A fully customizable and accessable react modal with hook primitives.
There are several modal implementations in react, but none of them offered the flexibility to have total control of the components being rendered so that you could use whichever animation library you want.
- Easy out of the box Modal component.
- Exposes the underlying hooks to make it possible to compose them as you see fit.
