> Struggling with modals, lightboxes or loading bars in React? React-portal creates a new top-level React tree and injects its children into it. That's necessary for proper styling (especially positioning).
*Looking for v3 documentation? Go [here](READMEv3.MD).*
## Features
- **uses React v16 and its official API for creating portals**
- **has a fallback for React v15**
- transports its children into a new React Portal which is appended by default to **document.body**
- can target user specified DOM element
- supports server-side rendering
- supports returning arrays (no wrapper divs needed)
- `<Portal />` and `<PortalWithState />` so there is no compromise between flexibility and convenience
- doesn't produce any DOM mess
- provides **close on ESC** and **close on outside mouse click** out of the box
- **no dependencies**, minimalistic
## Installation
```shell
yarn add react react-dom react-portal
```
## Usage
### Portal
```jsx
import { Portal } from 'react-portal';
<Portal>
This text is portaled at the end of document.body!
</Portal>
<Portal node={document && document.getElementById('san-francisco')}>
This text is portaled into San Francisco!
</Portal>
```
That's it! Do you want to toggle portal? It's a plain React component, so you can simply do:
```jsx
{isOpen && <Portal>Sometimes portaled?</Portal>}
```
**This gives you absolute flexibility and control** and I would recommend you to use it as a basic building block for your components like modals or notifications. **This code also works with server-side rendering**. If you think about just using official `ReactDOM.createPortal()`, you would have to check for existence of DOM environment.
React-portal used to come packed with some extra goodies because sometimes **you are ok with giving up some flexibility for convenience**. For that case, V4 introduces another component that handles its own state for you:
### PortalWithState
```jsx
import { PortalWithState } from 'react-portal';
<PortalWithState closeOnOutsideClick closeOnEsc>
{({ openPortal, closePortal, isOpen, portal }) => (
<React.Fragment>
<button onClick={openPortal}>
Open Portal
</button>
{portal(
<p>
This is more advanced Portal. It handles its own state.{' '}
<button onClick={closePortal}>Close me!</button>, hit ESC or
click outside of me.
</p>
)}
</React.Fragment>
)}
</PortalWithState>
```
Don't let this example intimidate you! `PortalWithState` **expects one child, a function**. This function gets a few parameters (mostly functions) and returns a React component.
### There are 4 optional parameters:
- **openPortal** - function that you can call to open the portal
- **closePortal** - function that you can call to close the portal
- **portal** - the part of component that should be portaled needs to be wrapped by this function
- **isOpen** - boolean, tells you if portal is open/closed
### `<PortalWithState />` accepts this optional props:
- **node** - same as `<Portal>`, you can target a custom DOM element
- **closeOnOutsideClick** - boolean, portal closes when you click outside of it
- **closeOnEsc** - boolean, portal closes when the ESC key is hit
- **defaultOpen** - boolean, the starting state of portal is being open
- **onOpen** - function, will get triggered after portal is open
- **onClose** - function, will get triggered after portal is closed
Also notice, that **the example returns a [Fragment](https://reactjs.org/docs/fragments.html) since React 16.2 supports it**! You can also return:
- an array - available from React v16, remember to add `key` attribute
- regular component - the example would be wrapped by a div, not a fragment
If you start running into limits of `<PortalWithState />` (complex animations), you probably want to use `<Portal />` instead and build a component tailored to your specific taste.
