Modal

The Modal component is a simple way to present content above an enclosing view.
Note: If you need more control over how to present modals over the rest of your app, then consider using a top-level Navigator.
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { Modal, Text, TouchableHighlight, View, Alert } from 'react-native';

class ModalExample extends Component {
  state = {
    modalVisible: false,
  };

  setModalVisible(visible) {
    this.setState({ modalVisible: visible });
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <View style={{ marginTop: 22 }}>
        <Modal
          animationType="slide"
          transparent={false}
          visible={this.state.modalVisible}
          onRequestClose={() => {
            Alert.alert('Modal has been closed.');
          }}>
          <View style={{ marginTop: 22 }}>
            <View>
              <Text>Hello World!</Text>

              <TouchableHighlight
                onPress={() => {
                  this.setModalVisible(!this.state.modalVisible);
                }}>
                <Text>Hide Modal</Text>
              </TouchableHighlight>
            </View>
          </View>
        </Modal>

        <TouchableHighlight
          onPress={() => {
            this.setModalVisible(true);
          }}>
          <Text>Show Modal</Text>
        </TouchableHighlight>
      </View>
    );
  }
}

Props

Reference

Props

visible

The visible prop determines whether your modal is visible.
TypeRequired
boolNo

supportedOrientations

The supportedOrientations prop allows the modal to be rotated to any of the specified orientations. On iOS, the modal is still restricted by what's specified in your app's Info.plist's UISupportedInterfaceOrientations field. When using presentationStyle of pageSheet or formSheet, this property will be ignored by iOS.

array of enum('portrait', 'portrait-upside-down', 'landscape', 'landscape-left', 'landscape-right')NoiOS

onRequestClose

The onRequestClose callback is called when the user taps the hardware back button on Android or the menu button on Apple TV. Because of this required prop, be aware that BackHandler events will not be emitted as long as the modal is open.

The onShow prop allows passing a function that will be called once the modal has been shown.

The transparent prop determines whether your modal will fill the entire view. Setting this to true will render the modal over a transparent background.

The presentationStyle prop controls how the modal appears (generally on larger devices such as iPad or plus-sized iPhones). See https://developer.apple.com/reference/uikit/uimodalpresentationstyle for details.

  • pageSheet covers portrait-width view centered (only on larger devices)
  • formSheet covers narrow-width view centered (only on larger devices)
  • overFullScreen covers the screen completely, but allows transparency
Default is set to overFullScreen or fullScreen depending on transparent property.
