ngx-smart-modal is a lightweight and very complete Angular library for managing modals inside any Angular project.
To avoid having to download a CSS library when using this package, simply use our built-in SCSS/CSS file with custom animations and overloadable variables. So you don't have to use a CSS library you don't want! What's more, it doesn't use jQuery either!
Because we want to be as neutral as we can, we made it very flexible for you to style it with any CSS framework. So if your project uses a framework which is shipped with some modal styles, you simply have to pick up its class names and set the main class in the [customClass]="'modal'" (e.g.: bootstrap). And the rest of the modal DOM elements has just to be set into the ngx-smart-modal component (e.g.: modal-dialog
, modal-content
, modal-header
, etc.).
Basically, imagine that the component is based on a service that stores any modals you create in order to let you pick them up and manage them anywhere in your app at any time.

npm i ngx-smart-modal --save
If your project uses a version of Angular lower than 14 (or non-Ivy), use version <=7.4.1
. Otherwise, use the latest version >=14.x
.
Add NgxSmartModalModule (with .forRoot() or .forChild() depending if the module which you import the library into is the main module of your project or a nested module) and NgxSmartModalService to your project NgModule
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppRoutingModule } from './app-routing.module';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { NgxSmartModalModule } from 'ngx-smart-modal';
@NgModule({
declarations: [
AppComponent
],
imports: [
BrowserModule,
AppRoutingModule,
NgxSmartModalModule.forRoot()
],
providers: [
],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }
And import ngx-smart-modal.scss or ngx-smart-modal.css in a global style file (e.g. styles.scss or styles.css in classic Angular projects or any other scss/css file it imports). Example with styles.scss:
/* You can add global styles to this file, and also import other style files */
@import "~ngx-smart-modal/styles/ngx-smart-modal"
You can use modals directly in your component's template like this:
<ngx-smart-modal #myModal identifier="myModal">
<h1>Title</h1>
<p>Some stuff...</p>
<button (click)="myModal.close()">Close</button>
</ngx-smart-modal>
At this point, the modal instance is stored in the NgxSmartModalService. You can do absolutely what you want with it, anywhere in your app. For example, from a component :
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { NgxSmartModalService } from 'ngx-smart-modal';
@Component({
// ...
})
export class AppComponent {
constructor(public ngxSmartModalService: NgxSmartModalService) {
}
}
Then in the AppComponent view you can open any modal with no need to be in the same view:
<button (click)="ngxSmartModalService.getModal('myModal').open()">Open myModal</button>
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { MyComponent } from 'xxxx';
import { NgxSmartModalService } from 'ngx-smart-modal';
@Component({
// ...
})
export class AppComponent {
// If Angular < 8
// @ViewChild(TemplateRef) tpl: TemplateRef<any>;
// If Angular >= 8
@ViewChild(TemplateRef, { static: false }) tpl: TemplateRef<any>;
constructor(private ngxSmartModalService: NgxSmartModalService, private vcr: ViewContainerRef) {
// simple text content
this.ngxSmartModalService.create('myModal1', 'content', vcr).open();
// component
this.ngxSmartModalService.create('myModal2', MyComponent, vcr).open();
// or templateRef
this.ngxSmartModalService.create('myModal3', this.tpl, vcr).open();
}
}
You can associate data with any created modal. To do that, use the setModalData() from the NgxSmartModalService
:
import { AfterViewInit, Component } from '@angular/core';
import { NgxSmartModalService } from 'ngx-smart-modal';
@Component({
// ...
})
export class AppComponent implements AfterViewInit {
constructor(public ngxSmartModalService: NgxSmartModalService) {
}
ngAfterViewInit() {
const obj: Object = {
prop1: 'test',
prop2: true,
prop3: [{a: 'a', b: 'b'}, {c: 'c', d: 'd'}],
prop4: 327652175423
};
this.ngxSmartModalService.setModalData(obj, 'myModal');
}
}
After that, you can retrieve the modal data directly from the view with the getData() modal property. To avoid any errors with unavailable data, you can use the hasData() modal property (It's dynamic. If data comes after a certain time its value will automatically change to true):
<ngx-smart-modal #myModal identifier="myModal">
<div *ngIf="myModal.hasData()">
<pre>{{ myModal.getData() | json }}</pre>
</div>
<button (click)="myModal.close()">Close</button>
</ngx-smart-modal>
ngx-smart-modal
comes with several built-in events:
onOpen
: modal is openingonOpenFinished
: modal has been openedonClose
: modal is closingonCloseFinished
: modal has been closedonDismiss
: modal is closing by clicking on its backdroponDismissFinished
: modal has been closed by clicking on its backdroponEscape
: modal has been closed by escape keyonAnyCloseEvent
: modal is closing whatever the kind of event (close / escape / dismiss)onAnyCloseEventFinished
: modal has been closed whatever the kind of event (close / escape / dismiss)visibleChange
: modal visibility has changed (regardless of the modal visibility state)onDataAdded
: data were added to the modal (using setData()
)onDataRemoved
data were removed from the modal (using removeData()
)You can handle events directly from the view...
<ngx-smart-modal #myModal identifier="myModal" (onOpen)="log('Modal opened!')" (onClose)="log('Modal closed!')" (onDismiss)="log('Modal dismissed!')">
<h1>Title</h1>
<p>Some stuff...</p>
<button (click)="myModal.close()">Close</button>
</ngx-smart-modal>
...and execute component's functions:
@Component({
// ...
})
export class AppComponent {
constructor() {
}
public log(msg: string) {
console.log(msg);
}
}
Or you can declare modal in any template (e.g.: the Rickroll demo modal)...
<ngx-smart-modal #videoModal identifier="videoModal" customClass="medium-modal">
<h1>Hey, I Rickrolled You!</h1>
<iframe #rickroll width="1280" height="720"
src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dQw4w9WgXcQ?rel=0&autoplay=1&controls=0&showinfo=0&ecver=1&enablejsapi=1"
frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
<button class="button -dark" (click)="videoModal.close()">Close</button>
</ngx-smart-modal>
... and listen to its events from any component:
export class AppComponent implements AfterViewInit {
// ...
constructor(public ngxSmartModalService: NgxSmartModalService) {
}
ngAfterViewInit() {
this.ngxSmartModalService.getModal('videoModal').onOpen.subscribe((modal: NgxSmartModalComponent) => {
console.log('Rickroll modal opened!', modal);
});
}
}
INgxSmartModalOptions
)ngx-smart-modal
comes with some parameters / options in order to make it fit your needs. The following parameters / options needs to be used like this: <ngx-smart-modal [parameter-or-option-name]="value"></ngx-smart-modal>
The below documentation will use the following pattern:
parameter/option name
(type) | default value | required? ― description
closable
(boolean) | true
― Show / hide the cross icon at the top right corner of the modal
escapable
(boolean) | true
― Enable / disable the modal for listening to the escape keypress event (if pressed and this option is set to true, it will close the current opened modal or the latest opened if you have several modals opened at the same time)
dismissable
(boolean) | true
― Enable / disable the modal backdrop for listening to the click event (if backdrop is clicked and this option is set to true, it will close the current opened modal or the latest opened if you have several modals opened at the same time)
identifier
(string) | undefined
| REQUIRED ― The identifiant of the modal instance. Retrieve a modal easily by its identifier
force
(boolean) | true ― If true and if you declare another modal instance with the same identifier that another, the service will override it by the new you declare in the modal stack
customClass
(string) | 'nsm-dialog-animation-fade'
― All the additionnal classes you want to add to the modal (e.g.: any bootstrap modal class). You can add several classes by giving a string with space-separated class names
backdrop
(boolean) | true
― Enable / disable the backdrop of a modal. Tip: when you want to encapsulate several modals, set this options at true for the parent modal and false for the others
hideDelay
(number) | 500
― Opening / closing class delay in milliseconds
autostart
(boolean) | false
― Define if the modal is showing up automatically when loaded or not
target
(string) | undefined
― Displays the modal relatively to the targeted element
ngx-smart-modal
also comes with the NgxSmartModalService
that you can use in any component like this:
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { NgxSmartModalService } from 'ngx-smart-modal';
@Component({
// ...
})
export class AppComponent {
constructor(public ngxSmartModalService: NgxSmartModalService) {
}
}
List of available methods:

provides built-in SCSS variables that you can override easily like it (assuming you imported ngx-smart-modal.scss
as explained above):
/* You can add global styles to this file, and also import other style files */
/* NgxSmartModal variables override */
$color-overlay: rgba(0, 0, 0, .7);
$dialog-position-top: 20%;
@import "~ngx-smart-modal/ngx-smart-modal";
// ...
Note that variables needs to be overridden before @import
!
The below documentation will use the following pattern:
parameter/option name
(type) | default value | description
$color-overlay
(hex / rgb / rgba) | rgba(0, 0, 0, .5)
― Modifies the modals overlay background color
$dialog-position-top
(px / %) | 1.75rem
― Defines the position of the modal from the top of the screen
$dialog-position-right
(px / %) | 1.75rem
― Defines the position of the modal from the right of the screen
$dialog-position-bottom
(px / %) | 1.75rem
― Defines the position of the modal from the bottom of the screen
$dialog-position-left
(px / %) | 1.75rem
― Defines the position of the modal from the left of the screen
$transition-duration
(duration) | 500ms
― Defines the transition effect duration. Keep in mind you also need to set the same time (in ms) in the hideDelay
modal option (see below)
$transition-timing-function
(transition-timing-function Property) | ease-in-out
― _Specifies the speed curve of the transition effect (available speed curves here)_
ngx-smart-modal
can understand several built-in classes to open differently with a sexy effect:
To change this effect, you can use the customClass
option (see below) but you also can define your own class names with dedicated effect and pass them to customClass
!
.nsm-dialog-animation-fade
: default modal effect with a simple fade effect.nsm-dialog-animation-ltr
: the modal comes with a left-to-right effect.nsm-dialog-animation-rtl
: the modal comes with a right-to-left effect.nsm-dialog-animation-ttb
: the modal comes with a top-to-bottom effect.nsm-dialog-animation-btt
: the modal comes with a bottom-to-top effect.nsm-centered
: the modal is centered verticallyMany thanks to our awesome contributors! ♥️ Still not on the list? Let's contribute!
