Create Custom PopUp Component in React

This blog is originally published at My Blog

Sometimes we fade up with using various modal box provided by Bootstrap or material or suppose we are not using any of these frameworks. then in such case we need to create our own component for Popups and Modal boxes, I created this for one of such requirement.

Before reading it if you want to take a look then try this demonstration

This will be a fully Reusable Component that we can Invoke from any of the component entire our project.

Step 1: Create a file named custom-popup.module.css with following code :

.overlay {
  visibility: hidden;
  opacity: 0;
  position: fixed;
  top: 0;
  bottom: 0;
  left: 0;
  right: 0;
  background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7);
  transition: opacity 500ms;
}
.popup {
  margin: 70px auto;
  padding: 20px;
  background: #fff;
  border-radius: 5px;
  width: 30%;
  position: relative;
  transition: all 5s ease-in-out;
}

.popup h2 {
  margin-top: 0;
  color: #333;
  font-family: Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;
}
.popup .close {
  position: absolute;
  top: 20px;
  right: 30px;
  transition: all 200ms;
  font-size: 30px;
  font-weight: bold;
  text-decoration: none;
  color: #333;
}
.popup .close:hover {
  cursor: pointer;
  color: #000;
}
.popup .content {
  max-height: 30%;
  overflow: auto;
}

@media screen and (max-width: 700px) {
  .popup {
    width: 70%;
  }
}

Step 2: Now create Popup Component with name CustomPopup.jsx with following code

import { useEffect, useState } from "react";
import popupStyles from "./custom-popup.module.css";
import PropTypes from "prop-types";
const CustomPopup = (props) => {
  const [show, setShow] = useState(false);

  const closeHandler = (e) => {
    setShow(false);
    props.onClose(false);
  };

  useEffect(() => {
    setShow(props.show);
  }, [props.show]);

  return (
    <div
      style={{
        visibility: show ? "visible" : "hidden",
        opacity: show ? "1" : "0"
      }}
      className={popupStyles.overlay}
    >
      <div className={popupStyles.popup}>
        <h2>{props.title}</h2>
        <span className={popupStyles.close} onClick={closeHandler}>
          &times;
        </span>
        <div className={popupStyles.content}>{props.children}</div>
      </div>
    </div>
  );
};

CustomPopup.propTypes = {
  title: PropTypes.string.isRequired,
  show: PropTypes.bool.isRequired,
  onClose: PropTypes.func.isRequired
};
export default CustomPopup;

This component using PropTypes, if you havent installed PropTypes in your project then do install that first using

npm install prop-types --save

Step 3: Invocation from another component

<CustomPopup
        onClose={popupCloseHandler}
        show={visibility}
        title="Hello Jeetendra"
      >
        <h1>Hello This is Popup Content Area</h1>
        <h2>This is my lorem ipsum text here!</h2>
      </CustomPopup>

It will need 3 props :
1: onClose – need a handler to do some activity after close
click in popup itself
2: show – pass the visibility of popup using boolean
3: title – provide the popup title

and Inside the you may pass any valid JSX that you want to render as content of popup

If you need a complete example how can we do utilise this PopUp Component then you may look into following code

import { useState } from "react";
import CustomPopup from "./CustomPopup";
import "./styles.css";

export default function App() {
  const [visibility, setVisibility] = useState(false);

  const popupCloseHandler = (e) => {
    setVisibility(e);
  };

  return (
    <div className="App">
      <button onClick={(e) => setVisibility(!visibility)}>Toggle Popup</button>

      <CustomPopup
        onClose={popupCloseHandler}
        show={visibility}
        title="Hello Jeetendra"
      >
        <h1>Hello This is Popup Content Area</h1>
        <h2>This is my lorem ipsum text here!</h2>
      </CustomPopup>
    </div>
  );
}
