menu

Use a modal for dialog boxes, confirmation messages, or other content that can be called up. In order for the modal to work you have to add the Modal ID to the link of the trigger. To add a close button, just add the class .modal-close to your button.

Modal 

  <!-- Modal Trigger -->
  <a class="waves-effect waves-light btn modal-trigger" href="#modal1">Modal</a>

  <!-- Modal Structure -->
  <div id="modal1" class="modal">
    <div class="modal-content">
      <h4>Modal Header</h4>
      <p>A bunch of text</p>
    </div>
    <div class="modal-footer">
      <a href="#!" class="modal-close waves-effect waves-green btn-flat">Agree</a>
    </div>
  </div>

Modals with Button trigger

If you prefer to use a button to open a modal specify the Modal ID in data-target rather than the href attribute. 


  <!-- Modal Trigger -->
  <button data-target="modal1" class="btn modal-trigger">Modal</button>

Initialization

To open a modal using a trigger:


  document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
    var elems = document.querySelectorAll('.modal');
    var instances = M.Modal.init(elems, {
      // specify options here
    });
  });

  // Or with jQuery

  $(document).ready(function(){
    $('.modal').modal({
      // specify options here
    });
  });

Options

You can customize the behavior of each modal using these options. For example, you can call a custom function to run when a modal is dismissed. To do this, just place your function in the initialization code as shown below.

Name Type Default Description
opacity Number 0.5 Opacity of the modal overlay.
inDuration Number 250 Transition in duration in milliseconds.
outDuration Number 250 Transition out duration in milliseconds.
onOpenStart Function null Callback function called before modal is opened.
onOpenEnd Function null Callback function called after modal is opened.
onCloseStart Function null Callback function called before modal is closed.
onCloseEnd Function null Callback function called after modal is closed.
preventScrolling Boolean true Prevent page from scrolling while modal is open.
dismissible Boolean true Allow modal to be dismissed by keyboard or overlay click.
startingTop String '4%' Starting top offset
endingTop String '10%' Ending top offset

Methods

Because jQuery is no longer a dependency, all the methods are called on the plugin instance. You can get the plugin instance like this: 


  var instance = M.Modal.getInstance(elem);

  /* jQuery Method Calls
    You can still use the old jQuery plugin method calls.
    But you won't be able to access instance properties.

    $('.modal').modal('methodName');
    $('.modal').modal('methodName', paramName);
  */
.open();

Open modal


instance.open();

.close();

Close modal


instance.close();

.destroy();

Destroy plugin instance and teardown


instance.destroy();

Properties

Name Type Description
el Element The DOM element the plugin was initialized with.
options Object The options the instance was initialized with.
isOpen Boolean If the modal is open.
id string ID of the modal element

Bottom Sheet Modals

Modal Bottom Sheet Style

Bottom Sheet Modals are good for displaying actions to the user on the bottom of a screen. They still act the same as regular modals.


  <!-- Modal Trigger -->
  <a class="waves-effect waves-light btn modal-trigger" href="#modal1">Modal</a>

  <!-- Modal Structure -->
  <div id="modal1" class="modal bottom-sheet">
    <div class="modal-content">
      <h4>Modal Header</h4>
      <p>A bunch of text</p>
    </div>
    <div class="modal-footer">
      <a href="#!" class="modal-close waves-effect waves-green btn-flat">Agree</a>
    </div>
  </div>
