Shadcn Dialog

Our Shadcn Dialog components provide accessible modal windows with smooth animations. Choose from slide (top, bottom, left, right) and zoom (in, out) variants - each with a clean, minimal layout ready for real use cases like confirmations, forms, and notifications.

For ready-to-use dialog layouts and patterns, see our Dialog blocks.

What is a Shadcn Dialog?

A dialog is a modal overlay that appears above the page content and asks the user to take an action or view important information before continuing.

Unlike tooltips or popovers, a dialog blocks interaction with the rest of the page until it is dismissed. This makes it ideal for:

• Confirming destructive actions like delete or logout
• Collecting quick user input like email or a search term
• Showing important alerts or notifications
• Displaying user profile details or summaries
• Announcing new features or product updates

Animation Variants

Each dialog variant uses a different entry and exit animation, applied by overriding the default Tailwind animation classes via className on DialogContent.

• Slide from Top : slides down into view, ideal for notifications
• Slide from Bottom : rises up into view, ideal for confirmations
• Slide from Left : sweeps in from the left, ideal for forms
• Slide from Right : sweeps in from the right, ideal for detail panels
• Zoom In : scales up from a small point, ideal for success states
• Zoom Out : shrinks into place from a larger scale, ideal for announcements
