# BaseEventsModal

Component containing a modal that emits a XEventsTypes.UserClickedCloseEventsModal when clicking
outside the content rendered in the default slot and can receive, through the eventsToCloseModal
prop, a list of XEvent to listen to in order to close also the modal, eventsToOpenModal prop,
another list of XEvent to customize the events to listen to open the modal and a prop,
displayOverlay, to display an overlay over the rest of the html. The default slot offers the
possibility to customize the modal content.

## Events

A list of events that the component will emit:

- [`UserClickedCloseEventsModal`](https://github.com/empathyco/x/blob/main/packages/x-components/src/wiring/events.types.ts):
  the event is emitted after clicking outside the content rendered in the default slot.
- [`UserClickedOutOfEventsModal`](https://github.com/empathyco/x/blob/main/packages/x-components/src/wiring/events.types.ts):
  the event is emitted after clicking outside the modal.
- Custom events to open or close the modal.

## Examples

The `BaseEventsModal` component handles the modal open/close state via the events passed via props.
Its configured by default to work as a modal for a whole search application, but if the events are
changed, it can work as a modal that is opened/closed when the events it is listening are emitted.

### Basic usage

The component interacts with the open and close components, which are preconfigured by default to
emit the same events that the `BaseEventsModal` component is listening to:

```vue
<template>
  <div>
    <BaseEventsModalOpen>Open</BaseEventsModalOpen>
    <BaseEventsModal>
      <BaseEventsModalClose>Close</BaseEventsModalClose>
      <img src="success.png" />
    </BaseEventsModal>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
  import { BaseEventsModalOpen, BaseEventsModal } from '@empathyco/x-components';

  export default {
    name: 'ModalTest',
    components: {
      BaseEventsModalOpen,
      BaseEventsModal
    }
  };
</script>
```

### Customizing the events

If needed, the events to open/close the modal can be changed. The modal can listen one or more
events. To do so, the `eventsToCloseModal` and `eventsToOpenModal` props can be used. Below you can
see a full example on how this would work with custom events.

```vue
<template>
  <div>
    <BaseEventsModalOpen openingEvent="UserClickedOpenMyCustomModal">Open</BaseEventsModalOpen>
    <BaseEventsModal
      :eventsToCloseModal="eventsToCloseModal"
      :eventsToOpenModal="eventsToOpenModal"
    >
      <BaseEventsModalClose closingEvent="UserClickedCloseMyCustomModalFromHeader">
        Close from header
      </BaseEventsModalClose>
      <img src="success.png" />
      <BaseEventsModalClose closingEvent="UserClickedCloseMyCustomModalFromFooter">
        Close from footer
      </BaseEventsModalClose>
    </BaseEventsModal>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
  import {
    BaseEventsModalOpen,
    BaseEventsModal,
    BaseEventsModalClose
  } from '@empathyco/x-components';

  export default {
    name: 'ModalTest',
    components: {
      BaseEventsModalOpen,
      BaseEventsModal,
      BaseEventsModalClose
    }
  };
</script>
```

### Customizing the content with classes

The `contentClass` prop can be used to add classes to the modal content.

```vue
<template>
  <div>
    <BaseEventsModalOpen>Open</BaseEventsModalOpen>
    <BaseEventsModal contentClass="x-bg-neutral-75">
      <BaseEventsModalClose>Close</BaseEventsModalClose>
      <img src="success.png" />
    </BaseEventsModal>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
  import { BaseEventsModalOpen, BaseEventsModal } from '@empathyco/x-components';

  export default {
    name: 'ModalTest',
    components: {
      BaseEventsModalOpen,
      BaseEventsModal
    }
  };
</script>
```
