Modal

The Modal component is a basic 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.

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.

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.

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.
