In the Oxygen design system repo at /Users/USER/workspace/doctolib/oxygen, find the Modal component implementation. I need to understand: 1. Where the Modal component source file is located 2. How it handles rendering children when isOpen is false — does it use conditional rendering (return null), portals, CSS visibility/display tricks, or something else? 3. Whether children are mounted/unmounted or just hidden

Please read the main Modal component file and report back with the exact rendering logic, file path, and relevant code snippets.

I'll help you find and analyze the Modal component implementation. Let me start by exploring the repository structure to locate the Modal component.

Good! I found several Modal component files. The main one appears to be at /Users/USER/workspace/doctolib/oxygen/packages/core/src/overlays/Modal/Modal.tsx. Let me read that file to understand the rendering logic.

Now let me check the _ModalTransition component to understand how it handles visibility, since that wraps the content:

Let me also check the Material-UI Modal documentation or the inlined Modal code to understand how it handles the open prop:

Perfect! Now let me check the Material-UI Modal implementation to confirm the behavior, and also look at the CSS to see if there are visibility tricks:

Now let me check the ModalTransition CSS to see how the transitions work:

Perfect! Now I have all the information I need. Let me create a comprehensive report:

File Location

Main Modal component: /Users/USER/workspace/doctolib/oxygen/packages/core/src/overlays/Modal/Modal.tsx


1. How Modal Handles Rendering When isOpen is False

The Modal uses Material-UI's Modal component wrapped with a Portal-based approach and conditional mounting. Here's the rendering logic:

The Modal passes the show prop directly to Material-UI's MaterialModal:

<MaterialModal
  open={show}
  closeAfterTransition
  // ... other props
>
  <Transition fullScreen={size === 'fullscreen'} in={show}>
    <div className='dl-modal-content' /* ... */>
      {children}
    </div>
  </Transition>
</MaterialModal>

Material-UI's Modal (lines 167-227 in Modal.tsx) uses a Portal internally and renders to the DOM regardless of the open state initially. However, the actual visibility is controlled through:

  1. The Transition wrapper (_ModalTransition) which uses react-transition-group/CSSTransition
  2. The in prop passed to CSSTransition controls visibility via CSS classes

2. Rendering Logic: Mounted/Unmounted vs Hidden

The behavior depends on the parent Modal implementation:

From the inlined react-overlays Modal (lines 358-361):

const mountModal = show || (Transition && !this.state.exited)
if (!mountModal) {
  return null
}

This shows conditional mounting: when show is false AND there's no active transition, the entire Modal returns null (not mounted to DOM).

However, during transitions, the Modal stays mounted but uses CSS for visibility:

  • When show={true}: CSSTransition applies dl-modal-transition-enter-active class, animating from opacity: 0.01 to opacity: 1 with transform
  • When show={false}: CSSTransition applies dl-modal-transition-exit-active class, animating to opacity: 0.01 and transform: translateY(-25%)
  • After exit animation completes: The component returns null (unmounts)

3. Key Technical Details

Component Architecture: - Uses Material-UI's Modal component as the base (from @mui/material/Modal) - Wraps content with _ModalTransition (custom transition wrapper using react-transition-group) - Delegates to Drawer component on mobile if disableDrawerOnMobile is false

Transition Duration: - MODAL_TRANSITION_DURATION constant (defined in packages/core/src/constants) - CSS animations: 300ms (from _ModalTransition.scss line 3)

CSS Transition Classes Applied (from _ModalTransition.scss): - Enter state: opacity: 0.01 + transform: translateY(-25%) - Enter-active: slides up and fades in over 300ms - Exit state: opacity: 1 - Exit-active: slides down and fades out over 300ms

Portal Mounting: - Material-UI renders the Modal content to a portal (typically document.body) - This keeps the modal outside the normal React hierarchy for proper z-indexing and focus management


Summary

Children Behavior: - During open state (show={true}): Children are mounted and visible (CSS opacity: 1) - During close transition (show={false}): Children remain mounted but hidden via CSS (opacity: 0.01, transform applied) for the 300ms animation - After transition completes: Children are unmounted (returns null from Modal)

This hybrid approach allows for smooth animations while ensuring unmounted state cleanup.
