Examples

If you're using native modals (maybe from react-navigation), you'll notice the Dialogs won't show up inside the modal. To get around this, you should wrap your screen inside PortalProvider, like so:

import { PortalProvider } from 'tamagui'

// this component used in react-navigation/expo-router with `presentation: "modal"`
export function Page() {
  return (
    <PortalProvider>
      {/* rest of your page, including the Dialog... */}
    </PortalProvider>
  )
}
