enableModal() for Lightning Experience

Toggles modal mode for a utility. While in modal mode, an overlay blocks users from using the console while the utility panel is visible. This method is available for Lightning Web Components (LWC) only.

Arguments

Name Type Description
utilityId string The ID of the utility for which to toggle modal mode.
enabled boolean Specifies whether to enable the utility's modal mode.

LWC Sample Code

Before you can use the LWC utility bar API, Lightning Web Security must be enabled.

This component toggles modal mode in a utility bar.

1import { LightningElement, wire } from 'lwc';
2import { enableModal, EnclosingUtilityId } from 'lightning/platformUtilityBarApi';
3
4export default class EnableModalExample extends LightningElement {
5    @wire(EnclosingUtilityId) utilityId;
6    isModalEnabled = false;
7    
8    async handleToggle() {
9        const enable = !this.isModalEnabled;
10        this.isModalEnabled = enable;
11        await enableModal(this.utilityId, enable);
12    }
13}

To make your component available for use in a utility bar, specify the lightning__UtilityBar target in the component’s configuration file.
