Modal

Use Bootstrap’s JavaScript modal plugin to add dialogs to your site for lightboxes, user notifications, or completely custom content.

How it works

Before getting started with Bootstrap’s 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.
  • Modals use position: fixed, which can sometimes be a bit particular about its rendering. Whenever possible, place your modal HTML in a top-level position to avoid potential interference from other elements. You’ll likely run into issues when nesting a .modal within another fixed element.
  • Once again, due to position: fixed, there are some caveats with using modals on mobile devices. See our browser support docs for details.
  • Due to how HTML5 defines its semantics, the autofocus HTML attribute has no effect in Bootstrap modals. To achieve the same effect, use some custom JavaScript:
  1. const myModal = document.getElementById('myModal')
  2. const myInput = document.getElementById('myInput')
  4. myModal.addEventListener('shown.bs.modal', () => {
  5.   myInput.focus()
  6. })

The animation effect of this component is dependent on the prefers-reduced-motion media query. See the reduced motion section of our accessibility documentation.

Examples

Modal components

Below is a static modal example (meaning its position and display have been overridden). Included are the modal header, modal body (required for padding), and modal footer (optional). We ask that you include modal headers with dismiss actions whenever possible, or provide another explicit dismiss action.

Modal - 图1

  1. <div class="modal" tabindex="-1">
  2.   <div class="modal-dialog">
  3.     <div class="modal-content">
  4.       <div class="modal-header">
  5.         <h5 class="modal-title">Modal title</h5>
  6.         <button type="button" class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"></button>
  7.       </div>
  8.       <div class="modal-body">
  9.         <p>Modal body text goes here.</p>
  10.       </div>
  11.       <div class="modal-footer">
  12.         <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-bs-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
  13.         <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button>
  14.       </div>
  15.     </div>
  16.   </div>
  17. </div>

In the above static example, we use <h5>, to avoid issues with the heading hierarchy in the documentation page. Structurally, however, a modal dialog represents its own separate document/context, so the .modal-title should ideally be an <h1>. If necessary, you can use the font size utilities to control the heading’s appearance. All the following live examples use this approach.

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.

Modal title

This is some placeholder content to show the scrolling behavior for modals. Instead of repeating the text in the modal, we use an inline style to set a minimum height, thereby extending the length of the overall modal and demonstrating the overflow scrolling. When content becomes longer than the height of the viewport, scrolling will move the modal as needed.

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

Modal title

This is some placeholder content to show the scrolling behavior for modals. We use repeated line breaks to demonstrate how content can exceed minimum inner height, thereby showing inner scrolling. When content becomes longer than the predefined max-height of modal, content will be cropped and scrollable within the modal.

This content should appear at the bottom after you scroll.

Modal title

This is some placeholder content to show a vertically centered modal. We’ve added some extra copy here to show how vertically centering the modal works when combined with scrollable modals. We also use some repeated line breaks to quickly extend the height of the content, thereby triggering the scrolling. When content becomes longer than the predefined max-height of modal, content will be cropped and scrollable within the modal.

Just like that.

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.

Varying modal content

Have a bunch of buttons that all trigger the same modal with slightly different contents? Use event.relatedTarget and HTML data-bs-* attributes to vary the contents of the modal depending on which button was clicked.

Below is a live demo followed by example HTML and JavaScript. For more information, read the modal events docs for details on relatedTarget.

Toggle between modals

Toggle between multiple modals with some clever placement of the data-bs-target and data-bs-toggle attributes. For example, you could toggle a password reset modal from within an already open sign in modal. Please note multiple modals cannot be open at the same time—this method simply toggles between two separate modals.

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 in to view, remove the .fade class from your modal markup.

  1. <div class="modal" tabindex="-1" aria-labelledby="..." aria-hidden="true">
  2.   ...
  3. </div>

Dynamic heights

If the height of a modal changes while it is open, you should call myModal.handleUpdate() to readjust the modal’s position in case a scrollbar appears.

Accessibility

Be sure to add aria-labelledby="...", referencing the modal title, to .modal. Additionally, you may give a description of your modal dialog with aria-describedby on .modal. Note that you don’t need to add role="dialog" since we already add it via JavaScript.

Embedding YouTube videos

Embedding YouTube videos in modals requires additional JavaScript not in Bootstrap to automatically stop playback and more. See this helpful Stack Overflow post for more information.

Optional sizes

Modals have three optional sizes, available via modifier classes to be placed on a .modal-dialog. These sizes kick in at certain breakpoints to avoid horizontal scrollbars on narrower viewports.

SizeClassModal max-width
Small.modal-sm300px
DefaultNone500px
Large.modal-lg800px
Extra large.modal-xl1140px

Our default modal without modifier class constitutes the “medium” size modal.

Variables

Added in v5.2.0

As part of Bootstrap’s evolving CSS variables approach, modals now use local CSS variables on .modal and .modal-backdrop for enhanced real-time customization. Values for the CSS variables are set via Sass, so Sass customization is still supported, too.

scss/_modal.scss

Sass loops

Responsive fullscreen modals are generated via the $breakpoints map and a loop in scss/_modal.scss.

scss/_modal.scss

  1. @each $breakpoint in map-keys($grid-breakpoints) {
  2.   $infix: breakpoint-infix($breakpoint, $grid-breakpoints);
  3.   $postfix: if($infix != "", $infix + "-down", "");
  5.   @include media-breakpoint-down($breakpoint) {
  6.     .modal-fullscreen#{$postfix} {
  7.       width: 100vw;
  8.       max-width: none;
  9.       height: 100%;
  10.       margin: 0;
  12.       .modal-content {
  13.         height: 100%;
  14.         border: 0;
  15.         @include border-radius(0);
  16.       }
  18.       .modal-header,
  19.       .modal-footer {
  20.         @include border-radius(0);
  21.       }
  23.       .modal-body {
  24.         overflow-y: auto;
  25.       }
  26.     }
  27.   }
  28. }

Usage

The modal plugin toggles your hidden content on demand, via data attributes or JavaScript. It also overrides default scrolling behavior and generates a .modal-backdrop to provide a click area for dismissing shown modals when clicking outside the modal.

Via data attributes

Toggle

Activate a modal without writing JavaScript. Set data-bs-toggle="modal" on a controller element, like a button, along with a data-bs-target="#foo" or href="#foo" to target a specific modal to toggle.

  1. <button type="button" data-bs-toggle="modal" data-bs-target="#myModal">Launch modal</button>

Dismiss

Dismissal can be achieved with the data-bs-dismiss attribute on a button within the modal as demonstrated below:

  1. <button type="button" class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"></button>

or on a button outside the modal using the additional data-bs-target as demonstrated below:

  1. <button type="button" class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="modal" data-bs-target="#my-modal" aria-label="Close"></button>

While both ways to dismiss a modal are supported, keep in mind that dismissing from outside a modal does not match the ARIA Authoring Practices Guide dialog (modal) pattern. Do this at your own risk.

Via JavaScript

Create a modal with a single line of JavaScript:

  1. const myModal = new bootstrap.Modal(document.getElementById('myModal'), options)
  2. // or
  3. const myModalAlternative = new bootstrap.Modal('#myModal', options)

Options

As options can be passed via data attributes or JavaScript, you can append an option name to data-bs-, as in data-bs-animation="{value}". Make sure to change the case type of the option name from “camelCase” to “kebab-case” when passing the options via data attributes. For example, use data-bs-custom-class="beautifier" instead of data-bs-customClass="beautifier".

As of Bootstrap 5.2.0, all components support an experimental reserved data attribute data-bs-config that can house simple component configuration as a JSON string. When an element has data-bs-config='{"delay":0, "title":123}' and data-bs-title="456" attributes, the final title value will be 456 and the separate data attributes will override values given on data-bs-config. In addition, existing data attributes are able to house JSON values like data-bs-delay='{"show":0,"hide":150}'.

The final configuration object is the merged result of data-bs-config, data-bs-, and js object where the latest given key-value overrides the others.

NameTypeDefaultDescription
backdropboolean, ‘static’trueIncludes a modal-backdrop element. Alternatively, specify static for a backdrop which doesn’t close the modal when clicked.
focusbooleantruePuts the focus on the modal when initialized.
keyboardbooleantrueCloses the modal when escape key is pressed.

Methods

All API methods are asynchronous and start a transition. They return to the caller as soon as the transition is started, but before it ends. In addition, a method call on a transitioning component will be ignored. Learn more in our JavaScript docs.

Passing options

Activates your content as a modal. Accepts an optional options object.

  1. const myModal = new bootstrap.Modal('#myModal', {
  2.   keyboard: false
  3. })
MethodDescription
disposeDestroys an element’s modal. (Removes stored data on the DOM element)
getInstanceStatic method which allows you to get the modal instance associated with a DOM element.
getOrCreateInstanceStatic method which allows you to get the modal instance associated with a DOM element, or create a new one in case it wasn’t initialized.
handleUpdateManually readjust the modal’s position if the height of a modal changes while it is open (i.e. in case a scrollbar appears).
hideManually hides a modal. Returns to the caller before the modal has actually been hidden (i.e. before the hidden.bs.modal event occurs).
showManually opens a modal. Returns to the caller before the modal has actually been shown (i.e. before the shown.bs.modal event occurs). Also, you can pass a DOM element as an argument that can be received in the modal events (as the relatedTarget property). (i.e. const modalToggle = document.getElementById(‘toggleMyModal’); myModal.show(modalToggle).
toggleManually toggles a modal. Returns to the caller before the modal has actually been shown or hidden (i.e. before the shown.bs.modal or hidden.bs.modal event occurs).

Events

Bootstrap’s modal class exposes a few events for hooking into modal functionality. All modal events are fired at the modal itself (i.e. at the <div class="modal">).

EventDescription
hide.bs.modalThis event is fired immediately when the hide instance method has been called.
hidden.bs.modalThis event is fired when the modal has finished being hidden from the user (will wait for CSS transitions to complete).
hidePrevented.bs.modalThis event is fired when the modal is shown, its backdrop is static and a click outside of the modal is performed. The event is also fired when the escape key is pressed and the keyboard option is set to false.
show.bs.modalThis event fires immediately when the show instance method is called. If caused by a click, the clicked element is available as the relatedTarget property of the event.
shown.bs.modalThis event is fired when the modal has been made visible to the user (will wait for CSS transitions to complete). If caused by a click, the clicked element is available as the relatedTarget property of the event.
  1. const myModalEl = document.getElementById('myModal')
  2. myModalEl.addEventListener('hidden.bs.modal', event => {
  3.   // do something...
  4. })
