Dialog
Show a modal with configurable layout and accessible actions
Features
Comes with styling, yet completely customizable and themeable.
Accepts animations, themes, size props and more.
Accessible with dev-time checks to ensure ARIA props.
Dialog does not work on native, instead you can Adapt it to a Sheet as shown in the demo code above.
Installation
Dialog is already installed in tamagui
, or you can install it independently:
npm install @tamagui/dialog

Dialog.Description

Defaults to Paragraph, see Paragraph.
Dialog.Close
Closes the Dialog, accepts the same props as YStack. Recommended to use with your own component and asChild
.
Props
displayWhenAdapted
boolean
By default Close elements hide when Adapt is active. If set to true, they will show when adapted.
Just Tamagui Props.
Dialog.Sheet
When used with Adapt
, Dialog will render as a sheet when that breakpoint is active.
See Sheet for more props.
Must use Adapt.Contents
inside the Dialog.Sheet.Frame
to insert the contents given to Dialog.Content
import { Dialog } from 'tamagui' // or '@tamagui/dialog'export default () => (<Dialog><Dialog.Trigger /><Dialog.Portal><Dialog.Overlay /><Dialog.Content><Dialog.Title /><Dialog.Description /><Dialog.Close />{/* ... */}</Dialog.Content></Dialog.Portal>{/* optionally change to sheet when small screen */}<Dialog.Adapt when="sm"><Dialog.Sheet><Dialog.Sheet.Frame><Dialog.Adapt.Contents /></Dialog.Sheet.Frame><Dialog.Sheet.Overlay /></Dialog.Sheet></Dialog.Adapt></Dialog>)
Note that Dialog.Sheet currently doesn't preserve state of the contents when it transitions between Sheet and Portal. In the future, we can do this on the web using react-reparenting.
Examples
Inside native modals
If you're using native modals (maybe from react-navigation), you'll notice the Dialogs won't show up inside the modal. To get around this, you should wrap your screen inside PortalProvider
, like so:
import { PortalProvider } from 'tamagui'// this component used in react-navigation/expo-router with `presentation: "modal"`export function Page() {return (<PortalProvider>{/* rest of your page, including the Dialog... */}</PortalProvider>)}
