React dialog

Overview

The React Dialog is a UI component designed to present important messages, such as alerts, errors, warnings, or prompts for user input and confirmation. It offers a comprehensive set of built-in features including action buttons, customizable positioning, animations, drag-and-resize capabilities, templating options, and mobile-friendly dialog support. The component supports both modal and modeless (non-modal) dialogs, adapting to various interaction needs.

React Dialog code example

Get started with the React Dialog using a few simple lines of code, as demonstrated below. Also, explore our React Dialog example, which shows you how to render and configure the Dialog component in React.

import { Dialog } from '@syncfusion/react-popups';
import { Button, Variant } from '@syncfusion/react-buttons';
import { useState } from 'react';

export default function App() {
    const [visible, setVisible] = useState(false);

    return (
        <div className="component-section">
            <Button onClick={() => setVisible(true)}>Open Dialog</Button>
            <Dialog
                header="Cookie Policy"
                open={visible}
                onClose={() => setVisible(false)}
                style=
                footer={<Button onClick={() => setVisible(false)} variant={Variant.Standard}>OK</Button>}
            >
                <div>

                </div>
            </Dialog>
        </div>
    );
}

React modal dialog

The React Dialog component supports two distinct types, modal and non-modal, to suit different user interaction needs:

Modal dialogs require users to interact with the dialog before continuing with other tasks. They are ideal for presenting critical information or guiding users through focused processes, such as sign-up forms, login prompts, or confirmation messages.
Non-modal dialogs allow users to continue interacting with the rest of the application even when the dialog is active. These are best suited for non-blocking interactions like find-and-replace tools, tooltips, or quick-settings panels.

Modal dialog example

Built-in UI elements

The React Dialog component provides header (title), body (content), and footer action buttons for better customization. Users can pass custom HTML elements as children to the dialog’s header, content, and footer sections.

React Dialog action buttons

Action buttons

The React Dialog component provides built-in support to include custom action buttons in the footer area to perform necessary actions.

Action buttons example

Flexible positioning

The flexible positioning options allow users to place dialogs anywhere on the page to suit their layout and design needs. A dialog’s position can be easily configured using built-in presets or custom axis values.

Built-in positions: Quickly align dialogs to common screen locations such as top-left, top-right, bottom-left, or bottom-right.

Custom coordinates: Define exact placement using custom x-axis and y-axis values (e.g., 100 75) for precise control over dialog layout.

Positioning example

Draggable dialog

The draggable functionality allows users to reposition the dialog anywhere on the page by simply dragging its header. This feature is powered by the draggable library, making it easy to implement and customize.

Draggable example

Full-screen dialog

Dialogs can be expanded to occupy the entire viewport, creating a distraction-free and immersive experience. This is especially useful for tasks that require all of the user’s attention, such as form submissions, media previews, or detailed workflows.

Full-screen example

Multiple dialogs

The React Dialog component supports launching multiple dialogs simultaneously, including stacked or nested dialogs, by managing their z-index (z-depth). This allows developers to display dialogs one above the other, enabling complex workflows such as multistep forms, confirmation prompts over modals, or layered interactions.

Multiple dialogs example

Smooth animation

The React Dialog component supports a variety of smooth, built-in animations for both opening and closing transitions. These animations are powered by CSS3 and integrated through the Animation library, allowing developers to deliver polished, responsive, and visually engaging modal dialogs.

Dialog animation example

Resizable dialog

The resizable functionality allows users to adjust dialog dimensions by dragging from any edge or corner. This is enabled through interactive resize handles, which can be configured to control the resize direction as horizontal, vertical, or both.

Resizable dialog example

Close options

The modal Dialog component offers the following ways for users to close a dialog, enhancing usability and accessibility:

Close icon: A clickable icon typically placed in the header.
Overlay click: Clicking outside the dialog (on the overlay).
Esc key: Pressing the Escape key on a keyboard.

Close Dialog example

React confirmation dialog

Alert and confirmation dialogs

The React Dialog component makes it easy to create alert and confirmation dialogs using built-in functions. These dialogs are ideal for delivering quick feedback, prompting user decisions, or confirming actions such as deletions, submissions, or exits.

Alert dialogs: Display important messages that require acknowledgment.
Confirmation dialogs: Ask users to confirm or cancel an action.

Alerts and confirmations documentation

Right-to-left (RTL)

The React Dialog component supports right-to-left (RTL) rendering. Users can change the text direction and layout of the Dialog component to RTL. This improves the user experience and accessibility for those who use RTL languages.
