Dialog (Modal)
A window overlaid on the primary window, rendering the content underneath inert.
Demo
Basic Dialog
A simple modal dialog with title, description, and close functionality.
Without Description
A dialog with only a title and content.
Accessibility Features
WAI-ARIA Roles
| Role | Target Element | Description |
|---|---|---|
dialog | Dialog container | Indicates the element is a dialog window |
WAI-ARIA Properties
aria-modal
Indicates this is a modal dialog
- Values
- true
- Required
- Yes
aria-labelledby
References the dialog title
- Values
- ID reference to title element
- Required
- Yes
aria-describedby
References optional description text
- Values
- ID reference to description
- Required
- No
Keyboard Support
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| Tab | Move focus to next focusable element within dialog. When focus is on the last element, moves to first. |
| Shift + Tab | Move focus to previous focusable element within dialog. When focus is on the first element, moves to last. |
| Escape | Close the dialog and return focus to trigger element |
- The dialog title is required for accessibility and should clearly describe the purpose of the dialog
- Page scrolling is disabled while the dialog is open
- Clicking the overlay (background) closes the dialog by default
- The close button has an accessible label for screen readers
Focus Management
| Event | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Dialog opens | Focus moves to first focusable element inside the dialog |
| Dialog closes | Focus returns to the element that triggered the dialog |
| Focus trap | Tab/Shift+Tab cycles through focusable elements within the dialog only |
| Background | Content outside dialog is made inert (not focusable or interactive) |
Implementation Notes
Structure:
+-------------------------------------+
| Dialog Title [X] | <- aria-labelledby target
+-------------------------------------+
| |
| Dialog content... | <- aria-describedby target (optional)
| |
| [Cancel] [Confirm] | <- focusable elements
+-------------------------------------+
Focus Trap:
- First focusable -> ... -> Last focusable -> First focusable (loop)
- Store trigger element reference before opening
- Restore focus to trigger on close

Testing
Tests verify APG compliance across keyboard interaction, ARIA attributes, and accessibility requirements. The Dialog component uses a two-layer testing strategy.
Testing Strategy
Unit Tests (Testing Library)
Verify the component's rendered output using framework-specific testing libraries. These tests ensure correct HTML structure and ARIA attributes.
- ARIA attributes (aria-labelledby, aria-describedby)
- Escape key closes dialog
- Focus management on open/close
- Accessibility via jest-axe
E2E Tests (Playwright)
Verify component behavior in a real browser environment across all frameworks. These tests cover interactions and cross-framework consistency.
- Modal behavior (showModal, backdrop)
- Focus trap verification
- Focus restoration on close
- Overlay click to close
- ARIA structure validation in live browser
- axe-core accessibility scanning
- Cross-framework consistency checks
Test Categories
High Priority: APG Keyboard Interaction ( Unit + E2E )
| Test | Description |
|---|---|
Escape key | Closes the dialog |
High Priority: APG ARIA Attributes ( Unit + E2E )
| Test | Description |
|---|---|
role="dialog" | Dialog element has dialog role |
aria-modal="true" | Indicates modal behavior |
aria-labelledby | References the dialog title |
aria-describedby | References description (when provided) |
High Priority: Focus Management ( Unit + E2E )
| Test | Description |
|---|---|
Initial focus | Focus moves to first focusable element on open |
Focus restore | Focus returns to trigger on close |
Focus trap | Tab cycling stays within dialog (via native dialog) |
Medium Priority: Accessibility ( Unit + E2E )
| Test | Description |
|---|---|
axe violations | No WCAG 2.1 AA violations (via jest-axe) |
Low Priority: Props & Behavior ( Unit )
| Test | Description |
|---|---|
closeOnOverlayClick | Controls overlay click behavior |
defaultOpen | Initial open state |
onOpenChange | Callback fires on open/close |
className | Custom classes are applied |

/**
* E2E Tests for Dialog (Modal) Pattern
*
* A window overlaid on the primary content, requiring user interaction.
* Modal dialogs trap focus and prevent interaction with content outside.
*
* Key differences from Alert Dialog:
* - role="dialog" (not "alertdialog")
* - Escape key closes the dialog
* - Has close button (×)
* - aria-describedby is optional
* - Initial focus on close button or first focusable element
