Installation

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @bundui/dialog

Requires @bundui in the registries of your components.json (shadcn adds official directory namespaces automatically).

Usage

usage.tsx
import { Dialog, DialogContent, DialogTitle, DialogTrigger } from "@/components/ui/dialog";<Dialog>  <DialogTrigger>Open dialog</DialogTrigger>  <DialogContent>    <DialogTitle>Example dialog</DialogTitle>  </DialogContent></Dialog>
  • Editing a profile, settings, or other small form without leaving the current page.
  • Confirming destructive or irreversible actions.
  • Displaying focused information, details, or a short workflow.
  • Use AlertDialog instead when the user must explicitly acknowledge a critical alert before continuing.

Accessibility

  • Always provide a DialogTitle inside DialogContent so assistive technologies can identify the dialog.
  • Use DialogDescription for supporting context or instructions; it is associated with the dialog content by Radix UI.
  • Use DialogTrigger for the control that opens the dialog and DialogClose for explicit cancel or dismiss actions.
  • The component manages modal focus trapping, restores focus to the trigger when closed, and supports Escape-key dismissal through Radix UI.
  • Use visible labels associated with form controls through htmlFor and matching id values.
  • Do not use a dialog for large pages or long multi-step workflows when a dedicated page would provide better navigation and context.
