## API documentation
The primary documentation for react-modal is the
[reference book](https://reactjs.github.io/react-modal), which describes the API
and gives examples of its usage.
## Examples
Here is a simple example of react-modal being used in an app with some custom
styles and focusable input elements within the modal content:
```jsx
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import Modal from 'react-modal';
const customStyles = {
content: {
top: '50%',
left: '50%',
right: 'auto',
bottom: 'auto',
marginRight: '-50%',
transform: 'translate(-50%, -50%)',
},
};
// Make sure to bind modal to your appElement (https://reactcommunity.org/react-modal/accessibility/)
Modal.setAppElement('#yourAppElement');
function App() {
let subtitle;
const [modalIsOpen, setIsOpen] = React.useState(false);
function openModal() {
setIsOpen(true);
}
function afterOpenModal() {
// references are now sync'd and can be accessed.
subtitle.style.color = '#f00';
}
function closeModal() {
setIsOpen(false);
}
return (
(subtitle = _subtitle)}>Hello
I am a modal
);
}
ReactDOM.render(, appElement);
```
You can find more examples in the `examples` directory, which you can run in a
local development server using `npm start` or `yarn run start`.
