How it works

Before getting started with MDB modal component, be sure to read the following as our menu options have recently changed.

  • Modals are positioned over everything else in the document and remove scroll from the <body> so that modal content scrolls instead.
  • Clicking on the modal “backdrop” will automatically close the modal.
  • Bootstrap only supports one modal window at a time. Nested modals aren’t supported as we believe them to be poor user experiences.
  • Modals use position: fixed, which can sometimes be a bit particular about its rendering. Whenever possible, place your modal HTML in a top-level position to avoid potential interference from other elements. You’ll likely run into issues when nesting a MDBModal within another fixed element.
  • Once again, due to position: fixed, there are some caveats with using modals on mobile devices.
  • Due to how HTML5 defines its semantics, the autofocus HTML attribute has no effect in Bootstrap modals. To achieve the same effect, use some custom JavaScript: 
<template>
  <MDBModal v-on:shown="setFocus" v-model="show">
    <MDBModalBody>
      <MDBInput id="myInput" />
    </MDBModalBody>
  </MDBModal>
  <MDBBtn @click="show = true">Open modal</MDBBtn>
</template>
<script>
  import { MDBModal, MDBModalBody, MDBInput, MDBBtn } from 'mdb-vue-ui-kit';
  import { ref } from 'vue'

  export default {
    components: {
      MDBModal,
      MDBModalBody,
      MDBInput,
      MDBBtn,
    },
    setup() {
      const setFocus = () => {
        const myInput = document.getElementById('myInput');
        myInput.focus();
      }
      const show = ref(false);
      return {
        setFocus,
        show,
      };
    },
  };
</script>
<script setup lang="ts">
  import { MDBModal, MDBModalBody, MDBInput, MDBBtn } from 'mdb-vue-ui-kit';
  import { ref } from 'vue'

  const setFocus = () => {
    const myInput = document.getElementById('myInput') as HTMLInputElement;
    myInput.focus();
  }
  const show = ref(false);
</script>

Modal components

Below is a static MDBModal example (meaning its position and display have been overridden). Included are the MDBModalHeader, MDBModalBody (required for padding), and MDBModalFooter (optional). MDBModalHeader is by default included with dismiss action button. You can also provide another explicit dismiss action, e.g. inside MDBModalFooter component.

Modal title

Modal body text goes here.

<template>
  <MDBModal
    tabindex="-1"
    style="position: static; display: block; height: auto"
    :modelValue="true"
    removeBackdrop
    :keyboard="false"
    :focus="false"
  >
    <MDBModalHeader>
      <MDBModalTitle>Modal title</MDBModalTitle>
    </MDBModalHeader>
    <MDBModalBody>
      <p>Modal body text goes here.</p>
    </MDBModalBody>
    <MDBModalFooter>
      <MDBBtn color="secondary"> Close </MDBBtn>
      <MDBBtn color="primary"> Save changes </MDBBtn>
    </MDBModalFooter>
  </MDBModal>
</template>
<script>
  import {
    MDBModal,
    MDBModalHeader,
    MDBModalTitle,
    MDBModalBody,
    MDBModalFooter,
    MDBBtn,
  } from 'mdb-vue-ui-kit';
  export default {
    components: {
      MDBModal,
      MDBModalHeader,
      MDBModalTitle,
      MDBModalBody,
      MDBModalFooter,
      MDBBtn,
    },
  };
</script>
<script setup lang="ts">
  import {
    MDBModal,
    MDBModalHeader,
    MDBModalTitle,
    MDBModalBody,
    MDBModalFooter,
    MDBBtn,
  } from 'mdb-vue-ui-kit';
</script>

Position

To change the position of the modal add one of the following properties to the MDBModal

Top right: side + position="top-right"

Top left: side + position="top-left"

Bottom right: side + position="bottom-right"

Bottom left: side + position="bottom-right"

Note: If you want to change the direction of modal animation, add position="top | right | bottom | left" property to the MDBModal. 

<template>
  <!-- Button trigger modal -->
  <MDBBtn
    color="primary"
    aria-controls="exampleSideModal1"
    @click="exampleSideModal1 = true"
    class="mb-2"
  >
    Top right
  </MDBBtn>
  <!-- Modal example - top right -->
  <MDBModal
    side
    position="top-right"
    direction="right"
    id="exampleSideModal1"
    tabindex="-1"
    labelledby="exampleSideModalLabel1"
    v-model="exampleSideModal1"
  >
    <MDBModalHeader color="info" class="text-white">
      <MDBModalTitle id="exampleSideModalLabel1"> Product in the cart </MDBModalTitle>
    </MDBModalHeader>
    <MDBModalBody>
      <MDBRow>
        <MDBCol col="3" class="text-center">
          <i class="fas fa-shopping-cart fa-4x text-info"></i>
        </MDBCol>
        <MDBCol col="9">
          <p>Do you need more time to make a purchase decision?</p>
          <p>No pressure, your product will be waiting for you in the cart.</p>
        </MDBCol>
      </MDBRow>
    </MDBModalBody>
    <MDBModalFooter>
      <MDBBtn color="info"> Go to the cart </MDBBtn>
      <MDBBtn color="outline-info" @click="exampleSideModal1 = false"> Close </MDBBtn>
    </MDBModalFooter>
  </MDBModal>
</template>
<script>
  import {
    MDBModal,
    MDBModalHeader,
    MDBModalTitle,
    MDBModalBody,
    MDBModalFooter,
    MDBBtn,
    MDBRow,
    MDBCol,
  } from 'mdb-vue-ui-kit';
  import { ref } from 'vue';
  export default {
    components: {
      MDBModal,
      MDBModalHeader,
      MDBModalTitle,
      MDBModalBody,
      MDBModalFooter,
      MDBBtn,
      MDBRow,
      MDBCol,
    },
    setup() {
      const exampleSideModal1 = ref(false);
      return {
        exampleSideModal1,
      };
    },
  };
</script>
<script setup lang="ts">
  import {
    MDBModal,
    MDBModalHeader,
    MDBModalTitle,
    MDBModalBody,
    MDBModalFooter,
    MDBBtn,
    MDBRow,
    MDBCol,
  } from 'mdb-vue-ui-kit';
  import { ref } from 'vue';

  const exampleSideModal1 = ref(false);
</script>

Frame

To make the modal "frame-like" add frame property to the MDBModal element. You also need to specify the position property with bottom or top values. 

<template>
  <!-- Button trigger modal -->
  <MDBBtn
    color="primary"
    aria-controls="exampleFrameModal1"
    @click="exampleFrameModal1 = true"
    class="mb-2"
  >
    Top
  </MDBBtn>
  <!-- Modal frame top example -->
  <MDBModal
    frame
    position="top"
    id="exampleFrameModal1"
    tabindex="-1"
    labelledby="exampleFrameModal1"
    v-model="exampleFrameModal1"
  >
    <MDBModalBody class="py-1">
      <div class="d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center my-3">
        <h4>
          <MDBBadge color="primary">v52gs1</MDBBadge>
        </h4>
        <p class="pt-3 mx-4">
          We have a gift for you! Use this code to get a
          <strong>10% discount</strong>.
        </p>
        <MDBBtn color="primary" size="sm" class="ms-2"> Use it </MDBBtn>
        <MDBBtn color="info" size="sm" @click="exampleFrameModal1 = false">
          No, thanks
        </MDBBtn>
      </div>
    </MDBModalBody>
  </MDBModal>
  <!-- Modal frame top example-->
</template>
<script>
  import {
    MDBModal,
    MDBModalBody,
    MDBBtn,
    MDBBadge
  } from "mdb-vue-ui-kit";
  import { ref } from 'vue';
  export default {
    components: {
      MDBModal,
      MDBModalBody,
      MDBBtn,
      MDBBadge
    },
    setup() {
      const exampleFrameModal1 = ref(false);
      return {
        exampleFrameModal1
      }
    }
  };
</script>
<script setup lang="ts">
  import {
    MDBModal,
    MDBModalBody,
    MDBBtn,
    MDBBadge
  } from "mdb-vue-ui-kit";
  import { ref } from 'vue';

  const exampleFrameModal1 = ref(false);
</script>

Static backdrop

When staticBackdrop property is added to MDBModal, the modal will not close when clicking outside it. Click the button below to try it. 

<template>
  <!-- Button trigger modal -->
  <MDBBtn
    color="primary"
    aria-controls="staticBackdropLabel"
    @click="staticBackdrop = true"
  >
    Launch static backdrop modal
  </MDBBtn>
  <!-- Modal -->
  <MDBModal
    id="staticBackdrop"
    tabindex="-1"
    labelledby="staticBackdropLabel"
    v-model="staticBackdrop"
    staticBackdrop
  >
    <MDBModalHeader>
      <MDBModalTitle id="staticBackdropLabel"> Modal title </MDBModalTitle>
    </MDBModalHeader>
    <MDBModalBody>...</MDBModalBody>
    <MDBModalFooter>
      <MDBBtn color="secondary" @click="staticBackdrop = false"> Close </MDBBtn>
      <MDBBtn color="primary"> Understood </MDBBtn>
    </MDBModalFooter>
  </MDBModal>
</template>
<script>
  import {
    MDBModal,
    MDBModalHeader,
    MDBModalTitle,
    MDBModalBody,
    MDBModalFooter,
    MDBBtn,
  } from 'mdb-vue-ui-kit';
  import { ref } from 'vue';
  export default {
    components: {
      MDBModal,
      MDBModalHeader,
      MDBModalTitle,
      MDBModalBody,
      MDBModalFooter,
      MDBBtn,
    },
    setup() {
      const staticBackdrop = ref(false);
      return {
        staticBackdrop,
      };
    },
  };
</script>
<script setup lang="ts">
  import {
    MDBModal,
    MDBModalHeader,
    MDBModalTitle,
    MDBModalBody,
    MDBModalFooter,
    MDBBtn,
  } from 'mdb-vue-ui-kit';
  import { ref } from 'vue';

  const staticBackdrop = ref(false);
</script>

Scrolling long content

When modals become too long for the user’s viewport or device, they scroll independent of the page itself. Try the demo below to see what we mean.

You can also create a scrollable modal that allows scroll the modal body by adding scrollable property to MDBModal. 

<template>
  <MDBBtn
    color="primary"
    aria-controls="exampleModalLongTitle"
    @click="exampleModalLong = true"
  >
    Launch demo modal
  </MDBBtn>
  <MDBModal
    class="modal fade"
    id="exampleModalLong"
    tabindex="-1"
    labelledby="exampleModalLongTitle"
    v-model="exampleModalLong"
  >
    <MDBModalHeader>
      <MDBModalTitle id="exampleModalLongTitle"> Modal title </MDBModalTitle>
    </MDBModalHeader>
    <MDBModalBody> ... long body </MDBModalBody>
    <MDBModalFooter>
      <MDBBtn color="secondary" @click="exampleModalLong = false"> Close </MDBBtn>
      <MDBBtn color="primary"> Save changes </MDBBtn>
    </MDBModalFooter>
  </MDBModal>
  <MDBBtn
    color="primary"
    aria-controls="exampleModalScrollableTitle"
    @click="exampleModalScrollable = true"
  >
    Launch demo modal
  </MDBBtn>
  <MDBModal
    id="exampleModalScrollable"
    tabindex="-1"
    labelledby="exampleModalScrollableTitle"
    v-model="exampleModalScrollable"
    scrollable
  >
    <MDBModalHeader>
      <MDBModalTitle id="exampleModalScrollableTitle"> Modal title </MDBModalTitle>
    </MDBModalHeader>
    <MDBModalBody> ... long content </MDBModalBody>
    <MDBModalFooter>
      <MDBBtn color="secondary" @click="exampleModalScrollable = false"> Close </MDBBtn>
      <MDBBtn color="primary"> Save changes </MDBBtn>
    </MDBModalFooter>
  </MDBModal>
</template>
<script>
  import {
    MDBModal,
    MDBModalHeader,
    MDBModalTitle,
    MDBModalBody,
    MDBModalFooter,
    MDBBtn,
  } from 'mdb-vue-ui-kit';
  import { ref } from 'vue';
  export default {
    components: {
      MDBModal,
      MDBModalHeader,
      MDBModalTitle,
      MDBModalBody,
      MDBModalFooter,
      MDBBtn,
    },
    setup() {
      const exampleModalLong = ref(false);
      const exampleModalScrollable = ref(false);
      return {
        exampleModalScrollable,
        exampleModalLong,
      };
    },
  };
</script>
<script setup lang="ts">
  import {
    MDBModal,
    MDBModalHeader,
    MDBModalTitle,
    MDBModalBody,
    MDBModalFooter,
    MDBBtn,
  } from 'mdb-vue-ui-kit';
  import { ref } from 'vue';

  const exampleModalLong = ref(false);
  const exampleModalScrollable = ref(false);
</script>

Vertically centered

Add centered to MDBModal to vertically center the modal.

<template>
  <MDBBtn
    color="primary"
    aria-controls="exampleModalCenter"
    @click="exampleModalCenter = true"
  >
    Vertically centered modal
  </MDBBtn>
  <MDBModal
    id="exampleModalCenter"
    tabindex="-1"
    labelledby="exampleModalCenterTitle"
    v-model="exampleModalCenter"
    centered
  >
    <MDBModalHeader>
      <MDBModalTitle id="exampleModalCenterTitle"> Modal title </MDBModalTitle>
    </MDBModalHeader>
    <MDBModalBody>
      <p>
        Cras mattis consectetur purus sit amet fermentum. Cras justo odio, dapibus ac
        facilisis in, egestas eget quam. Morbi leo risus, porta ac consectetur ac,
        vestibulum at eros.
      </p>
    </MDBModalBody>
    <MDBModalFooter>
      <MDBBtn color="secondary" @click="exampleModalCenter = false"> Close </MDBBtn>
      <MDBBtn color="primary"> Save changes </MDBBtn>
    </MDBModalFooter>
  </MDBModal>
  <MDBBtn
    color="primary"
    aria-controls="exampleModalCenteredScrollable"
    @click="exampleModalCenteredScrollable = true"
  >
    Vertically centered scrollable modal
  </MDBBtn>
  <MDBModal
    id="exampleModalCenteredScrollable"
    tabindex="-1"
    labelledby="exampleModalCenteredScrollableTitle"
    v-model="exampleModalCenteredScrollable"
    centered
    scrollable
  >
    <MDBModalHeader>
      <MDBModalTitle id="exampleModalCenteredScrollableTitle">
        Modal title
      </MDBModalTitle>
    </MDBModalHeader>
    <MDBModalBody> ... long content </MDBModalBody>
    <MDBModalFooter>
      <MDBBtn color="secondary" @click="exampleModalCenteredScrollable = false">
        Close
      </MDBBtn>
      <MDBBtn color="primary"> Save changes </MDBBtn>
    </MDBModalFooter>
  </MDBModal>
</template>
<script>
  import {
    MDBModal,
    MDBModalHeader,
    MDBModalTitle,
    MDBModalBody,
    MDBModalFooter,
    MDBBtn,
  } from 'mdb-vue-ui-kit';
  import { ref } from 'vue';
  export default {
    components: {
      MDBModal,
      MDBModalHeader,
      MDBModalTitle,
      MDBModalBody,
      MDBModalFooter,
      MDBBtn,
    },
    setup() {
      const exampleModalCenteredScrollable = ref(false);
      return {
        exampleModalCenteredScrollable,
      };
    },
  };
</script>
<script setup lang="ts">
  import {
    MDBModal,
    MDBModalHeader,

    MDBModalFooter,
    MDBBtn,
  } from 'mdb-vue-ui-kit';
  import { ref } from 'vue';

  const exampleModalCenteredScrollable = ref(false);
</script>

Tooltips and popovers

Tooltips and popovers can be placed within modals as needed. You can add function on hide event to manually close any opened popover or tooltip when closing modal. 

<template>
  <MDBBtn
    color="primary"
    aria-controls="exampleModalPopovers"
    @click="exampleModalPopovers = true"
  >
    Launch demo modal
  </MDBBtn>
  <MDBModal

    tabindex="-1"
    labelledby="exampleModalPopoversLabel"
    v-model="exampleModalPopovers"
    @hide="
      () => {
        popover1 = false;
        tooltip1 = false;
      }
    "
  >
    <MDBModalHeader>
      <MDBModalTitle id="exampleModalPopoversLabel"> Modal title </MDBModalTitle>
    </MDBModalHeader>
    <MDBModalBody>

          </template>
          <template #header>Popover title</template>
          <template #body>Popover body content is set in this attribute.</template>

Using the grid

Utilize the Bootstrap grid system within a modal by nesting MDBContainer fluid{ within the MDBModalBody{. Then, use the normal grid system properties/classes as you would anywhere else. 

<template>
  <MDBBtn color="primary" aria-controls="gridSystemModal" @click="gridSystemModal = true">
    Launch demo modal
  </MDBBtn>
  <MDBModal
    id="gridSystemModal"
    tabindex="-1"
    labelledby="gridModalLabel"

Varying modal content

Have a bunch of buttons that all trigger the same modal with slightly different contents? Use Vue refs to vary the contents of the modal depending on which button was clicked.

Below is a live demo followed by example Vue template and script.

<template>
  <MDBBtn
    color="primary"
    aria-controls="varyingExampleModal"
    @click="
      () => {
        modalContent = '@mdo';
        varyingExampleModal = true;
      }
    "
  >
    Open modal for @mdo
  </MDBBtn>
  <MDBBtn
    color="primary"
    aria-controls="varyingExampleModal"
    @click="
      () => {
        modalContent = '@fat';
        varyingExampleModal = true;
      }
    "
  >
    Open modal for @fat
  </MDBBtn>
  <MDBBtn
    color="primary"
    aria-controls="varyingExampleModal"
    @click="
      () => {
        modalContent = '@getbootstrap';
        varyingExampleModal = true;
      }
    "
  >
    Open modal for @getbootstrap
  </MDBBtn>
  <MDBModal
    id="varyingExampleModal"
    tabindex="-1"
    labelledby="varyingExampleModalLabel"
    v-model="varyingExampleModal"
  >
    <MDBModalHeader>
      <MDBModalTitle id="varyingExampleModalLabel"> New message </MDBModalTitle>
    </MDBModalHeader>
    <MDBModalBody>
      <form>
        <div class="mb-3">
          <label for="recipient-name" class="col-form-label">Recipient: </label>
          <input
            type="text"
            class="form-control"
            id="recipient-name"
            :value="modalContent"
          />
        </div>
        <div class="mb-3">
          <label for="message-text" class="col-form-label">Message:</label>
          <textarea class="form-control" id="message-text"></textarea>

      <MDBBtn color="secondary" @click="varyingExampleModal = false"> Close </MDBBtn>
      <MDBBtn color="primary"> Send message </MDBBtn>
    </MDBModalFooter>
  </MDBModal>
</template>
<script>
  import { MDBModal, MDBModalHeader, MDBModalTitle, MDBModalBody, MDBModalFooter, MDBBtn } from "mdb-vue-ui-kit";
  import { ref } from 'vue';
  export default {
    components: {
      MDBModal,
      MDBModalHeader,
      MDBModalTitle,
      MDBModalBody,
      MDBModalFooter,
      MDBBtn
    },
    setup() {
      const varyingExampleModal = ref(false);
      const modalContent = ref('');
      return {
        varyingExampleModal,
        modalContent,
      }
    }
  };
</script>
<script setup lang="ts">
  import { MDBModal, MDBModalHeader, MDBModalTitle, MDBModalBody, MDBModalFooter, MDBBtn } from "mdb-vue-ui-kit";
  import { ref } from 'vue';

  const varyingExampleModal = ref(false);
  const modalContent = ref('');
</script>

Toggle between modals

Toggle between multiple modals with some clever placement of the data-mdb-target and data-mdb-toggle attributes. For example, you could toggle a password reset modal from within an already open sign in modal. Please note multiple modals cannot be open at the same time—this method simply toggles between two separate modals.

Below is a live demo followed by example HTML and JavaScript. For more information, read the modal API/events doc for details on relatedTarget.

Change animation

The $modal-fade-transform variable determines the transform state of modal dialog content before the modal fade-in animation, the $modal-show-transform variable determines the transform of .modal-dialog at the end of the modal fade-in animation.

If you want for example a zoom-in animation, you can set $modal-fade-transform: scale(.8).

Remove animation

For modals that simply appear rather than fade in to view, add the :animation="false" property to your modal markup. 

<template>
  <MDBModal tabindex="-1" labelledby="..." v-model="..." :animation="false" />
</template>

Button with icon

<template>
  <!-- Button trigger modal -->
  <MDBBtn
    color="primary"
    aria-controls="exampleModalButtonWithIcon"
    @click="exampleModalButtonWithIcon = true"
    rounded
    ><i class="fab fa-airbnb fa-lg"></i
  ></MDBBtn>

  <MDBModal
    id="exampleModal"
    v-model="exampleModalButtonWithIcon"
    tabindex="-1"

        >Close</MDBBtn
      >
      <MDBBtn color="primary">Save changes</MDBBtn>
    </MDBModalFooter>
  </MDBModal>
</template>
<script>
  import {
    MDBModal,
    MDBModalHeader,
    MDBModalTitle,
    MDBModalBody,
    MDBModalFooter,
    MDBBtn,
  } from 'mdb-vue-ui-kit';
  import { ref } from 'vue';

  export default {
    components: {
      MDBModal,
      MDBModalHeader,
      MDBModalTitle,
      MDBModalBody,
      MDBModalFooter,
      MDBBtn,
    },
    setup() {
      const exampleModalButtonWithIcon = ref(false);

      return {
        exampleModalButtonWithIcon,
      };
    },
  };
</script>
<script setup lang="ts">
  import {
    MDBModal,
    MDBModalHeader,
    MDBModalTitle,
    MDBModalBody,
    MDBModalFooter,
    MDBBtn,
  } from 'mdb-vue-ui-kit';
  import { ref } from 'vue';

  const exampleModalButtonWithIcon = ref(false);
</script>

Accessibility

Be sure to add labelledby="...">, referencing the modal title, to MDBModal>. Additionally, you may give a description of your modal dialog with aria-describedby> on MDBModal>. Note that you don’t need to add role="dialog"> since we already add it inside component.

Embedding YouTube videos

Embedding YouTube videos in modals requires additional JavaScript not in Bootstrap to automatically stop playback and more. See this helpful Stack Overflow post for more information.

Optional sizes

Modals have three optional sizes, available via modifier properties to be placed on a MDBModal. These sizes kick in at certain breakpoints to avoid horizontal scrollbars on narrower viewports.

Size Property Modal max-width
Small size="sm" 300px
Default None 500px
Large size="lg" 800px
Extra large size="xl" 1140px 
<template>
  <MDBModal size="xl">...</MDBModal>
  <MDBModal size="lg">...</MDBModal>
  <MDBModal size="sm">...</MDBModal>
</template>

Fullscreen Modal

Another override is the option to pop up a modal that covers the user viewport, available via fullscreen properties that are placed on a MDBModal.

Class Availability
fullscreen Always
fullscreen="sm-down" Below 576px
fullscreen="md-down" Below 768px
fullscreen="lg-down" Below 992px
fullscreen="xl-down" Below 1200px
fullscreen="xxl-down" Below 1400px 
<!-- Full screen modal -->
<template>
  <MDBModal fullscreen>...</MDBModal>
  <MDBModal fullscreen="sm-down">...</MDBModal>
  <MDBModal fullscreen="md-down">...</MDBModal>
  <MDBModal fullscreen="lg-down">...</MDBModal>
  <MDBModal fullscreen="xl-down">...</MDBModal>
  <MDBModal fullscreen="xxl-down">...</MDBModal>
</template>

Non-Invasive Modal

This type of modal does not block any interaction on the page. Simply add property nonInvasive to MDBModal. 

<!-- Non-invasive modal -->
<template>
  <MDBModal nonInvasive>...</MDBModal>
</template>

Events

Bootstrap’s modal class exposes a few events for hooking into modal functionality. All modal events are fired at the modal itself (i.e. at the <div class="modal">).

Event type Description
show This event fires immediately when the modal has been called to show.
shown This event is fired when the modal has been made visible to the user (will wait for CSS transitions to complete).
hide This event is fired immediately when the modal has been called to hide.
hidden This event is fired when the modal has finished being hidden from the user (will wait for CSS transitions to complete). 
<template>
  <MDBModal v-model="exampleModal" @show="doSomething">...</MDBModal>
</template>

CSS variables

As part of MDB’s evolving CSS variables approach, modal now use local CSS variables on .modal for enhanced real-time customization. Values for the CSS variables are set via Sass, so Sass customization is still supported, too.

Modal's CSS variables are in different classes which belong to this component. To make it easier to use them, you can find below all of the used CSS variables.
