Features

  • Comes with styling, yet completely customizable and themeable.

  • Accepts animations, themes, size props and more.

  • Accessible with dev-time checks to ensure ARIA props.

Dialog does not work on native, instead you can Adapt it to a Sheet as shown in the demo code above.

Installation

Dialog is already installed in tamagui, or you can install it independently:

yarn add @tamagui/dialog

In order to use this component independently of tamagui, you'll first need to install the @tamagui/portal package:

yarn add @tamagui/portal

Then add PortalProvider to the root of your app:

App.tsx

import { PortalProvider } from '@tamagui/portal'
import YourApp from './components/YourApp'
function App() {
return (
<PortalProvider shouldAddRootHost>
<YourApp />
</PortalProvider>
)
}
export default App

Anatomy

import { Dialog } from 'tamagui' // or '@tamagui/dialog'
export default () => (
<Dialog>
<Dialog.Trigger />
<Dialog.Portal>
<Dialog.Overlay />
<Dialog.Content>
<Dialog.Title />
<Dialog.Description />
<Dialog.Close />
{/* ... */}
</Dialog.Content>
</Dialog.Portal>
</Dialog>
)

API Reference

Dialog

Contains every component for the dialog. Beyond Tamagui Props, adds:

Props

  • children (required)

    React.ReactNode

    Must contain Dialog.Content

  • size

    SizeTokens

    Passes size down too all sub-components when set for padding, arrow, borderRadius

  • open

    boolean

  • defaultOpen

    boolean

  • onOpenChange

    (open: boolean) => void

  • modal

    boolean

    Default: 

    true

    Renders into root of app instead of inline

  • disableRemoveScroll

    boolean

    Used to disable the automatic removal of scrolling from the page when open.

  • Dialog.Trigger

    Just Tamagui Props.

    Dialog.Portal

    Renders Dialog into appropriate container. Beyond Tamagui Props, adds:

    Props

  • forceMount

    boolean

    Used to force mounting when more control is needed. Useful when controlling animation with React animation libraries.

  • unstyled

    boolean

    Removes all default Tamagui styles.

  • Dialog.Content

    Main container for Dialog content, this is where you should apply animations.

    Beyond Tamagui Props, adds:

    Props

  • forceMount

    boolean

    Used to force mounting when more control is needed. Useful when controlling animation with React animation libraries.

  • unstyled

    boolean

    Removes all default Tamagui styles.

  • Dialog.Overlay

    Displays behind Content. Beyond Tamagui Props, adds:

    Props

  • forceMount

    boolean

    Used to force mounting when more control is needed. Useful when controlling animation with React animation libraries.

  • Dialog.Title

    Required. Can wrap in VisuallyHidden to hide.

    Defaults to H2, see Headings.

    Dialog.Description

    Required. Can wrap in VisuallyHidden to hide.

    Defaults to Paragraph, see Paragraph.

    Dialog.Close

    Closes the Dialog, accepts the same props as YStack. Recommended to use with your own component and asChild.

    Props

  • displayWhenAdapted

    boolean

    By default Close elements hide when Adapt is active. If set to true, they will show when adapted.

  • Just Tamagui Props.

    Dialog.Sheet

    When used with Adapt, Dialog will render as a sheet when that breakpoint is active.

    See Sheet for more props.

    Must use Adapt.Contents inside the Dialog.Sheet.Frame to insert the contents given to Dialog.Content

    import { Dialog } from 'tamagui' // or '@tamagui/dialog'
    export default () => (
    <Dialog>
    <Dialog.Trigger />
    <Dialog.Portal>
    <Dialog.Overlay />
    <Dialog.Content>
    <Dialog.Title />
    <Dialog.Description />
    <Dialog.Close />
    {/* ... */}
    </Dialog.Content>
    </Dialog.Portal>
    {/* optionally change to sheet when small screen */}
    <Dialog.Adapt when="sm">
    <Dialog.Sheet>
    <Dialog.Sheet.Frame>
    <Dialog.Adapt.Contents />
    </Dialog.Sheet.Frame>
    <Dialog.Sheet.Overlay />
    </Dialog.Sheet>
    </Dialog.Adapt>
    </Dialog>
    )

    Note that Dialog.Sheet currently doesn't preserve state of the contents when it transitions between Sheet and Portal. In the future, we can do this on the web using react-reparenting.

    PortalProvider

    Props

  • shouldAddRootHost

    boolean

    Defines whether to add a default root host or not.

  • Examples

    Inside native modals

    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>
    )
    }
