Build a Reusable Modal Component with Vue 3 Slots
Create a highly flexible and reusable modal component in Vue 3 using named and scoped slots, allowing dynamic content injection for headers, bodies, and footers.

<template>
<div v-if="isOpen" class="modal-overlay" @click.self="closeModal">
<div class="modal-container">

import { defineProps, defineEmits } from 'vue';
const props = defineProps({
isOpen: {
type: Boolean,
default: false
}
});
const emit = defineEmits(['close']);
const closeModal = () => {
emit('close');
};

<!-- App.vue (Usage Example) -->
<template>
<div>
<button @click="isModalOpen = true">Open Custom Modal</button>
<BaseModal :is-open="isModalOpen" @close="isModalOpen = false">
<template #header>
<h2>My Custom Modal Title</h2>
</template>
<template #body>
<p>This is the custom body content for my modal. It can contain any HTML.</p>
<input type="text" placeholder="Enter something" />
</template>
<template #footer="{ close }">
<button @click="handleConfirm">Confirm</button>
<button @click="close">Cancel</button>
</template>
</BaseModal>
</div>
</template>
<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue';
import BaseModal from './components/BaseModal.vue';
const isModalOpen = ref(false);
const handleConfirm = () => {
alert('Confirmed!');

How it works: This snippet creates a versatile `BaseModal` component using Vue 3's slot system. It utilizes named slots (`#header`, `#body`, `#footer`) to allow consumers to inject custom content into different sections of the modal, with default fallback content provided. A scoped slot in the footer (`#footer="{ close }"`) demonstrates how to pass data or methods (like `closeModal`) back to the consuming component, making the component highly flexible and reusable.
