  • Modals have been a part of web development for decades now, but they have always been a bit of a pain to work with. The main reason modals have been such a pain is because it is difficult to make a truly accessible modal that conforms to all accessibility standards. This is why the new HTML dialog element is so exciting. The dialog element makes it so much easier to create accessible modals, and in this video I will explain everything you need to know about the dialog element to use it in your next project.

    This dialog element is amazing not just for accessibility but it comes with its own show/close API that can be easily implemented in React with a useRef hook. This should be the direction for web/mobile app development - making life easier for both the end user and developer.

      It's long overdue. There have been far too many hacky ways of doing things in the frontend, these things should just exist by default.
      I wish the details element could receive a bit more love.

    Rather than introduce complexity with getBoundingClientRect (which may potentially trigger all kinds of false positives from dropdown menus, rounded corners, and other dialog interaction that may overflow the cursor rectangle target), why not simply wrap the content inside the dialog with a div and set an event listener that closes the dialog when that content wrapper div loses focus? In fact, I wonder if the dialog object itself might not also raise a blur event somewhere that we can detect and handle. Awesome video, in any case, Kyle.

    • @dsego84
      @dsego84 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Yeah, even without the div, seems like it should be possible to get the actual target in the bubbling phase and compare selector to check if it is the backdrop element or not.

    • @robertholtz
      @robertholtz ปีที่แล้ว +11

      @@dsego84 As a result of this discussion, I've been toying around with this in CodePen and have not been able to trap the actual target natively. The main problem is that the full page backdrop is part of the modal. In effect, when the modal is open, all clicks all over the page are regarded by the DOM to still be inside the modal. In practice, there is no way for the modal to lose focus at runtime while open. The div trick works. It's a decent workaround (a better workaround than getBoundingClientRect in my opinion) but it's not perfect. The div style must be forced edge to edge to occupy the entire dialog. If you don't do that, a click on any whitespace inside the dialog but outside the div counts as a blur event and the dialog closes. I now share Kyle's frustration, all of these tricks should be future polyfill. Truth is, the dialog object itself should natively raise an event when the backdrop is clicked. Even easier, I'd love a property we could simply set to change the modal behavior to make it close on such a click. Frankly, if we are making a wish list, I'd like both. In fact, I'd also like the backdrop to be a property of the dialog object instead of a pseudo style. My current assessment is the dialog tag is a big improvement on the usual hassles with modals but the implementation is only about 90% there. I'm still experimenting to find a universal elegant solution for modal close-on- blur. My gut still tells me that something else somewhere must bubble to the DOM that we can use as a trigger.

    • @robertholtz
      @robertholtz ปีที่แล้ว

      @@krzysztofrozbicki1776 You are quite right. I pointed that out later in the thread when I started actually testing this out. You must override dialog's default styling and make sure your control div spans edge-to-edge of the entire dialog. Any click on the whitespace inside the dialog but outside the div counts as a trigger and the dialog closes. I'm still looking for a more elegant solution but I believe this is still better than getBoundingClientRect. With the div approach, not overriding the default dialog padding is the only way I have found that may raise a false positive but that has an easy fix. In contrast, getBoundingClientRect has many potential false positive scenarios, some of which are so involved to guard against that it nets out to be far less work to just do modals the traditional way. I prefer modals that close on blur and I want to take advantage of dialog's baked-in behavior. The div trick enables developers like me to achieve both. My quest continues for a still-better detection method.

    Amazing information once again, Kyle! Thank you. 👍
    There's one single thing that I wish was covered, but perhaps it was left out due to the complexity involved. I'm developing in React and most of our applications require way more complexity of handling modals than a single one per page or application. How would this work with multiple modals being triggered from the same location? Not overlapping, obviously, but perhaps I have an extremely custom layout with multiple flows that can be triggered from the same location. I do believe you'd eventually dig into unique identifiers, but I'm just wondering if it has support for that at all.
    Nonetheless, gold information right here. We can finally start dropping libraries handling stuff like this. Will dive into how this could be implemented in React with Redux perhaps or with programatically triggering these modals. Much appreciated!

    That is a real nice introduction to the dialog element! I was aware of it, but did not dive into details until now.
    Since I was a little set back by the whole "getBoundingClientRect"-thing, I prodded a little bit around. Although you can not distinguish between Dialog and Backdrop on click, you can, however, get rid of the "getBoundingClientRect".
     The PointerEvent has "offsetX/Y" properties which are negative when the click is left of or above the dialog. Further "offsetX > modal.offsetWidth" holds for clicks right of the dialog and conversely "offsetY > modal.offsetHeight" for clicks below the dialog.
     I do not know, however, if this still holds for very big dialogs - still could, I guess.

    I only got sad with the fact of that it is not possible natively to close the modal by clicking outside it (clicking in the ::background space), and although they recommend the getBoundingClienteRect() function, it doesn't work correctly when your modal has border-radius and you click on that specifcly space. But I think it's going to get better in the future.

Confirm() can only show a text-message and return OK/Cancel, but showModalDialog() could show and return whatever you wanted. And you could have your code in one place without needing to scatter it among callback methods and global variables... But, as always - great video!

      You should go read the HTML docs. A lot of native elements have been introduced over the years. Dialog elements have been around for a few years already, just not widely known

    Dope element! Didn't try, but seems like using it with react would be hard.

    I hope they will do the same with a search element. HTML5 is doing great

    Nice and informative video. Only I'd change the title, since this element is not really "new", Chrome 37 already had it many years ago.

    Finally, something! I still don't understand why for so many years HTML doesn't have such simple features like population of or / with an array. Or even to populate a table you need to create elements or deal with strings and innerHTML

      dynamic DOM changes is exactly why JS exists.

      You're talking about logic there. HTML is simply a container, it has no concept of logic.
      For logic we use JS, or, to build on that you could use something like JSX.

      But you *are* populating with an array... of elements. Markup is markup, the only way to represent data structures or anything else in it is with elements.

    Really nice! Will definitely be using this.
    There is one problem I ran into though when trying to use this in React, and i'm a bit surprised this isn't natively an option for the dialog element: usually when I build a modal I want people to be able to click away the modal by clikcing the underlay. I tried to build some solutions for this, but I ended up writing more code then if I would build a modal from scratch.
    Did you find any solutions for this?
    Cheers!

    The dialog element is great, but unusable really for Route based modal experiences using SSR frameworks - just the one downside to look out for. Great video!

  • @DanielRios549

    Very nice this dialog Element, I am having some problems to update a Modal component I have in one of the projects I'm working on, but it's normal, it's a new Element and I don't know how to use it very much.

  •  ปีที่แล้ว

    Could this tag be used to make a collapsible sidebar as well?

  • @repenning1
    @repenning1 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Nice work! If you wrap up your dialog with a promise 'return new Promise(resolve => {
    // dialog
    const dialog = document.createElement("dialog")' then you need to capture the cancel event ' dialog.addEventListener("cancel", e => {
    resolve("cancel")
    })' and finally add a call to resolve to your click event handler '...dialog.close()
    resolve("cancel")..."

  • @JamesRichardsPlays

    I am not 100% sure why this is in my suggestion feed, but I am not complaining. Being a hobbyist coder and no one ever hiring me, making me use HTML on a daily basis, a lot of this is stuck in reference books and code example snippets. I wish I could keep this in my head more.
    I am amazed at how HTML has changed since the days in high school when I would make pages for my old GeoCities site. Things have sure changed.

    Regarding the cancel button: It feels weird that the cancel button still of the submit type. Would that work with type="button" as well?

    • @HBStone
      @HBStone ปีที่แล้ว

      I was thinking that too, or even type="reset" if you want Cancel to clear the form while closing the modal... At least I thought it was weird that both buttons saved the input, I wouldn't expect that as a site visitor.

    Looks nice and simple to use. Can you also animate the modal when is shows and close?

    • @AntowaKartowa
      @AntowaKartowa ปีที่แล้ว

      Seems not. Tried to apply (.modal[open]) opacity or simply background color transition, but it didn't work. Even if it would work with appearing, it won't with disappearing anyway.
      To use benefits of dialog element and animate you will have to add and remove to dialog class with animation styles.

  • @bobdinitto
    @bobdinitto ปีที่แล้ว

    I only wish I knew about this sooner. I spent a fair amount of time creating dialog boxes for my current project using Firefox for testing. I solved all the problems of backdrop, tab navigation, etc. BUT unfortunately when I run my code on Chrome I get annoying flashes that are completely unacceptable and will have to be fixed. I've known about this problem for months and was thinking that maybe the dialog element would be the solution, but hadn't yet found time to investigate. So now you've convinced me the dialog element is the way to go.

  • @huzbum
    @huzbum ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm not sure if it's still best practice, but I like to use a link styled as a button to cancel/close, and an actual button for save/submit so the cancel button can't be the default behavior if you hit enter inside an input in the form.

    • @huzbum
      @huzbum ปีที่แล้ว

      I also apply a click handler to the body to close the modal, then a stop propagation click handler on the modal.
