Is it Okay to use react modal in teams tab application?

ray2408 - Yes, it is okay to use a modal in a Teams tab application. You can create modal pop-ups in your Teams tab application using React by leveraging the Task Module capability provided by the Teams platform. Task Modules allow you to display rich media, information, or complete complex tasks within a pop-up window in your Teams app.
-
Import the necessary modules: Make sure you have the required dependencies installed. You can use Fluent UI React components for building the modal.
-
Define the modal component: Create a React component that represents your modal. This component will contain the content you want to display in the pop-up window.
-
Handle opening the modal: Define a function that will be triggered when you want to open the modal. This function will use the Teams SDK to open a Task Module with your modal component.
import React from 'react'; import { PrimaryButton } from '@fluentui/react'; const ModalComponent = () => { const openModal = async () => { const taskInfo = { title: 'My Modal', url: 'URL_TO_YOUR_MODAL_COMPONENT', height: 500, width: 600, }; microsoftTeams.tasks.startTask(taskInfo, (err, result) => { if (err) { console.error(err); } else { console.log(result); } }); }; return ( <div><h2>Modal Content</h2><PrimaryButton onClick={openModal}>Open Modal</PrimaryButton></div> ); }; export default ModalComponent;
In the code snippet above,
ModalComponent
is a simple React component that contains a button to open the modal. TheopenModal
function uses themicrosoftTeams.tasks.startTask
method to open a Task Module with the specified title, URL, height, and width.Thanks,

ray2408 - Yes, it is possible to use a standalone React modal in a Microsoft Teams tab application. You can use React to build a custom tab for your Teams application and take advantage of the built-in functions provided by the Teams platform. You can also use Fluent UI React to create a consistent look and feel with the rest of the Teams application.
