interface ModalOptions {
  resource?: string | null;
  onClose?: (payload?: any) => any;
  size?: 'small' | 'medium' | 'large' | 'xlarge';
  context?: any;
}

class Modal {
  constructor(opts?: ModalOptions);
  open(): Promise<void>;
}

Arguments

• resource: The key of the static resource to open in the modal dialog. If not provided, resource defaults current resource.
• onClose: A callback function to run when the modal dialog is closed. The function accepts an optional payload that is passed when calling view.close(payload) from inside the modal resource.
• size: The size of the modal dialog.
• context: Custom context that can be added to the context in the modal resource. It will appear under the modal key in the context object returned from view.getContext().

Example

Implementing a custom UI modal requires two files:

1. the index.js file in your app logic
2. the resource file you defined in the manifest file, which is the my-modal-resource.js file in the example below
