If true
, the portal will check if it is within a parent portal
and append itself to the parent's portal node.
This provides nesting for portals.
If false
, the portal will always append to `document.body`
regardless of nesting. It is used to opt out of portal nesting.
Portal
Renders a component outside the current DOM hierarchy.
Import#
import { Portal } from '@chakra-ui/react'
Usage#
Portal is used to transport any component or element to the end of
document.body
and renders a React tree into it.
Useful for rendering a natural React element hierarchy with a different DOM hierarchy to prevent parent styles from clipping or hiding content (for popovers, dropdowns, and modals). It supports nested portals
Using a custom container#
You can render the contents within a portal to a different DOM node, instead of
the default document.body
. Pass the containerRef
prop and set its value to
the ref
of the container you'd like to use.
Nesting Portals#
You can also nest multiple portals within themselves, this will create a nested DOM hierarchy to make it easy to create nested modals, popovers, etc.
Opting out of portal nesting#
In some cases, you might not want portal nodes to be nested to their parent
portals. To opt out of this, pass appendToParentPortal
and set it to false
Props#
appendToParentPortal
appendToParentPortal
boolean
true
containerRef
containerRef
The ref
to the component where the portal will be attached to.
