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>
    );
  }
}

Reference

Props

visible

The visible prop determines whether your modal is visible.

Type	Required
bool	No

---

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.

Type	Required	Platform
array of enum('portrait', 'portrait-upside-down', 'landscape', 'landscape-left', 'landscape-right')	No	iOS

---

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.

Type	Required	Platform
function	Yes	Android, Platform.isTVOS
function	No	(Others)

---

onShow

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

Type	Required
function	No

---

transparent

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

Type	Required
bool	No

---

animationType

The animationType prop controls how the modal animates.

• slide slides in from the bottom
• fade fades into view
• none appears without an animation

Default is set to none.

Type	Required
enum('none', 'slide', 'fade')	No

---

hardwareAccelerated

The hardwareAccelerated prop controls whether to force hardware acceleration for the underlying window.

Type	Required	Platform
bool	No	Android

---

onDismiss

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

Type	Required	Platform
function	No	iOS

---

onOrientationChange

The onOrientationChange callback is called when the orientation changes while the modal is being displayed. The orientation provided is only 'portrait' or 'landscape'. This callback is also called on initial render, regardless of the current orientation.

Type	Required	Platform
function	No	iOS

---

presentationStyle

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.

• fullScreen covers the screen completely
• 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.

Type	Required	Platform
enum('fullScreen', 'pageSheet', 'formSheet', 'overFullScreen')	No	iOS

---

animated

Deprecated. Use the animationType prop instead.
