- [`UserClickedOutOfMainModal`](https://github.com/empathyco/x/blob/main/packages/x-components/src/wiring/events.types.ts)

## See it in action

Here you have a basic example of how the main modal works.

```vue live
<template>
  <div>
    <OpenMainModal>Open X</OpenMainModal>
    <MainModal>
      <CloseMainModal>Close X</CloseMainModal>
    </MainModal>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
  import { MainModal, CloseMainModal, OpenMainModal } from '@empathyco/x-components';

  export default {
    name: 'MainModalDemo',
    components: {
      MainModal,
      CloseMainModal,
      OpenMainModal
    }
  };
</script>
```

### Customizing the content with classes

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

```vue live
<template>
  <div>
    <OpenMainModal>Open X</OpenMainModal>
    <MainModal contentClass="x-bg-neutral-75">
      <CloseMainModal>Close X</CloseMainModal>
    </MainModal>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
  import { MainModal, CloseMainModal, OpenMainModal } from '@empathyco/x-components';

  export default {
    name: 'MainModalDemo',
    components: {
      MainModal,
      CloseMainModal,
      OpenMainModal
    }
  };
</script>
```

### Customizing the modal events

The modal events can be customized by changing its props values:

- To add or subtract events to open or close the modal,
- To modify or remove the default
  [`UserClickedOutOfMainModal`](https://github.com/empathyco/x/blob/main/packages/x-components/src/wiring/events.types.ts)
  that the modal emits.

In this example, we are changing the `openEvents` prop to add another event, and removing the event
that the modal would emit when the user clicks out of the modal.

```vue live
<template>
  <div>
    <OpenMainModal>Open X</OpenMainModal>
    <MainModal
      :openEvents="['UserClickedOpenX', 'UserOpenXProgrammatically', 'MyCustomXEvent']"
      :outOfModalClickEvent="null"
    >
      <CloseMainModal>Close X</CloseMainModal>
    </MainModal>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
  import { MainModal, CloseMainModal, OpenMainModal } from '@empathyco/x-components';

  export default {
    name: 'MainModalDemo',
    components: {
      MainModal,
      CloseMainModal,
      OpenMainModal
    }
  };
</script>
```
