Overlay + modal — Nakshora 1.0 Cookbook — Nakshora Docs — Cookbook · Nakshora Docs editorial library

Problem: Centered modal over dimmed page.

Solution#

html

<div class="fixed inset-0 z-50 grid place-items-center bg-black/50 p-4">
  <div class="w-full max-w-lg rounded-2xl bg-white p-6 shadow-2xl">modal</div>
</div>

Why this works#

fixed inset-0 covers the viewport; grid place-items-center centers the dialog.

Variants#

Responsive: add screen prefixes to the core classes
Dark: pair each color utility with its dark: twin
Animated: add transition + a state variant for motion
