# ModalTrigger

A component that renders a trigger element which opens a modal when clicked. Useful for actions that need confirmation or additional input.

  modalBody: "This is the modal body content.",
  tooltip: "Click to open modal",
  width: "600px",
  maxWidth: "1000px",
  responsive: true,
  draggable: false,
  resizable: false,
  triggerNode: "Click to Open Modal"
}}
  controls={[
  {
    name: "isButton",

## Try It

Edit the code below to experiment with the component:

          <Input placeholder="Item name" />
        </div>
      }
      width="400px"
