Topic: Press "ESC" in an 'mdb-modal' does not close the modal.
I have an application with a simple modal that I started with one of the standard example templates:
<template>
<div>
<mdb-btn color="primary" @click.native="modal = true">Launch demo modal</mdb-btn>
<mdb-modal :show="modal" @close="modal = false">
<mdb-modal-header>
<mdb-modal-title>Modal title</mdb-modal-title>
</mdb-modal-header>
<mdb-modal-body>...</mdb-modal-body>
<mdb-modal-footer>
<mdb-btn color="secondary" @click.native="modal = false">Close</mdb-btn>
<mdb-btn color="primary">Save changes</mdb-btn>
</mdb-modal-footer>
</mdb-modal>
</div>
</template>
In your demo when I launch that modal I can hit "ESC" and the modal closes. When I have that same code in my application pressing "ESC" does nothing. Also, in troubleshooting, I notice that in the demo code the modal header renders out to:
<div class="modal-header">
<h5 class="modal-title" id="exampleModalLabel">Modal title</h5>
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close">
<span aria-hidden="true">×</span>
</button>
</div>
where the "X" on the top right renders to a <button> tag. But in my code AND in the modal source, the header renders the "X" as an <a> tag.
My Code from above template:
<div data-v-13d1e037="" class="text-center modal-header">
<h5 class="w-100 modal-title font-weight-bold" data-v-13d1e037="">
Modal title
</h5>
<a data-v-13d1e037="" flat="" class="close">×</a>
</div>
Which matches the template code (in node_modules\mdbvue\src\components\Modals\ModalHeader.vue)
as I would expect, but NOT what I'm seeing in the source of the demo module.
<template>
<component :is="tag" :class="className">
<slot></slot>
<a v-if="close" flat class="close" @click.prevent="away">×</a>
</component>
</template>
I realize that without my full webpack build process it's probably impossible to figure out my mistake, but any suggestions on where I might have gone wrong to get such a simple component to not look/work like yours would be great! (I'm using the mdbvue-6.7.1.tgz file in my build)
Thanks
Ok, I did find that by editing the mdb-modal component itself I can effect the change I want:
<template>
<transition name="fade"
@enter="enter"
@after-enter="afterEnter"
@before-leave="beforeLeave"
@after-leave="afterLeave"
>
<component :is="tag" v-if="show" :class="wrapperClass"
---> tabindex="0" v-on:keyup.esc="away" <---
>
<div :class="dialogClass" role="document" >
<div :class="contentClass" :style="computedContentStyle">
<slot></slot>
</div>
</div>
</component>
</transition>
</template>

Did you try to add native modifier to mdb-modal component?
Then it will be: v-on:keyup.esc.native="modal = false".

Haven't tried that. But will see if it makes a difference. One thing I have noticed is that even with my change, I must first focus on something within the modal (such as an input field or button) to allow the "esc" to close the modal.

You're right. The easiest way will be to add this event to the wrapper. Best regards

Unfortunately it's a bug on our side. The
esckeyboard access will be added soon. Best regardsMikołaj Smoleński staff commented 4 years ago
On the other hand, adding such functionality is possible even now. Adding to mdb-modal a keyup event (i.e.
v-on:keyup.esc="modal = false") should fix the issue. Please let us know if it works. Best regardsMike Barlow free commented 4 years ago
Thanks Mikolaj, unfortunately it doesn't look like adding an
on:keyupevent to the mdb-modal works. If I put anon:keyuphandler in an input field it works fine, but it doesn't seem like the mdb-modal looks for keyup events (even tried adding it to the<a>tag in the header with no luck. For some reason the contents of the mdb-modal-header doesn't seem to be in the flow, even with a tabindex="0".
