  <Dialog.Backdrop />
  <Dialog.Positioner>
    <Dialog.Content>
      <Dialog.CloseTrigger />
      <Dialog.Header>
        <Dialog.Title />

```

## Examples

### Sizes

Use the `size` prop to change the size of the dialog component.

<ExampleTabs name="dialog-with-sizes" />

### Cover

Use the `size="cover"` prop to make the dialog component cover the entire screen
while revealing a small portion of the page behind.

<ExampleTabs name="dialog-with-cover" />

### Fullscreen

Use the `size="full"` prop to make the dialog component take up the entire
screen.

<ExampleTabs name="dialog-with-fullscreen" />

### Placement

Use the `placement` prop to change the placement of the dialog component.

<ExampleTabs name="dialog-with-placement" />

### Controlled

Use the `open` and `onOpenChange` prop to control the visibility of the dialog
component.

<ExampleTabs name="dialog-controlled" />

### Store

An alternative way to control the dialog is to use the `RootProvider` component
and the `useDialog` store hook.

This way you can access the dialog state and methods from outside the dialog.

<ExampleTabs name="dialog-with-store" />

### Context

Use the `DialogContext` component to access the dialog state and methods from
outside the dialog.

<ExampleTabs name="dialog-with-context" />

### Nested Dialogs

You can nest dialogs by using the `Dialog.Root` component inside another
`Dialog.Root` component.

<ExampleTabs name="dialog-nested" />

### Initial Focus

Use the `initialFocusEl` prop to set the initial focus of the dialog component.

<ExampleTabs name="dialog-with-initial-focus" />

### Inside Scroll

Use the `scrollBehavior=inside` prop to change the scroll behavior of the dialog
when its content overflows.

<ExampleTabs name="dialog-with-inside-scroll" />

### Outside Scroll

Use the `scrollBehavior=outside` prop to change the scroll behavior of the
dialog when its content overflows.

<ExampleTabs name="dialog-with-outside-scroll" />

### Motion Preset

Use the `motionPreset` prop to change the animation of the dialog component.

<ExampleTabs name="dialog-with-motion-preset" />

### Alert Dialog

Set the `role: "alertdialog"` prop to change the dialog component to an alert
dialog.

<ExampleTabs name="dialog-with-role" />

### Close Button Outside

Here's an example of how to customize the `Dialog.CloseTrigger` component to
position the close button outside the dialog component.

<ExampleTabs name="dialog-with-close-outside" />

### Non-Modal Dialog

We don't recommend using a non-modal dialog due to the accessibility concerns
they present. In event you need it, here's what you can do:

- set the `modal` prop to `false`
- set `pointerEvents` to `none` on the `Dialog.Positioner` component
- (optional)set the `closeOnInteractOutside` prop to `false`

<ExampleTabs name="dialog-non-modal" />

### DataList

Here's an example of how to compose the dialog component with the `DataList`
component.

<ExampleTabs name="dialog-with-datalist" />

## Props

### Root

<PropTable component="Dialog" part="Root" />
