The Modal Layout app provides blocks to help you create modals in your store.

Configuration

  1. Add the Modal Layout app to your theme dependencies in the manifest.json:

_10
"dependencies": {
_10
+ "vtex.modal-layout": "0.x"
_10
}

Now, you can use all blocks exported by the modal-layout app. See the full list below:

Block nameDescription

Defines how the modal content will be triggered through its children blocks.

Defines how the modal content will be rendered through its children blocks. You can declare the modal-header and modal-content blocks, described below, as children to create a modal with a header and footer.
modal-headerRenders a close button and the blocks listed as its children, building a modal header. Note that it does not automatically render a header for your modal. Instead, you should create the modal header as you desire using the children list of this block.
modal-contentDefines how the modal content will be rendered through its children blocks. Preferably, this block should be used along with the modal-header block in order to create a modal with a header and a footer.
modal-actionsLogical block that only renders its child blocks that, in turn, render call-to-action buttons inside the modal, such as a confirmation button.
modal-actions.closeButton that closes the modal when clicked. It is extremely useful when your modal only has a form or a disclaimer box providing information to the users.
  1. Add the modal-trigger block in any store template you choose. In the example below, it will be added to the homepage:

_10
{
_10
"store.home": {
_10
"children": [
_10
"modal-trigger#example"
_10
]
_10
},

  1. Declare the modal-trigger block using its prop and configure the children blocks. The first child block of modal-trigger must be a block you choose to trigger the modal content. Then, a sibling block called modal-layout will be needed to effectively define the modal content through its child block list. For example:

_21
{
_21
"store.home": {
_21
"children": ["modal-trigger#example"]
_21
},
_21
"modal-trigger#example": {
_21
"children": ["rich-text#example", "modal-layout#example"]
_21
},
_21
"rich-text#example": {
_21
"props": {
_21
"text": "Click me"
_21
}
_21
},
_21
"modal-layout#example": {
_21
"children": ["rich-text#modal-content"]
_21
},
_21
"rich-text#modal-content": {
_21
"props": {
_21
"text": "Hello"
_21
}
_21
}
_21
}

In the example above, the Rich Text block renders the Click me text that will trigger the modal content when clicked. The modal content, in turn, is defined by the modal-layout block. Based on the example above, the modal content triggered by the Click me Rich Text would be a Hello text.

Prop nameTypeDescriptionDefault value

customPixelEventIdstringStore event ID that triggers the modal-trigger block (hence triggering the opening of modal-layout blocks on the interface as well).undefined
