This PR adds a custom Modal component so that Squoosh can communicate better with users (snackbars are SO last year).

While the snackbar popup will convey small and concise messages to users, the Modal can be used for displaying verbose information like:

  1. INFO mode - Explaining codecs and their parameters
  2. UPDATE mode - Informing users about new features
  3. ERROR mode - Expanding error messages on mobile, where users can't view the console error messages

It's keyboard accessible, has pre-formatted styles for different HTML elements, is responsive across the board and can be easily accessed by other components/elements.

I've tested the feature on the following devices:

  • Safari - iOS / Mac
  • Chrome - iOS / Android / Windows
  • Firefox - Android / Windows

DEMO

In the right-side options under the quality slider, click on any of the modal checkboxes. If you're using a keyboard, focus will be restored to that checkbox once the modal is closed.


Unnecessary PR Lore: This is complementary to PR #1366 where Surma rightly pointed out that the HTML hover title is inaccessible to mobile users. I initially planned to put small one-line descriptions for each codec param in the title attribute, then later add modal support with more detailed descriptions. But I figure if those one-liners will be overwritten anyway, might as well do them soon.

Great work! This is gonna be a super useful primitive to have in Squoosh going forward.

Have a couple of remarks, and a bigger rework request/idea around the <dialog> element. LMK what you think!

I didn't do a full review, as I think this will change pretty significantly when it moves to use <dialog>, which will hopefully reduce the complexity.

Overall pretty good! Spacing works, sizes work, but the colors were a bit off the rails, so I've made a few suggestions to bring it back into the theme.

A couple other notes!

  • I agree with others that dialog is a good choice here, it'll save a bunch of maintenance burden (like trying to trap focus, etc) and I dont think a majority of the users are on iOS making these transformations
  • The labels should probably also be keyboard focusable. It's a bit strange that focus is "restored" but not really to where I came from, rather the nearest checkbox to where I came from. Also not sure how to invoke this from keyboard, tho it's clear how to dismiss it.

Cool idea here. Hope this review is helpful!

@argyleink That's a wayyy better design, thank you for the review!

And yep, my plan is to give an optional prop to the Range / Checkbox / etc components that turns their labels into modal-activating keyboard-navigable buttons. So far this was just a test to see if focus can be returned to the calling checkbox, which it can.

Working on a refactor using the <dialog> element as we speak 👍

  • Placed the Modal component directory in lazy-app instead of in Compress
  • Refactored using the <dialog> element
  • Used the improved design by @argyleink
  • Switched to using VNodes for modal content and icon
  • Switched from using Context/Provider to shared functions

Caveats:

  • Still uses Context/Provider to share showModal(). Can't use props like with showSnack because deeply nested children should be able to access it. Gonna try @surma 's suggestion of a single global showModal() function that can use the modal as soon as it's mounted.
  • The CSS for fading the modal in and out is a bit ugly, but I couldn't find an easier way considering the dialog element's nuances.

This looks really good!

Some minor nits, and of course you should remove the dummy checkboxes and content before merging, but otherwise LGTM! 🎉

This is heading in the right direction, but I think trying to make the modal a singleton is unnecessary.

One of the benefits of <dialog> is that it doesn't need to be placed out-of-context in the top of the DOM, as it pops into the top-layer when it opens. It feels like the implementation will become simpler if we lean into that ("use the platform" etc etc).

So, the usage of this component would be:

<Modal shown={bool} icon={iconJSX} title="Hello!">
  Modal content goes here.
</Modal>

We'd have many of those in our JSX, in context.

And when shown changes, the component handles the animated show and hide.

I guess at some point we'd also have a tooltip component that outputs an icon and a modal, and causes the modal to show when the icon is clicked.

Thinking about the helper component:

<ModalHelpIcon title="Hello!">
  Modal content goes here.
</ModalHelpIcon>

So the above would output a ℹ️ icon (or whatever), and a <Modal />. When the icon is clicked, it shows the modal, by toggling the shown prop passed to <Modal />.

That means we can just add <ModalHelpIcon /> where we want to details codecs etc, and that component takes care of the show/hide state.

Added a ModalHint component that contains a Modal within itself and shows it when activated. Went with a subtle green accent color so that hints like in the image below stand out. @argyleink, would love your thoughts on this!

fun additions!

I've got a 2 overall comments 🙂

  1. replace the green with var(--blue) (maybe) or var(--less-light-gray) (prolly), like you've used in the dialog header here. info icons shouldn't try and steal attention, unless hovered, you can spice them up then.

  2. there's alignment issues, here's some screenshots

Where did the icons come from? Do we have the rights to use them?

I think it makes more sense for the content of the modal to be the child of <ModalHint>, and the 'label' to be a prop. The label could probably just be a string too.

Hmm I suppose that makes more sense. My thought process was we can just wrap existing text nodes (like for the custom input elements) in the ModalHint and get the modal functionality without much refactoring - but in hindsight that's a cop-out.

It works both ways, and in this case it isn't clear-cut which thing is naturally the "children". But "content" sounds like just another name for "children", whereas the actual child is the label. That, and I usually lean towards having the larger, more tree-like content as the child.

But yeah, it isn't clear-cut.

@argyleink @kosamari @surma UX question: Right now the whole label becomes an activator for the modal (see "Auto sample chroma" in the preview). My hunch is that only the icon should activate the modal, and the rest of the label should remain as an activator for the checkbox. Can I get a second opinion?

I think we decided that the content of the model should be the children of the modal?

I think it's ok to assume dialogElement is there, since this component never presents a state where it isn't. Other instances of this can be skipped too.

Confirm, label clicks are typically activators for an associated checkbox, plus this is also how Squoosh works today, using labels as activators.

I agree with Jake, the icon should isolate the interaction to learn more from a modal, both because users expect labels to activate checkboxes on the web, but also because that's the UX that users currently expect from the label interactions.

Same goes for the nested link in the mozJPEG quality modal, a link should be a link and a button to invoke a modal should be a button to invoke a modal.

Button was a good element choice to wrap the icon, as this keeps it in keyboard tab flow 👍🏻
