Description

Updated the Modal documentation to correctly explain the current behavior of the dismissible prop.

After the change in #1641, the close (X) button only renders when dismissible={true}. The previous docs only mentioned backdrop dismissal, which was incomplete and confusing.

Changes

  • Updated the "Backdrop dismissible" section
  • Clarified that dismissible controls both the close button visibility and backdrop/Escape dismissal
  • Linked to the related issue

Closes #1658

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • The mobile navbar stays open when users click a nested interactive element.
  • Documentation
    • Clarified that dismissible enables the modal’s header close button and allows dismissal by clicking the backdrop or pressing Escape.
    • Clarified that onClose is triggered when a user attempts to close the modal.

Update documentation to correctly explain that the dismissible prop controls both the close button visibility and backdrop dismissal.

Walkthrough

The pull request updates modal dismissal documentation and changes how NavbarLink handles clicks from nested interactive elements. It adds a test that checks the navbar remains open after a nested button is clicked.

Changes: Modal dismissal documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Modal dismissal guidance
apps/web/content/docs/components/modal.mdx
The guide says that dismissible enables the header close button and dismissal through the backdrop or Escape. It states that onClose is triggered when the user tries to close the modal.

Navbar nested interactive clicks

Layer / File(s) Summary
Nested interactive click handling
packages/ui/src/components/Navbar/NavbarLink.tsx, packages/ui/src/components/Navbar/Navbar.test.tsx, .changeset/quiet-walls-click.md
NavbarLink calls onClick without closing the navbar when a click originates from a nested interactive element. The test checks that the collapse remains visible after a nested button is clicked. A patch changeset records the fix.

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in apps/web/content/docs/components/modal.mdx: Replaces the “Backdrop dismissible” guidance, which described dismissal by clicking outside the modal, with guidance that dismissible enables a header close button and dismissal by backdrop click or Escape, and that onClose is triggered when the user tries to close the modal. The example remains the same.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title clearly identifies the main documented change: clarifying the Modal dismissible prop behavior. It is concise and specific, although it does not mention the additional Navbar fix included in the changeset.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #1658 permits a documentation fix. apps/web/content/docs/components/modal.mdx now states that dismissible enables the header close button and dismissal by backdrop or Escape. It also states that onClose runs when the user tries to close the modal. This addresses the documented onClose versus dismissible behavior. No additional implementation or automated test is required by the issue.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The pull request also changes packages/ui/src/components/Navbar/NavbarLink.tsx and packages/ui/src/components/Navbar/Navbar.test.tsx. It adds a .changeset/quiet-walls-click.md file for a Navbar fix. These changes address nested interactive elements in the Navbar and have no connection to issue #1658 or the Modal documentation.

Resolution

Remove the Navbar implementation, Navbar test, and Navbar changeset from this pull request, or move them to a separate pull request.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 1 functions across 2 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

packages/ui/src/components/Navbar/Navbar.test.tsx: 1

27-27: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Low value

Parameterize the nested-click test over the other interactive element types.

The test at Navbar.test.tsx:20-39 covers only a nested <button>. NavbarLink also treats a, input, select, textarea, and [role="button"] as interactive, so a change that removes those selectors would still pass this suite. Use one it.each case that covers these elements and asserts that the collapse stays open. This adds a small guard for a deliberate selector list. Nested native form controls and anchors are uncommon inside a navigation link, so this is a coverage improvement for working behavior, not a fix for a current failure.
