#142 Modals with HTML dialog element, Tailwind and Stimulus
HTML dialog
is the new standard for creating modals
with less JS and CSS.
Is now supported by all browsers! 🌍
Dialog has some behaviours out of the box:
✅ centered on page by default
✅ disables background clicks when open
✅ can be closed with native HTML (without extra JS)
✅ includes CSS to blur/dim background by default
✅ can be closed with Escape key
We will explore how to open the dialog
modal with JS (Stimulus) and add additional styles and behaviours:
👉 Tailwind modal styling
👉 Background color and opacity
👉 Scroll modal
👉 Disable background scrolling
👉 Click outside to close
