The modal plugin toggles your hidden content on demand, via data attributes or JavaScript. It also adds .modal-open to the <body> to override default scrolling behavior and generates a .modal-backdrop to provide a click area for dismissing shown modals when clicking outside the modal.

Via data attributes

Activate a modal without writing JavaScript. Set data-toggle="modal" on a controller element, like a button, along with a data-target="#foo" or href="#foo" to target a specific modal to toggle.

<button type="button" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">Launch modal</button>

Via JavaScript

Call a modal with id myModal with a single line of JavaScript:

$('#myModal').modal(options)

Options

Options can be passed via data attributes or JavaScript. For data attributes, append the option name to data-, as in data-backdrop="".

Name	type	default	description
backdrop	boolean or the string `'static'`	true	Includes a modal-backdrop element. Alternatively, specify `static` for a backdrop which doesn't close the modal on click.
keyboard	boolean	true	Closes the modal when escape key is pressed
show	boolean	true	Shows the modal when initialized.

Methods

.modal(options)

Activates your content as a modal. Accepts an optional options object.

$('#myModal').modal({
  keyboard: false
})

.modal(‘toggle’)

Manually toggles a modal. Returns to the caller before the modal has actually been shown or hidden (i.e. before the shown.bs.modal or hidden.bs.modal event occurs).

$('#myModal').modal('toggle')

.modal(‘show’)

Manually opens a modal. Returns to the caller before the modal has actually been shown (i.e. before the shown.bs.modal event occurs).

$('#myModal').modal('show')

.modal(‘hide’)

Manually hides a modal. Returns to the caller before the modal has actually been hidden (i.e. before the hidden.bs.modal event occurs).

$('#myModal').modal('hide')

.modal(‘handleUpdate’)

Readjusts the modal’s positioning to counter a scrollbar in case one should appear, which would make the modal jump to the left.

Only needed when the height of the modal changes while it is open.

$('#myModal').modal('handleUpdate')

Events

Bootstrap’s modal class exposes a few events for hooking into modal functionality.

All modal events are fired at the modal itself (i.e. at the <div class="modal">).

Event Type	Description
show.bs.modal	This event fires immediately when the `show` instance method is called. If caused by a click, the clicked element is available as the `relatedTarget` property of the event.
shown.bs.modal	This event is fired when the modal has been made visible to the user (will wait for CSS transitions to complete). If caused by a click, the clicked element is available as the `relatedTarget` property of the event.
hide.bs.modal	This event is fired immediately when the hide instance method has been called.
hidden.bs.modal	This event is fired when the modal has finished being hidden from the user (will wait for CSS transitions to complete).
loaded.bs.modal	This event is fired when the modal has loaded content using the remote option.

Example

$('#myModal').on('hidden.bs.modal', function (e) {
  // do something...
})
