Semantic-UI Modal Types

Last Updated : 5 Aug, 2025

Semantic UI is an open-source framework that uses CSS and jQuery to build great user interfaces. It is the same as a bootstrap for use and has great different elements to make your website look more amazing. It uses a class to add CSS to the elements.

Modal is generally used to divert the user's attention to a part separate from the main content, as further website interactions may depend on some action that needs to be performed by the user. Semantic UI provides us with a custom-styled modal. Before getting to know the various modal types, let's have a look at the classes that let us use the Semantic UI modals.

Semantic UI Modal Classes:

  • modal: This class is used to set a standard Semantic UI Modal.
  • basic: This class is used to set a basic modal accompanied by the modal class.

Syntax:

<div class="ui  Modal-Classes modal">
    ....
</div>

Example: In the below example, we have created a standard Semantic UI Modal.
