In this episode, we dive back into our example modal component and focus on how to close it programmatically—that is, not just when a user clicks a close button or hits escape. This is super handy for cases where, after some action in your modal (like submitting a form or completing a task), you want to close it right away in your code.
We review the ways we've already closed the modal before, such as hitting the escape key or clicking outside the modal, and then look at scenarios where closing the modal needs to happen as part of a function (for example, after executing some logic in a button handler).
You'll see how to import the useModal
composable from the momentum modal
package and grab the close
function it provides. We'll walk through updating a button so that it runs a doSomething
function, performs any task you want, and then calls close
to dismiss the modal programmatically. Super simple and super useful—this trick will come up a lot in real apps!
