Errors I Got Stuck On and Their Solutions When Implementing Modals in Chakra UI

Introduction

This document outlines actual errors encountered and their solutions when implementing a modal using React and Chakra UI.

Problem

The following errors occurred during modal implementation:

1. JSX structure error occurred because the Modal component was written outside the VStack.

Solutions

1. Fix Modal Placement

It was incorrectly placed outside the VStack, causing the error.
I fixed it by including the modal within the same JSX structure.

return (
  <VStack spacing={6} mt={6}>
    <Heading>Sample App</Heading>

    <Button onClick={onOpen} colorScheme="blue">
      Open Modal
    </Button>

    <Modal isOpen={isOpen} onClose={onClose}>
      <ModalOverlay />
      <ModalContent>
        <ModalHeader>Sample Modal</ModalHeader>
        <ModalCloseButton />
        <ModalBody>
          <Text>Place form or content here</Text>
        </ModalBody>
        <ModalFooter>
          <Button variant="ghost" onClick={onClose}>
            Close
          </Button>
        </ModalFooter>
      </ModalContent>
    </Modal>
  </VStack>)

Conclusion

Place modals inside VStack (maintain JSX structure)

Use object destructuring for useDisclosure
