Lightweight Modal Window With Vanilla JavaScript And CSS/CSS3 – js-modal

Just another vanilla JavaScript library for showing an animated responsive modal window on the webpage.  Modal open/close animations based on CSS3 transitions and transforms. It allows to load any html blocks within the document into the modal window.

How to use it:

Load the style sheet modal.css and JavaScript modal.js in the html document.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/modal.css">
<script src="js/modal.js"></script>

The basic html structure for the modal window.

<div class="modal modal--scale-up" id="modal">
  <div class="modal__window">
    <button class="modal__close-btn" type="button" data-close-modal>
      <svg class="modal__close-icon">
        <use xlink:href="#icon-close"></use>
      </svg>
    </button>
     <div class="modal__header">
        <h2 class="modal__title">Modal Title</h2>
      </div>
      <div class="modal__content">
        <p>Modal Content</p>
        <button class="btn" type="button" data-close-modal>Close Modal</button>
      </div>
  </div>
</div>

Create a button to launch the modal window.

<button class="btn" type="button" data-trigger-modal="modal">Trigger modal</button>

Insert a SVG based close icon to the modal window.

<div class="svgs" style="display: none;">
  <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
    <symbol id="icon-close" viewBox="0 0 16.196 16.197">
      <title>Close</title>
