A Magento 2 module that adds a reusable modal component that can be configured using layout XML arguments.

Note: this module was created as an example to support the talk 'Level up your layout' presented at Mage Titans MCR 2018, but is based on a real world implementation.

• Utilises Magento's Modal jQuery widget
• Facilitates creation of modal components via layout XML which can be configured by passing arguments
• Configuration options include: link text, modal title, modal type and more. Click here a full list of arguments
• Content for modals must be passed in as one or more child blocks using layout XML

To create a modal component you need to create a block using Fisheye\Modal\Block\Modal as the class and Fisheye_Modal::modal.phtml as the template. Pass in the required and optional arguments from arguments.csv and a child block that contains your content.

An example below shows adding a a block to the product page (note: this would need to be in a layout file with the handle catalog_product_view.xml) under the add to wishlist and compare links etc.

The required linkText value as well as a modalTitle for the modal to display once opened are passed in via arguments and a CMS block is added as a child block for the modal's content.

<referenceContainer name="product.info.main">
    <block class="Fisheye\Modal\Block\Modal"
           name="my.modal"
           template="Fisheye_Modal::modal.phtml"
           after="product.info.extrahint">
        <arguments>
            <argument name="linkText" translate="true" xsi:type="string">My link text to trigger modal</argument>
            <argument name="modalTitle" translate="true" xsi:type="string">My modal title</argument>
        </arguments>
        <block class="Magento\Cms\Block\Block"
               name="my.modal.content">
            <arguments>
                <argument name="block_id" xsi:type="string">my_cms_block_id</argument>
            </arguments>
        </block>
    </block>
</referenceContainer>
