Breaking convention in Skeleton, this component is provided “headless”. Meaning no default styles are applied out of the box. This ensures you retain full control of all styling for maximum flexibility.

Alert Dialog

The alertdialog role enables assistive technologies and browsers to distinguish alert dialogs from other dialogs so they have the option of giving alert dialogs special treatment, such as playing a system alert sound.

tsx

import { Dialog, Portal } from '@skeletonlabs/skeleton-react';

export default function AlertDialog() {
	return (
		<Dialog role="alertdialog">
			<Dialog.Trigger className="btn preset-filled">Trigger</Dialog.Trigger>
			<Portal>
				<Dialog.Backdrop className="fixed inset-0 z-50 bg-error-50-950/50" />
				<Dialog.Positioner className="fixed inset-0 z-50 flex justify-center items-center">
					<Dialog.Content className="card preset-filled-error-500 w-md p-4 space-y-2 shadow-xl">
						<Dialog.Title className="text-2xl font-bold">Alert</Dialog.Title>
						<Dialog.Description>Something important has happened!</Dialog.Description>
						<Dialog.CloseTrigger className="btn preset-tonal-error">Close</Dialog.CloseTrigger>
					</Dialog.Content>
				</Dialog.Positioner>
			</Portal>
		</Dialog>
	);
}

svelte

<script lang="ts">
	import { Dialog, Portal } from '@skeletonlabs/skeleton-svelte';
</script>

<Dialog role="alertdialog">
	<Dialog.Trigger class="btn preset-filled">Trigger</Dialog.Trigger>
	<Portal>
		<Dialog.Backdrop class="fixed inset-0 z-50 bg-error-50-950/50" />
		<Dialog.Positioner class="fixed inset-0 z-50 flex justify-center items-center">
			<Dialog.Content class="card preset-filled-error-500 w-md p-4 space-y-2 shadow-xl">
				<Dialog.Title class="text-2xl font-bold">Alert</Dialog.Title>
				<Dialog.Description>Something important has happened!</Dialog.Description>
				<Dialog.CloseTrigger class="btn preset-tonal-error">Close</Dialog.CloseTrigger>
			</Dialog.Content>
		</Dialog.Positioner>
	</Portal>
</Dialog>

Interaction

If desired, you can disable click to close interactions for the backdrop.

TIP: use this sparingly, as this can trap users in this experience without a dedicated close action.

tsx

import { Dialog, Portal } from '@skeletonlabs/skeleton-react';

export default function Interaction() {
	return (
		<Dialog closeOnInteractOutside={false}>
			<Dialog.Trigger className="btn preset-filled">Trigger</Dialog.Trigger>
			<Portal>
				<Dialog.Backdrop className="fixed inset-0 z-50 bg-surface-50-950/50" />
				<Dialog.Positioner className="fixed inset-0 z-50 flex justify-center items-center">
					<Dialog.Content className="card bg-surface-100-900 w-md p-4 space-y-2 shadow-xl">
						<Dialog.Title className="text-2xl font-bold">Dialog Title</Dialog.Title>
						<Dialog.Description>This dialog will only close with the Close button or via programmatic controls.</Dialog.Description>
						<Dialog.CloseTrigger className="btn preset-tonal">Close</Dialog.CloseTrigger>
					</Dialog.Content>
				</Dialog.Positioner>
			</Portal>
		</Dialog>
	);
}

svelte

<script lang="ts">
	import { Dialog, Portal } from '@skeletonlabs/skeleton-svelte';
</script>

<Dialog closeOnInteractOutside={false}>
	<Dialog.Trigger class="btn preset-filled">Trigger</Dialog.Trigger>
	<Portal>
		<Dialog.Backdrop class="fixed inset-0 z-50 bg-surface-50-950/50" />
		<Dialog.Positioner class="fixed inset-0 z-50 flex justify-center items-center">
			<Dialog.Content class="card bg-surface-100-900 w-md p-4 space-y-2 shadow-xl">
				<Dialog.Title class="text-2xl font-bold">Dialog Title</Dialog.Title>
				<Dialog.Description>This dialog will only close with the Close button or via programmatic controls.</Dialog.Description>
				<Dialog.CloseTrigger class="btn preset-tonal">Close</Dialog.CloseTrigger>
			</Dialog.Content>
		</Dialog.Positioner>
	</Portal>
</Dialog>

Drawer

This example repurposes the Dialog for use as a side-panel Drawer. This pairs well with the Navigation Sidebar .

tsx

import { Dialog, Portal } from '@skeletonlabs/skeleton-react';
import { XIcon } from 'lucide-react';

export default function Drawer() {
	// The following animations are optional.
	// These may also be included inline.
	const animBackdrop = 'transition transition-discrete opacity-0 starting:data-[state=open]:opacity-0 data-[state=open]:opacity-100';
	const animModal =
		'transition transition-discrete opacity-0 -translate-x-full starting:data-[state=open]:opacity-0 starting:data-[state=open]:-translate-x-full data-[state=open]:opacity-100 data-[state=open]:translate-x-0';

	return (
		<Dialog>
			<Dialog.Trigger className="btn preset-filled">Trigger</Dialog.Trigger>
			<Portal>
				<Dialog.Backdrop className={`fixed inset-0 z-50 bg-surface-50-950/50 ${animBackdrop}`} />
				<Dialog.Positioner className="fixed inset-0 z-50 flex justify-start">
					<Dialog.Content className={`h-screen card bg-surface-100-900 w-sm p-4 space-y-4 shadow-xl ${animModal}`}>
						<header className="flex justify-between items-center">
							<Dialog.Title className="text-2xl font-bold">Drawer</Dialog.Title>
							<Dialog.CloseTrigger className="btn-icon preset-tonal">
								<XIcon />
							</Dialog.CloseTrigger>
						</header>
						<p>A slide out drawer panel.</p>
					</Dialog.Content>
				</Dialog.Positioner>
			</Portal>
		</Dialog>
	);
}

svelte

<script lang="ts">
	import { XIcon } from '@lucide/svelte';
	import { Dialog, Portal } from '@skeletonlabs/skeleton-svelte';

	// The following animations are optional.
	// These may also be included inline.
	const animBackdrop = 'transition transition-discrete opacity-0 starting:data-[state=open]:opacity-0 data-[state=open]:opacity-100';
	const animModal =
		'transition transition-discrete opacity-0 -translate-x-full starting:data-[state=open]:opacity-0 starting:data-[state=open]:-translate-x-full data-[state=open]:opacity-100 data-[state=open]:translate-x-0';
</script>

<Dialog>
	<Dialog.Trigger class="btn preset-filled">Trigger</Dialog.Trigger>
	<Portal>
		<Dialog.Backdrop class="fixed inset-0 z-50 bg-surface-50-950/50 transition transition-discrete {animBackdrop}" />
		<Dialog.Positioner class="fixed inset-0 z-50 flex justify-start">
			<Dialog.Content class="h-screen card bg-surface-100-900 w-sm p-4 space-y-4 shadow-xl {animModal}">
				<header class="flex justify-between items-center">
					<Dialog.Title class="text-2xl font-bold">Drawer</Dialog.Title>
					<Dialog.CloseTrigger class="btn-icon preset-tonal">
						<XIcon />
					</Dialog.CloseTrigger>
				</header>
				<p>A slide out drawer panel.</p>
			</Dialog.Content>
		</Dialog.Positioner>
	</Portal>
</Dialog>

Z-Index

By default Skeleton does not take an opinionated stance regarding z-index stacking. The result is the component can sometimes be occluded beneath other elements with a higher index. The Z-Index can controlled by applying a utility class to the Positioner component.

tsx

import { Dialog, Portal } from '@skeletonlabs/skeleton-react';

export default function ZIndex() {
	return (
		<Dialog>
			<Dialog.Trigger className="btn preset-filled">Trigger</Dialog.Trigger>
			<Portal>
				<Dialog.Backdrop className="fixed inset-0 z-50 bg-surface-50-950/50" />
				<Dialog.Positioner className="fixed inset-0 z-50 flex justify-center items-center">
					<Dialog.Content className="card bg-surface-100-900 w-md p-4 space-y-2 shadow-xl">
						<Dialog.Title className="text-2xl font-bold">Setting Z-Index</Dialog.Title>
						<Dialog.Description>This dialog will have a z-index value of 50.</Dialog.Description>
						<Dialog.CloseTrigger className="btn preset-tonal">Close</Dialog.CloseTrigger>
					</Dialog.Content>
				</Dialog.Positioner>
			</Portal>
		</Dialog>
	);
}

svelte

<script lang="ts">
	import { Dialog, Portal } from '@skeletonlabs/skeleton-svelte';
</script>

<Dialog>
	<Dialog.Trigger class="btn preset-filled">Trigger</Dialog.Trigger>
	<Portal>
		<Dialog.Backdrop class="fixed inset-0 z-50 bg-surface-50-950/50" />
		<Dialog.Positioner class="fixed inset-0 z-50 flex justify-center items-center">
			<Dialog.Content class="card bg-surface-100-900 w-md p-4 space-y-2 shadow-xl">
				<Dialog.Title class="text-2xl font-bold">Setting Z-Index</Dialog.Title>
				<Dialog.Description>This dialog will have a z-index value of 50.</Dialog.Description>
				<Dialog.CloseTrigger class="btn preset-tonal">Close</Dialog.CloseTrigger>
			</Dialog.Content>
		</Dialog.Positioner>
	</Portal>
</Dialog>

Direction

Set the text direction (ltr or rtl) using the dir prop.

tsx

import { Dialog, Portal } from '@skeletonlabs/skeleton-react';

export default function Dir() {
	return (
		<Dialog dir="rtl">
			<Dialog.Trigger className="btn preset-filled">Trigger</Dialog.Trigger>
			<Portal>
				<Dialog.Backdrop className="fixed inset-0 z-50 bg-surface-50-950/50" />
				<Dialog.Positioner className="fixed inset-0 z-50 flex justify-center items-center">
					<Dialog.Content className="card bg-surface-100-900 w-md p-4 space-y-2 shadow-xl">
						<Dialog.Title className="text-2xl font-bold">Hello World</Dialog.Title>
						<Dialog.Description>This is an example of a basic dialog.</Dialog.Description>
						<Dialog.CloseTrigger className="btn preset-tonal">Close</Dialog.CloseTrigger>
					</Dialog.Content>
				</Dialog.Positioner>
			</Portal>
		</Dialog>
	);
}

svelte

<script lang="ts">
	import { Dialog, Portal } from '@skeletonlabs/skeleton-svelte';
</script>

<Dialog dir="rtl">
	<Dialog.Trigger class="btn preset-filled">Trigger</Dialog.Trigger>
	<Portal>
		<Dialog.Backdrop class="fixed inset-0 z-50 bg-surface-50-950/50" />
		<Dialog.Positioner class="fixed inset-0 z-50 flex justify-center items-center">
			<Dialog.Content class="card bg-surface-100-900 w-md p-4 space-y-2 shadow-xl">
				<Dialog.Title class="text-2xl font-bold">Hello World</Dialog.Title>
				<Dialog.Description>This is an example of a basic dialog.</Dialog.Description>
				<Dialog.CloseTrigger class="btn preset-tonal">Close</Dialog.CloseTrigger>
			</Dialog.Content>
		</Dialog.Positioner>
	</Portal>
</Dialog>

Anatomy

Here’s an overview of how the Dialog component is structured in code:

tsx

import { Dialog, Portal } from '@skeletonlabs/skeleton-react';

export default function Anatomy() {
	return (
		<Dialog>
			<Dialog.Trigger />
			<Portal>
				<Dialog.Backdrop />
				<Dialog.Positioner>
					<Dialog.Content>
						<Dialog.Title />
						<Dialog.Description />
						<Dialog.CloseTrigger />
					</Dialog.Content>
				</Dialog.Positioner>
			</Portal>
		</Dialog>
	);
}

svelte

<script lang="ts">
	import { Dialog, Portal } from '@skeletonlabs/skeleton-svelte';
</script>

<Dialog>
	<Dialog.Trigger />
	<Portal>
		<Dialog.Backdrop />
		<Dialog.Positioner>
			<Dialog.Content>
				<Dialog.Title />
				<Dialog.Description />
				<Dialog.CloseTrigger />
			</Dialog.Content>
		</Dialog.Positioner>
	</Portal>
</Dialog>
