Props

NameTypeDefaultDescription
getDoc*funcReturn the document to consider. We use it to implement the restore focus between different browser documents.
isEnabled*funcDo we still want to enforce the focus? This prop helps nesting TrapFocus elements.
open*boolfalseIf true, focus is locked.
childrenelementA single child content element.
⚠️ Needs to be able to hold a ref.
disableAutoFocusboolfalseIf true, the trap focus will not automatically shift focus to itself when it opens, and replace it to the last focused element when it closes. This also works correctly with any trap focus children that have the disableAutoFocus prop.
Generally this should never be set to true as it makes the trap focus less accessible to assistive technologies, like screen readers.
disableEnforceFocusboolfalseIf true, the trap focus will not prevent focus from leaving the trap focus while open.
Generally this should never be set to true as it makes the trap focus less accessible to assistive technologies, like screen readers.
disableRestoreFocusboolfalseIf true, the trap focus will not restore focus to previously focused element once trap focus is hidden.
getTabbablefuncReturns an array of ordered tabbable nodes (i.e. in tab order) within the root. For instance, you can provide the "tabbable" npm dependency.

Signature:
function(root: HTMLElement) => void

The component cannot hold a ref.
