Props of the Modal component are also available.
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| open* | bool | - | If true, the component is shown. |
| action | ref | - | A ref for imperative actions. It currently only supports updatePosition() action. |
| anchorEl | HTML element | func | - | An HTML element, PopoverVirtualElement, or a function that returns either. It’s used to set the position of the popover. |
| anchorOrigin | { horizontal: ‘center’ | ‘left’ | ‘right’ | number, vertical: ‘bottom’ | ‘center’ | ‘top’ | number } | { vertical: ‘top’, horizontal: ‘left’ } | This is the point on the anchor where the popover’s anchorEl will attach to. This is not used when the anchorReference is ‘anchorPosition’. Options: vertical: [top, center, bottom]; horizontal: [left, center, right]. |
| anchorPosition | { left: number, top: number } | - | This is the position that may be used to set the position of the popover. The coordinates are relative to the application’s client area. |
| anchorReference | ‘anchorEl’ | ‘anchorPosition’ | ‘none’ | ‘anchorEl’ | This determines which anchor prop to refer to when setting the position of the popover. |
| BackdropComponent | elementType | styled(Backdrop, …) | A backdrop component. This prop enables custom backdrop rendering. |
| BackdropProps | object | - | Props applied to the Backdrop element. |

| classes | object | - | Override or extend the styles applied to the component. See CSS classes API below for more details. |
| container | HTML element | func | - | An HTML element, component instance, or function that returns either. The container will passed to the Modal component. By default, it uses the body of the anchorEl’s top-level document object, so it’s simply document.body most of the time. |

| elevation | integer | 8 | The elevation of the popover. |
| marginThreshold | number | 16 | Specifies how close to the edge of the window the popover can appear. If null, the popover will not be constrained by the window. |
| onClose | func | - | Callback fired when the component requests to be closed. The reason parameter can optionally be used to control the response to onClose. |
| PaperProps | { component?: element type } | {} | Props applied to the Paper element. This prop is an alias for slotProps.paper and will be overriden by it if both are used. |
| slotProps | { paper?: func | object, root?: func | object } | {} | The props used for each slot inside. |
| slots | { paper?: elementType, root?: elementType } | {} | The components used for each slot inside. |
| sx | Array<func | object | bool> | func | object | - | The system prop that allows defining system overrides as well as additional CSS styles. See the sx page for more details. |
| transformOrigin | { horizontal: ‘center’ | ‘left’ | ‘right’ | number, vertical: ‘bottom’ | ‘center’ | ‘top’ | number } | { vertical: ‘top’, horizontal: ‘left’ } | This is the point on the popover which will attach to the anchor’s origin. Options: vertical: [top, center, bottom, x(px)]; horizontal: [left, center, right, x(px)]. |
