Dialog

Dialog is a container to display content in an overlay window.


import Dialog from 'primevue/dialog';

Dialog is used as a container and visibility is controlled with a binding to visible property.


<Button label="Show" @click="visible = true" />

<Dialog v-model:visible="visible" modal header="Edit Profile" :style="{ width: '25rem' }">
    <span class="text-surface-500 dark:text-surface-400 block mb-8">Update your information.</span>
    <div class="flex items-center gap-4 mb-4">
        <label for="username" class="font-semibold w-24">Username</label>
        <InputText id="username" class="flex-auto" autocomplete="off" />
    </div>
    <div class="flex items-center gap-4 mb-8">
        <label for="email" class="font-semibold w-24">Email</label>
        <InputText id="email" class="flex-auto" autocomplete="off" />
    </div>
    <div class="flex justify-end gap-2">
        <Button type="button" label="Cancel" severity="secondary" @click="visible = false"></Button>
        <Button type="button" label="Save" @click="visible = false"></Button>
    </div>
</Dialog>

Header and Footer sections allow customization via templating.


<Button label="Show" @click="visible = true" />

<Dialog v-model:visible="visible" modal header="Edit Profile" :style="{ width: '25rem' }">
    <template #header>
        <div class="inline-flex items-center justify-center gap-2">
            <Avatar image="https://primefaces.org/cdn/primevue/images/avatar/amyelsner.png" shape="circle" />
            <span class="font-bold whitespace-nowrap">Amy Elsner</span>
        </div>
    </template>
    <span class="text-surface-500 dark:text-surface-400 block mb-8">Update your information.</span>
    <div class="flex items-center gap-4 mb-4">
        <label for="username" class="font-semibold w-24">Username</label>
        <InputText id="username" class="flex-auto" autocomplete="off" />
    </div>
    <div class="flex items-center gap-4 mb-2">
        <label for="email" class="font-semibold w-24">Email</label>
        <InputText id="email" class="flex-auto" autocomplete="off" />
    </div>
    <template #footer>
        <Button label="Cancel" text severity="secondary" @click="visible = false" autofocus />
        <Button label="Save" outlined severity="secondary" @click="visible = false" autofocus />
    </template>
</Dialog>

The position property defines the location of relative to the screen.


<div class="flex flex-wrap justify-center gap-2 mb-2">
    <Button label="Left" icon="pi pi-arrow-right" @click="openPosition('left')" severity="secondary" style="min-width: 10rem" />
    <Button label="Right" icon="pi pi-arrow-left" @click="openPosition('right')" severity="secondary" style="min-width: 10rem" />
</div>
<div class="flex flex-wrap justify-center gap-2 mb-2">
    <Button label="TopLeft" icon="pi pi-arrow-down-right" @click="openPosition('topleft')" severity="secondary" style="min-width: 10rem" />
    <Button label="Top" icon="pi pi-arrow-down" @click="openPosition('top')" severity="secondary" style="min-width: 10rem" />
    <Button label="TopRight" icon="pi pi-arrow-down-left" @click="openPosition('topright')" severity="secondary" style="min-width: 10rem" />
</div>
<div class="flex flex-wrap justify-center gap-2">
    <Button label="BottomLeft" icon="pi pi-arrow-up-right" @click="openPosition('bottomleft')" severity="secondary" style="min-width: 10rem" />
    <Button label="Bottom" icon="pi pi-arrow-up" @click="openPosition('bottom')" severity="secondary" style="min-width: 10rem" />
    <Button label="BottomRight" icon="pi pi-arrow-up-left" @click="openPosition('bottomright')" severity="secondary" style="min-width: 10rem" />
</div>

<Dialog v-model:visible="visible" header="Edit Profile" :style="{ width: '25rem' }" :position="position" :modal="true" :draggable="false">
    <span class="text-surface-500 dark:text-surface-400 block mb-8">Update your information.</span>
    <div class="flex items-center gap-4 mb-4">
        <label for="username" class="font-semibold w-24">Username</label>
        <InputText id="username" class="flex-auto" autocomplete="off" />
    </div>
    <div class="flex items-center gap-4 mb-8">
        <label for="email" class="font-semibold w-24">Email</label>
        <InputText id="email" class="flex-auto" autocomplete="off" />
    </div>
    <div class="flex justify-end gap-2">
        <Button type="button" label="Cancel" severity="secondary" @click="visible = false"></Button>
        <Button type="button" label="Save" @click="visible = false"></Button>
    </div>
</Dialog>

Adding maximizable property enables the full screen mode.


<Button label="Show" @click="visible = true" />

<Dialog v-model:visible="visible" maximizable modal header="Header" :style="{ width: '50rem' }" :breakpoints="{ '1199px': '75vw', '575px': '90vw' }">
    <p class="m-0">

    </p>
</Dialog>

When content exceeds viewport, Dialog automatically becomes scrollable.


<Button label="Show" @click="visible = true" />

Mask layer behind the Dialog is configured with the modal property. By default, no modal layer is added.


<Button label="Show" @click="visible = true" />

<Dialog v-model:visible="visible" header="Edit Profile" :style="{ width: '25rem' }">
    <span class="text-surface-500 dark:text-surface-400 block mb-8">Update your information.</span>
    <div class="flex items-center gap-4 mb-4">
        <label for="username" class="font-semibold w-24">Username</label>
        <InputText id="username" class="flex-auto" autocomplete="off" />
    </div>
    <div class="flex items-center gap-4 mb-8">
        <label for="email" class="font-semibold w-24">Email</label>
        <InputText id="email" class="flex-auto" autocomplete="off" />
    </div>
    <div class="flex justify-end gap-2">
        <Button type="button" label="Cancel" severity="secondary" @click="visible = false"></Button>
        <Button type="button" label="Save" @click="visible = false"></Button>
    </div>
</Dialog>

Dialog width can be adjusted per screen size with the breakpoints option where the max-width for the breakpoint and the width are defined as key-value pairs. When no breakpoint matches width defined in style or class is used. Alternatively responsive utility classes of libraries like Tailwind or PrimeFlex can also be used such as md:w-screen.


<Button label="Show" @click="visible = true" />

<Dialog v-model:visible="visible" modal header="Header" :style="{ width: '50vw' }" :breakpoints="{ '1199px': '75vw', '575px': '90vw' }">
    <p class="m-0">

        Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.
    </p>
</Dialog>

Headless mode is enabled by defining a container slot that lets you implement entire UI instead of the default elements.


<Button label="Login" icon="pi pi-user" @click="visible = true" />

<Dialog v-model:visible="visible" pt:root:class="!border-0 !bg-transparent" pt:mask:class="backdrop-blur-sm">

Screen Reader

Dialog component uses dialog role along with aria-labelledby referring to the header element however any attribute is passed to the root element so you may use aria-labelledby to override this default behavior. In addition aria-modal is added since focus is kept within the popup.

Trigger element also requires aria-expanded and aria-controls to be handled explicitly.

Close element is a button with an aria-label that refers to the aria.close property of the locale API by default, you may use closeButtonProps to customize the element and override the default aria-label.


<Button label="Show" icon="pi pi-external-link" @click="visible = true" :aria-controls="visible ? 'dlg' : null" :aria-expanded="visible ? true : false" />

<Dialog id="dlg" header="Header" v-model:visible="visible" :style="{ width: '50vw' }">
