Ionic custom modal animation

Question

Ionic modal comes with the standard animation of slide-in-up. Is it possible that we can change the animation to fade-in?

Answer 1

In order to add custom transitions for Ionic Modal We will be using Ionic Modal Options enterAnimation and leaveAnimationfrom ModalOptions interface. For a modal there are transition states: On Enter of modal and and On Leave of modal when we close it. If you look at the Ionic Modal options interface you will find 2 options to add animations for both the states.

export interface ModalOptions {
    showBackdrop?: boolean;
    enableBackdropDismiss?: boolean;
    enterAnimation?: string;
    leaveAnimation?: string;
    cssClass?: string;
}

We will use these options in modal to specify transition class we create using Animation class from ionic-angular. So lets see how we can create and custom animations step by step.

Create 2 transition classes for enter and leave:

on-enter-translate.transition.ts

import { Animation, PageTransition } from 'ionic-angular';
export class ModalTranslateEnterTransition extends PageTransition {
    public init() {
        const ele = this.enteringView.pageRef().nativeElement;
        const wrapper = new Animation(this.plt, ele.querySelector('.modal-wrapper'));
        wrapper.beforeStyles({ 'transform': 'translateX(100%);', 'opacity': 1 });
        wrapper.fromTo('transform', 'translateX(100%)', 'translateX(0)');
        wrapper.fromTo('opacity', 1, 1);
        this
            .element(this.enteringView.pageRef())
            .duration(500)
            .easing('cubic-bezier(.1, .7, .1, 1)')
            .add(wrapper);
    }
}

on-leave-translate.transition.ts

import { Animation, PageTransition } from 'ionic-angular';

export class ModalTranslateLeaveTransition extends PageTransition {

    public init() {
        const ele = this.leavingView.pageRef().nativeElement;
        const wrapper = new Animation(this.plt, ele.querySelector('.modal-wrapper'));
        const contentWrapper = new Animation(this.plt, ele.querySelector('.wrapper'));

        wrapper.beforeStyles({ 'transform': 'translateX(100%)', 'opacity': 1 });
        wrapper.fromTo('transform', 'translateX(0)', 'translateX(100%)');
        wrapper.fromTo('opacity', 1, 1);
        contentWrapper.fromTo('opacity', 1, 0);

        this
            .element(this.leavingView.pageRef())
            .duration(500)
            .easing('cubic-bezier(.1, .7, .1, 1)')
            .add(contentWrapper)
            .add(wrapper);
    }
}

Then import those modules in app.module.ts

export class AppModule {
    constructor(public config: Config) {
        this.setCustomTransitions();
    }
    private setCustomTransitions() {
        this.config.setTransition('modal-translate-up-enter', ModalTranslateEnterTransition);
        this.config.setTransition('modal-translate-up-leave', ModalTranslateLeaveTransition);
    }
}

And create modal using following options:

var modal = this.modalCtrl.create(AddToCartModalPage, {
    productId: this.productId,
    skuId: this.skuId,
    zipcode: this.zipcode,
    sellerProfileId: this.sellerProfileId,
    branchId: this.branchId,
    changeSeller: this.changeSeller
}, {
    showBackdrop: false,
    enableBackdropDismiss: false,
    cssClass: 'add-to-cart-modal',
    enterAnimation: 'modal-translate-up-enter',
    leaveAnimation: 'modal-translate-up-leave'
});
