Jquery/bootstrap modal on top of specific angular 5 component

Question

I am using bootstrap modal in my angular 5 project to open modals. But the way I am doing it right now is making the modal open up on top of the whole screen which I don't want to happen.

here is my angular layout code.

<div class="wrapper">
    <div class="sidebar" data-active-color="white" data-background-color="black" data-image="../assets/img/sidebar-1.jpg">
        <!-- <div class="sidebar" data-color="red" data-image=""> -->
        <sidebar-cmp></sidebar-cmp>
        <div class="sidebar-background" style="background-image: url(assets/img/sidebar-1.jpg)"></div>
    </div>
    <div class="main-panel">
        <navbar-cmp></navbar-cmp>
        <router-outlet></router-outlet>
        <div *ngIf="!isMap()">
            <footer-cmp></footer-cmp>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

as you can see there is the sidebar component and the router-outlet , the modal is present in the router-outlet component but it is still displayed on top of the sidebar component. both components are shown side by side.

this is how I show the modal in my typescript file :

@ViewChild('DetailModal') detailRef: ElementRef;

$(this.detailRef.nativeElement);
$(this.detailRef.nativeElement).modal("show");

the modal content is in the definition of the component :

<div>
   <!-- The definition of the Component that gets in the router-outlet-->

<div class=" container modal fade" #DetailModal>
    <app-detail-modal [Cert]="DCert"></app-detail-modal>
</div>

</div>

how can I make the modal only show on top of the component it is in ?

Answer 1

You can position the actual modal inside your container with css by making your container position relative, and the modal container position absolute

#my-modal-container {
  height:300px;
  width: 600px;
  border: 4px solid green;
  position: relative;
}

.modal {
  position: absolute;
}

You can then hide the bootstrap overlay and replace it with an inline one.

// Hide the default backdrop
.modal-backdrop {
   display: none;
}

// Make another backdrop with styles copied from the jQuery one, and
// place it alongside your modal component
body.modal-open .inline-modal-backdrop {
    position: absolute;
    opacity: 0.5;
    top: 0;
    right: 0;
    bottom: 0;
    left: 0;
    z-index: 1040;
    background-color: #000;
}

Then you can wrap all this up in an angular component that contains the bs modal container and your new inline backdrop

<div class="modal"><ng-content></ng-content></div>
<div class="inline-modal-backdrop"></div>
