# Dialog

A named native modal dialog with inert background and managed focus.

Connect Flood once using [the installation guide](https://flood.md/docs/installation). Then import the components you use; no per-component add command is needed.

## Example

```tsx
"use client";

import { FloodRoot, Dialog, Button } from "@flood-md/react";
import "@flood-md/react/styles.css";

export function Example() {
  return (
    <FloodRoot>
      <Dialog title="Create a project" trigger={trigger => <Button {...trigger}>Open dialog</Button>}>Project details.</Dialog>
    </FloodRoot>
  );
}
```

## Design notes

- Uses native showModal, not a simulated modal div.
- Escape closes the top layer; outside closing can be disabled independently. Tab remains inside the dialog.
- Closed content unmounts. Forward trigger props/ref; initialFocusRef can select a safe initial control. Modern native dialog support is required.
