How to Code a Modal with Vanilla JavaScript

Hi, My name is Andy Leverenz and I work as a Product Designer at Dribbble. For fun I design, code, and write. Check out my blog called Web-Crunch https://web-crunch.com where I publish design and development tutorials with the occasional vlog.

====================

I'm back with my next installment of the Let's Build: With JavaScript series. If you're new to the series, I'm building common components used on the web today with HTML, CSS, and Vanilla JavaScript.

This is both an exercise for myself and a "show and tell" of how you can accomplish things you might have onced used frameworks like jQuery for with vanilla JavaScript.

This build focuses on coding a accessible modal using styles from Tailwind and our own custom JavaScript. Key features of the modal are to open and close as well as close the modal by clicking outside the main dialog window container element.
