Close after asynchronous form submission

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

vue
<script setup>
import { DialogContent, DialogOverlay, DialogPortal, DialogRoot, DialogTrigger } from 'radix-vue'

const wait = () => new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 1000))
const open = ref(false)
</script>

<template>
  <DialogRoot v-model:open="open">
    <DialogTrigger>Open</DialogTrigger>
    <DialogPortal>
      <DialogOverlay />
      <DialogContent>
        <form
          @submit.prevent="
            (event) => {
              wait().then(() => (open = false));
            }
          "
        >
          <!-- some inputs -->
          <button type="submit">
            Submit
          </button>
        </form>
      </DialogContent>
    </DialogPortal>
  </DialogRoot>
</template>

Scrollable overlay

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

vue
// index.vue
<script setup>
import { DialogContent, DialogOverlay, DialogPortal, DialogRoot, DialogTrigger } from 'radix-vue'
import './styles.css'
</script>

<template>
  <DialogRoot>
    <DialogTrigger />
    <DialogPortal>
      <DialogOverlay class="DialogOverlay">
        <DialogContent class="DialogContent">
          ...
        </DialogContent>
      </DialogOverlay>
    </DialogPortal>
  </DialogRoot>
</template>
css
/* 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;
}

Custom portal container

Customise the element that your dialog portals into.

vue
<script setup>
import { DialogContent, DialogOverlay, DialogPortal, DialogRoot, DialogTrigger } from 'radix-vue'

const container = ref(null)
</script>

<template>
  <div>
    <DialogRoot>
      <DialogTrigger />
      <DialogPortal to="container">
        <DialogOverlay />
        <DialogContent>...</DialogContent>
      </DialogPortal>
    </DialogRoot>

    <div ref="container" />
  </div>
</template>

Accessibility

Adheres to the Dialog WAI-ARIA design pattern.

Keyboard Interactions

KeyDescription
Space
Opens/closes the dialog
Enter
Opens/closes the dialog
Tab
Moves focus to the next focusable element.
Shift + Tab
Moves focus to the previous focusable element.
Esc
Closes the dialog and moves focus to DialogTrigger.

Custom APIs

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

Abstract the overlay and the close button

This example abstracts the DialogOverlay and DialogClose parts.

Usage

vue
<script setup>
import { Dialog, DialogContent, DialogTrigger } from './your-dialog'
</script>

<template>
  <Dialog>
    <DialogTrigger>Dialog trigger</DialogTrigger>
    <DialogContent>Dialog Content</DialogContent>
  </Dialog>
</template>

Implementation

ts
// your-dialog.ts
export { default as DialogContent } from 'DialogContent.vue'
export { DialogRoot as Dialog, DialogTrigger } from 'radix-vue'
vue
<!-- DialogContent.vue -->
<script setup lang="ts">
import { DialogClose, DialogContent, type DialogContentEmits, type DialogContentProps, DialogOverlay, DialogPortal, useEmitAsProps, } from 'radix-vue'
import { Cross2Icon } from '@radix-icons/vue'

const props = defineProps<DialogContentProps>()
const emits = defineEmits<DialogContentEmits>()

const emitsAsProps = useEmitAsProps(emits)
</script>

<template>
  <DialogPortal>
    <DialogOverlay />
    <DialogContent v-bind="{ ...props, ...emitsAsProps }">
      <slot />

      <DialogClose>
        <Cross2Icon />
        <span class="sr-only">Close</span>
      </DialogClose>
    </DialogContent>
  </DialogPortal>
</template>
