<mwc-dialog> 
IMPORTANT: The Material Web Components are a work in progress and subject to major changes until 1.0 release.
Dialogs inform users about a task and can contain critical information, require decisions, or involve multiple tasks.
Material Design Guidelines: dialogs
Installation
npm install @dev.mohe/mwc-dialogNOTE: The Material Web Components are distributed as ES2017 JavaScript Modules, and use the Custom Elements API. They are compatible with all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and IE11, but an additional tooling step is required to resolve bare module specifiers, as well as transpilation and polyfills for IE11. See here for detailed instructions.

Actions
Actions close the dialog on click. You can define an action by slotting an
element with the dialogAction="..." string attribute. The name of the
attribute can be customized by the
actionAttribute property. When a clickable element
with the dialogAction attribute is clicked, mwc-dialog will get the value
of the attribute and fire the closing and subsequent closed events with a
detail of {action: <clickedElement.getAttribute('dialogAction')>}.
For example:
<mwc-dialog open>
<div>
<div>
This is my content. Here is an actionable button:
<button dialogAction="contentButton">button 1</button>
</div>
<div>
This is my content. Here is a diabled actionable button:
<button disabled dialogAction="disabledContentButton">button 2</button>
</div>
</div>
<mwc-button slot="primaryAction" dialogAction="ok">ok</mwc-button>
<mwc-button slot="secondaryAction">cancel</mwc-button>
</mwc-dialog>In this example we have 3 actionable elements:
<button dialogAction="contentButton">button 1</button><button disabled dialogAction="disabledContentButton">button 2</button><mwc-button slot="primaryAction" dialogAction="ok">ok</mwc-button>- Clicking button 1 will close the dialog and fire a
closingand subsequently aclosedevent with a detail of{action: 'contentButton'}. - Clicking button 2 will not close the dialog since it is disabled
- Clicking the cancel
mwc-buttonwill not close the dialog as it does not have adialogActionattribute set on it. - Clicking the ok
mwc-buttonwill close the dialog and fire aclosingand subsequently aclosedevent with a detail of{action: 'ok'}. - Setting
document.querySelector('mwc-dialog').open = false;will close the dialog and fire aclosingand subsequently aclosedevent with a detail of{action: 'close'}(action is configurable viadefaultActionproperty).
Focus
Initial focus can be set on an element with the dialogInitialFocus boolean
attribute (configurable via the
initialFocusAttribute property).
For example:
<mwc-dialog heading="Initial Focus" open>
<div>
In this example we set "dialogInitialFocus" on the mwc-textfield.
When this dialog opens, it is auto-focused.
</div>
<mwc-textfield
label="i am auto-focused"
dialogInitialFocus>
</mwc-textfield>
<mwc-button slot="primaryAction" dialogAction="close">
Primary
</mwc-button>
<mwc-button slot="secondaryAction" dialogAction="close">
Secondary
</mwc-button>
</mwc-dialog>In this example we set dialogInitialFocus on the mwc-textfield, so
mwc-textfield.focus() will be called on the button. This attribute can also be
set on anything in the light DOM of mwc-dialog or the light dom of the
flattened, distributed nodes including the primary and secondary actions. Only
one element designated with this attribute will be focused.
Calling focus() on the mwc-dialog itself will call focus() on any
dialogInitialFocus element in the light DOM of mwc-dialog.
Calling blur() on the mwc-dialog will attempt to blur the
activeElement
of the shadow root of mwc-dialog or the
root node
of the dialog.
