JavaScript Dialog - An Easily Customizable Modal Dialog Control

Overview

The JavaScript Modal Dialog is a useful user interface (UI) control for informing users about critical information, errors, warnings, and questions, as well as confirming decisions and collecting input from users. The control has a rich set of built-in features such as action buttons, positioning, animations, dragging, resizing, templating, and more with mobile dialog support. The dialog provides two different types: modal dialogs and non-modal dialogs (modeless) based on interactions.

Modal dialogs (modal window)

The JavaScript dialog control comes with two different types of dialogs, modal and non-modal (modeless):

• Modal dialogs force users to interact with them before continuing. So, it is used to show important interaction information and non-continuous process information (for example, a sign-up or login form).
• Non-modal dialogs allow users to interact outside the dialog box even if it is in an active state, which is suitable for frequent and nonblocking dialogs (for example, find-and-replace dialogs).

Animation

A variety of smooth, built-in animations are available to configure for the opening and closing of modal dialogs. They perform based on CSS3 animation from the Animation library.

Resizable

The modal dialog can resize from any of the edges or borders of the dialog within the target container by using its handle (grip) or hovering on it.

JavaScript Dialog Code Example

Easily get started with the JavaScript Dialog using a few simple lines of HTML and TS code example as demonstrated below. Also explore our JavaScript Dialog Example that shows you how to render and configure a Dialog in JavaScript.

<div>
    <!--element which is going to render the Dialog -->
    <button class="e-control e-btn" id="targetButton" role="button" e-ripple="true">Open Dialog</button>
    <div id="dialog"></div>
</div>

import { Dialog } from '@syncfusion/ej2-popups';

// Initialization of Dialog component
let dialog: Dialog = new Dialog({
    // Dialog content
    content: 'This is a Dialog with content',
    // The Dialog shows within the target element
    target: document.getElementById("container"),
    // Dialog width
    width: '250px'
});

// Render initialized Dialog
dialog.appendTo('#dialog');
