ModalHeader provides a consistent header section for Modal. It displays a centered title with optional back and close buttons that integrate with Modal's context.

Basics

Pass a title to display centered text. The close button automatically appears and uses Modal's onRequestClose handler.

function BasicExample() {
  const [visible, setVisible] = useState(false);
  return (
    <>
      <Button onClick={() => setVisible(true)}>Open Modal</Button>
      <Modal onRequestClose={() => setVisible(false)} visible={visible}>
        <ModalHeader title="Account Settings" closeAccessibilityLabel="Close" />
        <ModalBody>
          <Text>Modal content goes here.</Text>
        </ModalBody>
      </Modal>
    </>
  );
}

Back Button

Use onBackButtonClick to show a back arrow for multi-step flows. The back button appears on the left side of the header.

      <Button onClick={() => setVisible(true)}>Open Modal</Button>
      <Modal onRequestClose={() => setVisible(false)} visible={visible}>
        <ModalHeader
          title="Confirm Details"
          onBackButtonClick={() => setVisible(false)}
          backAccessibilityLabel="Go back"
          closeAccessibilityLabel="Close"
        />
        <ModalBody>
          <Text>Step 2 of 3</Text>
        </ModalBody>
      </Modal>
    </>
  );
}

Title Only

Omit buttons by not providing onBackButtonClick and setting hideCloseButton on the Modal.

  return (
    <>

        <ModalHeader title="No Divider" closeAccessibilityLabel="Close" />
        <ModalBody>
          <Text>The header has no bottom border.</Text>
        </ModalBody>
      </Modal>
    </>
  );
}

Accessibility

Always provide closeAccessibilityLabel for the close button and backAccessibilityLabel when using the back button. These labels are announced by screen readers.
