Angular Modal with Bootstrap - free examples & tutorial

Angular Bootstrap 5 Modal component

Use MDB modal plugin to add dialogs to your site for lightboxes, user notifications, or completely custom content.

Note: Read the API tab to find all available options and advanced customization


Basic example

Click the button to launch the modal.

You can create modals dynamically from any component using a built-in service. To achieve this, follow these steps:

1. Create a new component with Angular CLI and add some HTML code to the template.

ng generate component modal

2. Inject MdbModalService to the component from which you want to open the modal and use the open method.


Inject and receive data

You can inject data to the modal by passing it to the data parameter in the modal options.

Here is an example showing how to use injected data in the modal component:

Receive data from the modal

You can receive data from the modal to use it in other components:

How it works

Before getting started with MDB modal component, be sure to read the following as our menu options have recently changed.

  • Modals are built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. They’re positioned over everything else in the document and remove scroll from the <body> so that modal content scrolls instead.
  • Clicking on the modal “backdrop” will automatically close the modal.
  • Bootstrap only supports one modal window at a time. Nested modals aren’t supported as we believe them to be poor user experiences.

Position

To change the position of the modal add one of the following classes to the modalClass option.

Top right: .modal-side + .modal-top-right

Top left: .modal-side + .modal-top-left

Bottom right: .modal-side + .modal-bottom-right

Bottom left: .modal-side + .modal-bottom-right

Note: If you want to change the direction of modal animation, add the class .top, .right, bottom or .left to the containerClass option.


Frame

To make the modal "frame-like" add .frame class and .top or .bottom class to containerClass option. Add .modal-frame class and .modal-top or .modal-bottom class to modalClass option.


Scrolling long content

When modals become too long for the user’s viewport or device, they scroll independent of the page itself. Try the demo below to see what we mean.

You can also create a scrollable modal that allows scroll the modal body by adding .modal-dialog-scrollable to modalClass option.


Vertically centered

Add .modal-dialog-centered to modalClass option to vertically center the modal.


Tooltips and popovers

Tooltips and popovers can be placed within modals as needed. When modals are closed, any tooltips and popovers within are also automatically dismissed.


Using the grid

Utilize the Bootstrap grid system within a modal by nesting .container-fluid within the .modal-body. Then, use the normal grid system classes as you would anywhere else.


Change animation

The $modal-fade-transform variable determines the transform state of .modal-dialog before the modal fade-in animation, the $modal-show-transform variable determines the transform of .modal-dialog at the end of the modal fade-in animation.

If you want for example a zoom-in animation, you can set $modal-fade-transform: scale(.8).


Remove animation

For modals that simply appear rather than fade into view, set the animation option to false.


Optional sizes

Modals have three optional sizes, available via modifier classes that needs to be added to modalClass option. These sizes kick in at certain breakpoints to avoid horizontal scrollbars on narrower viewports.

Size Class Modal max-width
Small .modal-sm 300px
Default None 500px
Large .modal-lg 800px
Extra large .modal-xl 1140px

Fullscreen Modal

Another override is the option to pop up a modal that covers the user viewport, available via modifier classes that are passed to the modalClass option.

Class Availability
.modal-fullscreen Always
.modal-fullscreen-sm-down Below 576px
.modal-fullscreen-md-down Below 768px
.modal-fullscreen-lg-down Below 992px
.modal-fullscreen-xl-down Below 1200px
.modal-fullscreen-xxl-down Below 1400px

Non-invasive Modal

This type of modal does not block any interaction on the page. Simply add nonInvasive option.
