Fylgja - AlpineJS Dialog

Bring the power of AlpineJs to the HTML dialog.

See it in action here https://alpinejs-dialog.netlify.app/

Installation

You can use this plugin by either installing it using NPM or including it from a CDN.

Via NPM

You can install it from NPM and include it in your bundle:

npm install @fylgja/alpinejs-dialog

import Alpine from 'alpinejs';
import dialog from '@fylgja/alpinejs-dialog';

window.Alpine = Alpine;

Alpine.plugin(dialog);
Alpine.start();

Via CDN

You can include the CDN version of this plugin as a <script> tag, just make sure to include it before AlpineJs.

<script defer src="https://unpkg.com/@fylgja/alpinejs-dialog/dist/index.min.js"></script>
<script defer src="https://unpkg.com/alpinejs@3.x.x/dist/cdn.min.js"></script>

How to use

To use this, create an Alpine component for example, like;

<div x-data="{ open: false }">
    <button @click="open = !open">Open</button>
    <dialog x-show="open" x-htmldialog="open = false">..</dialog>
</div>

When adding the x-htmldialog to an x-show element, it will not toggle the display, but instead use the native el.showModal() function.

The value inside the x-htmldialog is not required, but is recommended to close the dialog using the escape key or clicking the backdrop.

Modifiers

Scroll-lock

To lock the page scroll add the modifier noscroll;

<div x-data="{ open: false }">
    <button @click="open = !open">Open</button>
    <dialog x-show="open" x-htmldialog.noscroll="open = false">..</dialog>
</div>

This will now prevent any scrolling on the page.
