Modals

Introduction

Nylo Website provides a modal system built around bottom sheet modals.

The BottomSheetModal class gives you a flexible API for displaying content overlays with actions, headers, close buttons, and custom styling.

Modals are useful for:

• Confirmation dialogs (e.g., logout, delete)
• Quick input forms
• Action sheets with multiple options
• Informational overlays

Creating a Modal

You can create a new modal using the Metro CLI:

metro make:bottom_sheet_modal payment_options

This generates two things:

1. A modal content widget at lib/resources/widgets/bottom_sheet_modals/modals/payment_options_modal.dart:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

/// Payment Options Modal
///
/// Used in BottomSheetModal.showPaymentOptions()
class PaymentOptionsModal extends StatelessWidget {
  const PaymentOptionsModal({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Column(
      children: [
        Text('PaymentOptionsModal').headingLarge(),
      ],
    );
  }
}

2. A static method added to your BottomSheetModal class in lib/resources/widgets/bottom_sheet_modals/bottom_sheet_modals.dart:

/// Show Payment Options modal
static Future<void> showPaymentOptions(BuildContext context) {
  return displayModal(
    context,
    isScrollControlled: false,
    child: const PaymentOptionsModal(),
  );
}

You can then display the modal from anywhere:

BottomSheetModal.showPaymentOptions(context);

If a modal with the same name already exists, use the --force flag to overwrite it:

metro make:bottom_sheet_modal payment_options --force

Basic Usage

Display a modal using BottomSheetModal:

BottomSheetModal.showLogout(context);

Creating a Modal

The recommended pattern is to create a BottomSheetModal class with static methods for each modal type. The boilerplate provides this structure:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:nylo_framework/nylo_framework.dart';

class BottomSheetModal extends NyBaseModal {
  static ModalShowFunction get displayModal => displayModal;

  /// Show Logout modal
  static Future<void> showLogout(
    BuildContext context, {
    Function()? onLogoutPressed,
    Function()? onCancelPressed,
  }) {
    return displayModal(
      context,
      isScrollControlled: false,
      child: const LogoutModal(),
      actionsRow: [
        Button.secondary(
          text: "Logout",
          onPressed: onLogoutPressed ?? () => routeToInitial(),
        ),
        Button(
          text: "Cancel",
          onPressed: onCancelPressed ?? () => Navigator.pop(context),
        ),
      ],
    );
  }
}

Call it from anywhere:

BottomSheetModal.showLogout(context);

// With custom callbacks
BottomSheetModal.showLogout(
  context,
  onLogoutPressed: () {
    // Custom logout logic
  },
  onCancelPressed: () {
    Navigator.pop(context);
  },
);

BottomSheetModal

displayModal<T>() is the core method for displaying modals.

Parameters

Actions

Actions are buttons displayed at the bottom of the modal.

Row actions are placed side by side, each taking equal space:

displayModal(
  context,
  child: Text("Are you sure?"),
  actionsRow: [
    ElevatedButton(
      onPressed: () => Navigator.pop(context, true),
      child: Text("Yes"),
    ),
    TextButton(
      onPressed: () => Navigator.pop(context, false),
      child: Text("No"),
    ),
  ],
);

Column actions are stacked vertically:

displayModal(
  context,
  child: Text("Choose an option"),
  actionsColumn: [
    ElevatedButton(
      onPressed: () => Navigator.pop(context, true),
      child: Text("Yes"),
    ),
    TextButton(
      onPressed: () => Navigator.pop(context, false),
      child: Text("No"),
    ),
  ],
);

Header

Add a header that sits above the main content:

displayModal(
  context,
  header: Container(
    padding: EdgeInsets.all(16),
    color: Colors.blue,
    child: Text(
      "Modal Title",
      style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white, fontSize: 18),
    ),
  ),
  child: Text("Modal content goes here"),
);

Close Button

Display a close button in the top-right corner:

displayModal(
  context,
  showCloseButton: true,
  closeButtonColor: Colors.grey.shade200,
  closeButtonIconColor: Colors.black,
  child: Padding(
    padding: EdgeInsets.all(24),
    child: Text("Content with close button"),
  ),
);

Custom Decoration

Customize the modal container's appearance:

displayModal(
  context,
  backgroundColor: Colors.transparent,
  modalDecoration: BoxDecoration(
    color: Colors.white,
    borderRadius: BorderRadius.vertical(top: Radius.circular(20)),
    boxShadow: [
      BoxShadow(color: Colors.black26, blurRadius: 10),
    ],
  ),
  handleColor: Colors.grey.shade400,
  child: Text("Custom styled modal"),
);

BottomModalSheetStyle

BottomModalSheetStyle configures the appearance of bottom sheet modals used by form pickers and other components:

BottomModalSheetStyle(
  backgroundColor: NyColor(light: Colors.white, dark: Colors.grey.shade900),
  barrierColor: NyColor(light: Colors.black54, dark: Colors.black87),
  useRootNavigator: false,
  titleStyle: TextStyle(fontSize: 18, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold),
  itemStyle: TextStyle(fontSize: 16),
  clearButtonStyle: TextStyle(color: Colors.red),
)

Examples

Confirmation Modal

static Future<bool?> showConfirm(
  BuildContext context, {
  required String message,
}) {
  return displayModal<bool>(
    context,
    child: Padding(
      padding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(vertical: 16),
      child: Text(message, textAlign: TextAlign.center),
    ),
    actionsRow: [
      ElevatedButton(
        onPressed: () => Navigator.pop(context, true),
        child: Text("Confirm"),
      ),
      TextButton(
        onPressed: () => Navigator.pop(context, false),
        child: Text("Cancel"),
      ),
    ],
  );
}

// Usage
bool? confirmed = await BottomSheetModal.showConfirm(
  context,
  message: "Delete this item?",
);
if (confirmed == true) {
  // delete the item
}

Scrollable Content Modal

displayModal(
  context,
  isScrollControlled: true,
  height: MediaQuery.of(context).size.height * 0.8,
  showCloseButton: true,
  header: Padding(
    padding: EdgeInsets.all(16),
    child: Text("Terms of Service", style: TextStyle(fontSize: 20)),
  ),
  child: SingleChildScrollView(
    child: Text(longTermsText),
  ),
);

Action Sheet

displayModal(
  context,
  showHandle: true,
  child: Text("Share via", style: TextStyle(fontSize: 18)),
  actionsColumn: [
    ListTile(
      leading: Icon(Icons.email),
      title: Text("Email"),
      onTap: () {
        Navigator.pop(context);
        shareViaEmail();
      },
    ),
    ListTile(
      leading: Icon(Icons.message),
      title: Text("Message"),
      onTap: () {
        Navigator.pop(context);
        shareViaMessage();
      },
    ),
    ListTile(
      leading: Icon(Icons.copy),
      title: Text("Copy Link"),
      onTap: () {
        Navigator.pop(context);
        copyLink();
      },
    ),
  ],
);
