Add the dependency:
``bash`
npm i react-native-global-modal-2
Click to expand
`json`
"react-native-modal": "^13.0.1"
`jsx`
import GlobalModal, { ModalController } from "react-native-global-modal-2"
First, import the necessary components:
`jsx`
import GlobalModal, { ModalController } from "react-native-global-modal-2"
Add the GlobalModal component to your app's root:
`jsx
// App.tsx or your root component
import React, { useRef } from 'react';
import { NavigationContainer } from '@react-navigation/native';
import GlobalModal, { ModalController, GlobalModalRef } from "react-native-global-modal-2";
const App = () => {
const modalRef = useRef
React.useEffect(() => {
if (modalRef.current) {
ModalController.setModalRef(modalRef);
}
}, []);
return (
animationIn="fadeIn"
animationOut="fadeOut"
onBackdropPress={ModalController.hide}
/>
);
};
`
Basic modal with minimal styling:
`jsx
import { ModalController } from "react-native-global-modal-2";
const showSimpleModal = () => {
ModalController.show({
content: (
),
});
};
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
modalContent: {
backgroundColor: '#fff',
padding: 20,
borderRadius: 8,
alignItems: 'center',
},
title: {
fontSize: 18,
fontWeight: 'bold',
marginBottom: 10,
},
text: {
marginBottom: 20,
textAlign: 'center',
},
});
`
Modal with custom styling and animations:
`jsx
const showStyledModal = () => {
ModalController.show({
content: (
Custom styled modal with beautiful design
onPress={() => ModalController.hide()}>
),
});
};
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
styledContent: {
backgroundColor: '#4A90E2',
padding: 30,
borderRadius: 20,
alignItems: 'center',
shadowColor: '#000',
shadowOffset: { width: 0, height: 2 },
shadowOpacity: 0.25,
shadowRadius: 3.84,
elevation: 5,
},
styledTitle: {
color: '#fff',
fontSize: 24,
fontWeight: 'bold',
marginBottom: 16,
},
styledText: {
color: '#fff',
marginBottom: 24,
textAlign: 'center',
},
closeButton: {
backgroundColor: '#fff',
paddingHorizontal: 20,
paddingVertical: 10,
borderRadius: 8,
},
buttonText: {
color: '#4A90E2',
fontWeight: '600',
},
});
`
Modal that covers the entire screen:
`jsx
const showFullScreenModal = () => {
ModalController.show({
content: (
This modal takes up the entire screen
onPress={() => ModalController.hide()}>
),
isFullScreen: true,
containerStyle: {
backgroundColor: '#fff',
},
});
};
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
fullScreenContent: {
flex: 1,
justifyContent: 'center',
alignItems: 'center',
padding: 20,
},
fullScreenTitle: {
fontSize: 28,
fontWeight: 'bold',
marginBottom: 16,
},
fullScreenText: {
fontSize: 18,
marginBottom: 24,
textAlign: 'center',
},
fullScreenButton: {
backgroundColor: '#102B43',
paddingHorizontal: 24,
paddingVertical: 12,
borderRadius: 8,
},
fullScreenButtonText: {
color: '#fff',
fontSize: 16,
fontWeight: '600',
},
});
`
You can customize the modal animations using any animation type from react-native-modal:
`jsx`
animationOut="slideOutDown" // or fadeOut, bounceOut, etc.
animationInTiming={500} // animation duration in ms
animationOutTiming={500}
backdropTransitionInTiming={500}
backdropTransitionOutTiming={500}
/>
Example of a modal containing a form:
`jsx
const showFormModal = () => {
const [name, setName] = useState('');
const [email, setEmail] = useState('');
const handleSubmit = () => {
// Handle form submission
console.log({ name, email });
ModalController.hide();
};
ModalController.show({
content: (
value={name}
onChangeText={setName}
placeholder="Enter your name"
/>
value={email}
onChangeText={setEmail}
placeholder="Enter your email"
keyboardType="email-address"
/>
onPress={handleSubmit}>
),
});
};
`
Example of a loading modal:
`jsx
const showLoadingModal = () => {
ModalController.show({
content: (
),
});
// Hide the modal after some async operation
setTimeout(() => {
ModalController.hide();
}, 2000);
};
`
You can use the onShow and onHide callbacks:
`jsx`
ModalController.show({
content:
onShow: () => {
console.log('Modal shown');
// Perform actions when modal is shown
},
onHide: () => {
console.log('Modal hidden');
// Clean up or perform actions when modal is hidden
},
});
1. Modal Reference: Always set up the modal reference in your root component to ensure it's accessible throughout your app.
2. Error Handling: Handle cases where the modal reference might not be set:
`jsx`
const showModal = () => {
try {
ModalController.show({
content:
});
} catch (error) {
console.warn('Failed to show modal:', error);
}
};
3. Styling: Keep modal styles consistent throughout your app by defining a common style theme:
`jsx`
const modalStyles = {
content: {
backgroundColor: '#fff',
borderRadius: 12,
padding: 20,
},
title: {
fontSize: 20,
fontWeight: 'bold',
},
// ... other common styles
};
4. Performance: For modals with complex content, consider using useMemo or useCallback:`jsx
const ModalContent = React.memo(() => {
const handlePress = useCallback(() => {
// Handle press
}, []);
return (
);
});
