Modals are windows used for displaying prompts and subtasks without losing context of the parent application.
This component requires Javascript
Modals are composed of several parts. To render a modal, include a modal backdrop, modal header, modal body, and modal footer (optional). By default modals are positioned on top of the page.
Modal content
<div class="m-backdrop">
<div class="m-backdrop__wrapper">
<section class="a-modal" role="dialog" aria-label="Modal description" aria-modal="true">
<header class="a-modal__header">
<h2 class="a-modal__title">Modal Title</h2>
<button class="a-btn -icon -close" aria-label="Close">
<div class="a-btn__content">
<i class="a-icon icon-x"></i>
</div>
</button>
</header>
<div class="a-modal__content">
<p class="-text -m--0">Modal content</p>
</div>
<footer class="a-modal__footer">
<button class="a-btn">Cancel</button>
<button class="a-btn -primary -ml--2">Save</button>
</footer>
</section>
</div>
</div>
Modals can also be placed in the middle of the page by applying the class -center in the m-backdrop.

Enable scrolling if the height of the modal's content is larger than the modal's content container.
A max-height must be defined on a-modal__content.
Use max-height utility classes such as -mh--400 or -mh--480, or define your own value.
