Dialog

A window overlaid on either the primary window or another dialog window, rendering the content underneath inert.

import React from 'react';
import * as Dialog from '@radix-ui/react-dialog';
import { Cross2Icon } from '@radix-ui/react-icons';
import './styles.css';
const DialogDemo = () => (
<Dialog.Root>
<Dialog.Trigger asChild>
<button className="Button violet">Edit profile</button>
</Dialog.Trigger>
<Dialog.Portal>
<Dialog.Overlay className="DialogOverlay" />
<Dialog.Content className="DialogContent">
<Dialog.Title className="DialogTitle">Edit profile</Dialog.Title>
<Dialog.Description className="DialogDescription">
Make changes to your profile here. Click save when you're done.
</Dialog.Description>
<fieldset className="Fieldset">
<label className="Label" htmlFor="name">
Name
</label>
<input className="Input" id="name" defaultValue="Pedro Duarte" />
</fieldset>
<fieldset className="Fieldset">
<label className="Label" htmlFor="username">
Username
</label>
<input className="Input" id="username" defaultValue="@peduarte" />
</fieldset>
<div style={{ display: 'flex', marginTop: 25, justifyContent: 'flex-end' }}>
<Dialog.Close asChild>
<button className="Button green">Save changes</button>
</Dialog.Close>
</div>
<Dialog.Close asChild>
<button className="IconButton" aria-label="Close">
<Cross2Icon />
</button>
</Dialog.Close>
</Dialog.Content>
</Dialog.Portal>
</Dialog.Root>
);
export default DialogDemo;

Features

  • Supports modal and non-modal modes.
  • Focus is automatically trapped when modal.
  • Can be controlled or uncontrolled.
  • Manages screen reader announcements with Title and Description components.
  • Esc closes the component automatically.

Install the component from your command line.

npm install @radix-ui/react-dialog

Import all parts and piece them together.

<Dialog.Title />
<Dialog.Description />

An accessible title to be announced when the dialog is opened.

If you want to hide the title, wrap it inside our Visually Hidden utility like this <VisuallyHidden asChild>.

PropTypeDefault
asChildbooleanfalse

An optional accessible description to be announced when the dialog is opened.

If you want to hide the description, wrap it inside our Visually Hidden utility like this <VisuallyHidden asChild>. If you want to remove the description entirely, remove this part and pass aria-describedby={undefined} to Dialog.Content.

PropTypeDefault
asChildbooleanfalse

Use the controlled props to programmatically close the Dialog after an async operation has completed.

import React from 'react';
import * as Dialog from '@radix-ui/react-dialog';
const wait = () => new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 1000));
export default () => {
const [open, setOpen] = React.useState(false);
return (
<Dialog.Root open={open} onOpenChange={setOpen}>
<Dialog.Trigger>Open</Dialog.Trigger>
<Dialog.Portal>
<Dialog.Overlay />
<Dialog.Content>
<form onSubmit={(event) => { wait().then(() => setOpen(false)); event.preventDefault(); }} >
{/** some inputs */}
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
</Dialog.Content>
</Dialog.Portal>
</Dialog.Root>
);
};

Move the content inside the overlay to render a dialog with overflow.

// index.jsx
import * as Dialog from '@radix-ui/react-dialog';
import './styles.css';
export default () => {
return (
<Dialog.Root>
<Dialog.Trigger />
<Dialog.Portal>
<Dialog.Overlay className="DialogOverlay">
<Dialog.Content className="DialogContent">...</Dialog.Content>
</Dialog.Overlay>
</Dialog.Portal>
</Dialog.Root>
);
};
/* styles.css */
.DialogOverlay {
background: rgba(0 0 0 / 0.5);
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
display: grid;
place-items: center;
overflow-y: auto;
}
.DialogContent {
min-width: 300px;
background: white;
padding: 30px;
border-radius: 4px;
}

Customise the element that your dialog portals into.

import React from 'react';
import * as Dialog from '@radix-ui/react-dialog';
export default () => {
const [container, setContainer] = React.useState(null);
return (
<div>
<Dialog.Root>
<Dialog.Trigger />
<Dialog.Portal container={container}>
<Dialog.Overlay />
<Dialog.Content>...</Dialog.Content>
</Dialog.Portal>
</Dialog.Root>
<div ref={setContainer} />
</div>
);
};

Adheres to the Dialog WAI-ARIA design pattern.

KeyDescription
SpaceOpens/closes the dialog.
EnterOpens/closes the dialog.
TabMoves focus to the next focusable element.
Shift + TabMoves focus to the previous focusable element.
EscCloses the dialog and moves focus to Dialog.Trigger.

Create your own API by abstracting the primitive parts into your own component.

This example abstracts the Dialog.Overlay and Dialog.Close parts.

Usage

import { Dialog, DialogTrigger, DialogContent } from './your-dialog';
export default () => (
<Dialog>
<DialogTrigger>Dialog trigger</DialogTrigger>
<DialogContent>Dialog Content</DialogContent>
</Dialog>
);

Implementation

// your-dialog.jsx
import React from 'react';
import * as DialogPrimitive from '@radix-ui/react-dialog';
import { Cross1Icon } from '@radix-ui/react-icons';
export const DialogContent = React.forwardRef(
({ children, ...props }, forwardedRef) => (
<DialogPrimitive.Portal>
<DialogPrimitive.Overlay />
<DialogPrimitive.Content {...props} ref={forwardedRef}>
{children}
<DialogPrimitive.Close aria-label="Close">
<Cross1Icon />
</DialogPrimitive.Close>
</DialogPrimitive.Content>
</DialogPrimitive.Portal>
)
);
export const Dialog = DialogPrimitive.Root;
export const DialogTrigger = DialogPrimitive.Trigger;
