Modal

A Modal appears in front of app content to provide critical information or ask for a decision. Modals remain on screen until confirmed, dismissed, or a required action has been taken.

How it works

  • Modals are positioned over everything else in the document and remove scroll from the <body> so that modal content scrolls instead.
  • By default, clicking on the modal “backdrop” will automatically close the modal.
  • 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:
const myModal = document.getElementById('myModal')
const myInput = document.getElementById('myInput')

myModal.addEventListener('shown.bs.modal', () => {
  myInput.focus()
})

html 
<button type="button" class="btn btn-pink rounded-pill px-4" data-bs-toggle="modal" data-bs-target="#myModal">
  Open modal
</button>
html 
<div class="modal fade" id="myModal" tabindex="-1" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
  <div class="modal-dialog modal-lg">
    <div class="modal-content">
      <div class="modal-header">
        <h4 class="modal-title" id="myModalLabel">Modal Heading</h4>
        <button type="button" class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"></button>
      </div>

      <div class="modal-body">
        Modal body...
      </div>

      <div class="modal-footer">
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-dark" data-bs-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

With Forms, Popover and Tooltip

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

        <button type="button" class="btn btn-dark" data-bs-dismiss="modal">Close</button>

    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Static backdrop

When backdrop is set to static, the modal will not close when clicking outside of it.

html 
<button type="button" class="btn btn-pink rounded-pill px-4" data-bs-toggle="modal" data-bs-target="#staticBackdropModal">
  Open static backdrop modal
</button>
html 
<div class="modal fade" id="staticBackdropModal" data-bs-backdrop="static" data-bs-keyboard="false" tabindex="-1" aria-labelledby="staticBackdropModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
  <div class="modal-dialog">
    <div class="modal-content">
      <div class="modal-header">
        <h4 class="modal-title" id="staticBackdropModalLabel">Modal Heading</h4>
        <button type="button" class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"></button>
      </div>

      <div class="modal-body">
        I will not close if you click outside of me. Don't even try to press escape key.
      </div>

      <div class="modal-footer">
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-dark" data-bs-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Vertically centered

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

html 
<button type="button" class="btn btn-pink rounded-pill px-4" data-bs-toggle="modal" data-bs-target="#verticallyCenteredModal">
  Open vertically centered modal
</button>
html 
<div class="modal fade" id="verticallyCenteredModal" tabindex="-1" aria-labelledby="centeredModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
  <div class="modal-dialog modal-dialog-centered">
    <div class="modal-content">
      <div class="modal-header">
        <h4 class="modal-title" id="centeredModalLabel">Modal Heading</h4>
        <button type="button" class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"></button>
      </div>

      <div class="modal-body">
        Modal body...
      </div>

      <div class="modal-footer">
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-dark" data-bs-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Scrolling long content

When modals become too long for the user’s viewport or device, they scroll independent of the page itself.

html 
<button type="button" class="btn btn-pink rounded-pill px-4" data-bs-toggle="modal" data-bs-target="#longContentModal">
  Open long content modal
</button>
html 
<div class="modal fade" id="longContentModal" tabindex="-1" aria-labelledby="longContentModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
  <div class="modal-dialog">
    <div class="modal-content">
      <div class="modal-header">
        <h4 class="modal-title" id="longContentModalLabel">Modal Heading</h4>
        <button type="button" class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"></button>
      </div>

      <div class="modal-body">
        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.
        <br>
        <br>

        <br>
        <br>
        <br>
        <br>
        <br>
        <br>
        <br>
        <br>
        <br>
        <br>
        <br>
        <br>
        <br>
        <br>
        <br>
        <br>
        <br>
        <br>
        <br>
        <br>
        <br>
        <br>
        <br>
        <br>
        <br>
        <br>
        <br>
        This content should appear at the bottom after you scroll.
      </div>

      <div class="modal-footer">
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-dark" data-bs-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

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

html 
<button type="button" class="btn btn-pink rounded-pill px-4" data-bs-toggle="modal" data-bs-target="#bodyScrollModal">
  Open body scrollable modal
</button>
html 
<div class="modal fade" id="bodyScrollModal" tabindex="-1" aria-labelledby="bodyScrollModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
  <div class="modal-dialog modal-dialog-scrollable">
    <div class="modal-content">
      <div class="modal-header">
        <h4 class="modal-title" id="bodyScrollModalLabel">Modal Heading</h4>
        <button type="button" class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"></button>
      </div>

      <div class="modal-body">
        This is some placeholder content to show the scrolling behavior for modals.
