There are 3 ways to use a modal:
- Using
<dialog>element: It needs JS to open but it has better accessibility and we can close it using Esc key - Using a hidden
<input type="checkbox">and<label>to check/uncheck the checkbox and open/close the modal - Using
<a>anchor links: A link adds a parameter to the URL and you only see the modal when the URL has that parameter
Make sure you're using unique IDs for each modal
Method 1: using dialog element recommended
# Dialog modal, closes when clicked outside
there is a second form with 'modal-backdrop' class and it covers the screen so we can close the modal when clicked outside
# Dialog modal with a close button at corner
# Dialog modal with custom width
You can use any w-* and max-w-* utility class to customize the width
Method 2: using a hidden checkbox legacy
# Modal that closes when clicked outside
Modal works with a hidden checkbox and labels can toggle the checkbox so we can use another label tag with 'modal-backdrop' class that covers the screen so we can close the modal when clicked outside
Method 3: using anchor links legacy
# Modal using anchor link
Anchor links might not work well on some SPA frameworks so if there are problems, use the first example
