Bootstrap modal in React.js

Question

I need to open a Bootstrap Modal from clicking on a button in a Bootstrap navbar and other places (to show data for a component instance, ie. providing \"editing\" f

Answer 1

I've only used bootstrap cdn (css + js) to achieve "reactstrap" like solution. I've used props.children to pass dynamic data from parent to child components. You can find more about this here. In this way you have three separate components modal header, modal body and modal footer and they are totally independent from each other.

//Modal component
import React, { Component } from 'react';

export const ModalHeader = props => {
  return <div className="modal-header">{props.children}</div>;
};

export const ModalBody = props => {
  return <div className="modal-body">{props.children}</div>;
};

export const ModalFooter = props => {
  return <div className="modal-footer">{props.children}</div>;
};

class Modal extends Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
      modalShow: '',
      display: 'none'
    };
    this.openModal = this.openModal.bind(this);
    this.closeModal = this.closeModal.bind(this);
  }

  openModal() {
    this.setState({
      modalShow: 'show',
      display: 'block'
    });
  }

  closeModal() {
    this.setState({
      modalShow: '',
      display: 'none'
    });
  }

  componentDidMount() {
    this.props.isOpen ? this.openModal() : this.closeModal();
  }

  componentDidUpdate(prevProps) {
    if (prevProps.isOpen !== this.props.isOpen) {
      this.props.isOpen ? this.openModal() : this.closeModal();
    }
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <div
        className={'modal fade ' + this.state.modalShow}
        tabIndex="-1"
        role="dialog"
        aria-hidden="true"
        style={{ display: this.state.display }}
      >
        <div className="modal-dialog" role="document">
          <div className="modal-content">{this.props.children}</div>
        </div>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

export default Modal;

//App component
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import Modal, { ModalHeader, ModalBody, ModalFooter } from './components/Modal';

import './App.css';

class App extends Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
      modal: false
    };
    this.toggle = this.toggle.bind(this);
  }

  toggle() {
    this.setState({ modal: !this.state.modal });
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <div className="App">
        <h1>Bootstrap Components</h1>

        <button
          type="button"
          className="btn btn-secondary"
          onClick={this.toggle}
        >
          Modal
        </button>

        <Modal isOpen={this.state.modal}>
          <ModalHeader>
            <h3>This is modal header</h3>
            <button
              type="button"
              className="close"
              aria-label="Close"
              onClick={this.toggle}
            >
              <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>
            </button>
          </ModalHeader>
          <ModalBody>
            <p>This is modal body</p>
          </ModalBody>
          <ModalFooter>
            <button
              type="button"
              className="btn btn-secondary"
              onClick={this.toggle}
            >
              Close
            </button>
            <button
              type="button"
              className="btn btn-primary"
              onClick={this.toggle}
            >
              Save changes
            </button>
          </ModalFooter>
        </Modal>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

export default App;

Answer 2

getDOMNode() is deprecated. Instead use ref to access DOM element. Here is working Modal component (Bootstrap 4). Decide whether to show or not to show Modal component in parent component.

Example: https://jsfiddle.net/sqfhkdcy/

class Modal extends Component {
    constructor(props) {
        super(props);
    }
    componentDidMount() {
        $(this.modal).modal('show');
        $(this.modal).on('hidden.bs.modal', handleModalCloseClick);
    }
    render() {
        return (
            <div>
                <div className="modal fade" ref={modal=> this.modal = modal} id="exampleModal" tabIndex="-1" role="dialog" aria- labelledby="exampleModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
                    <div className="modal-dialog" role="document">
                        <div className="modal-content">
                            <div className="modal-header">
                                <h5 className="modal-title" id="exampleModalLabel">Modal title
                                </h5>
                                <button type="button" className="close" data- dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close">
                                    <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>
                                </button>
                            </div>
                            <div className="modal-body">
                                ...
                            </div>
                            <div className="modal-footer">
                                <button type="button" className="btn btn-secondary" data- dismiss="modal">Close</button>
                                <button type="button" className="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button>
                            </div>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
        );
    }
}

Edit:

Here are the necessary imports to make it work:

import $ from 'jquery';
window.jQuery = $;
window.$ = $;
global.jQuery = $;

Answer 3

I Created this function:

onAddListItem: function () {
    var Modal = ReactBootstrap.Modal;
    React.render((
        <Modal title='Modal title' onRequestHide={this.hideListItem}>
            <ul class="list-group">
                <li class="list-group-item">Cras justo odio</li>
                <li class="list-group-item">Dapibus ac facilisis in</li>
                <li class="list-group-item">Morbi leo risus</li>
                <li class="list-group-item">Porta ac consectetur ac</li>
                <li class="list-group-item">Vestibulum at eros</li>
            </ul>
        </Modal>
    ), document.querySelector('#modal-wrapper'));
}

And then used it on my Button trigger.

To 'hide' the Modal:

hideListItem: function () {
    React.unmountComponentAtNode(document.querySelector('#modal-wrapper'));
},

Answer 4

Solution using React functional components.

import React, { useState, useRef, useEffect } from 'react'

const Modal = ({ title, show, onButtonClick }) => {

    const dialog = useRef({})

    useEffect(() => { $(dialog.current).modal(show ? 'show' : 'hide') }, [show])
    useEffect(() => { $(dialog.current).on('hide.bs.modal', () =>
        onButtonClick('close')) }, [])

    return (
        <div className="modal fade" ref={dialog}
            id="modalDialog" tabIndex="-1" role="dialog"
            aria-labelledby="modalDialogLabel" aria-hidden="true"
        >
            <div className="modal-dialog" role="document">
                <div className="modal-content">
                    <div className="modal-header">
                        <h5 className="modal-title" id="modalDialogLabel">{title}</h5>
                        <button type="button" className="close" aria-label="Close"
                            onClick={() => onButtonClick('close')}
                        >
                            <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>
                        </button>
                    </div>
                    <div className="modal-body">
                        ...
                    </div>
                    <div className="modal-footer">
                        <button type="button" className="btn btn-secondary"
                            onClick={() => onButtonClick('close')}>Close</button>
                        <button type="button" className="btn btn-primary"
                            onClick={() => onButtonClick('save')}>Save</button>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    )
}

const App = () => {

    const [ showDialog, setShowDialog ] = useState(false)

    return (
        <div className="container">
            <Modal
                title="Modal Title"
                show={showDialog}
                onButtonClick={button => {
                    if(button == 'close') setShowDialog(false)
                    if(button == 'save') console.log('save button clicked')
                }}
            />
            <button className="btn btn-primary" onClick={() => {
                setShowDialog(true)
            }}>Show Dialog</button>
        </div>
    )
}

Answer 5

Just add href='#scheduleentry-modal' to the element you want to open the modal with

Or using jQuery: $('#scheduleentry-modal').modal('show');

Answer 6

The quickest fix would be to explicitly use the jQuery $ from the global context (which has been extended with your $.modal() because you referenced that in your script tag when you did ):

  window.$('#scheduleentry-modal').modal('show') // to show 
  window.$('#scheduleentry-modal').modal('hide') // to hide

so this is how you can about it on react

import React, { Component } from 'react';

export default Modal extends Component {
    componentDidMount() {
        window.$('#Modal').modal('show');
    }

    handleClose() {
        window.$('#Modal').modal('hide');
    }

    render() {
        <
        div className = 'modal fade'
        id = 'ModalCenter'
        tabIndex = '-1'
        role = 'dialog'
        aria - labelledby = 'ModalCenterTitle'
        data - backdrop = 'static'
        aria - hidden = 'true' >
            <
            div className = 'modal-dialog modal-dialog-centered'
        role = 'document' >
            <
            div className = 'modal-content' >
            // ...your modal body
            <
            button
        type = 'button'
        className = 'btn btn-secondary'
        onClick = {
                this.handleClose
            } >
            Close <
            /button> < /
        div > <
            /div> < /
        div >
    }
}
