# ModalBody

**📖 Live documentation:** https://cds.coinbase.com/components/overlay/ModalBody/

A main content area component for Modal.

## Import

```tsx
import { ModalBody } from '@coinbase/cds-web/overlays/modal/ModalBody'
```

## Examples

ModalBody provides a scrollable content area for [Modal](/components/overlay/Modal).

### Basics

ModalBody renders children with default padding and enables scrolling when content overflows.

```jsx live
function BasicExample() {
  const [visible, setVisible] = useState(false);
  return (
    <>
      <Button onClick={() => setVisible(true)}>Open Modal</Button>
      <Modal onRequestClose={() => setVisible(false)} visible={visible}>
        <ModalHeader title="Welcome" closeAccessibilityLabel="Close" />
        <ModalBody>
          <Text>
            This is the modal body content. It provides consistent padding and scrolling behavior.
          </Text>
        </ModalBody>
      </Modal>
    </>
  );
}
```

### Scrollable Content

When content exceeds the modal height, ModalBody automatically scrolls. The default `overflow="auto"` handles this.

```jsx live
function ScrollableExample() {
  const [visible, setVisible] = useState(false);
  return (
    <>
      <Button onClick={() => setVisible(true)}>Open Modal</Button>
      <Modal onRequestClose={() => setVisible(false)} visible={visible}>
        <ModalHeader title="Terms of Service" closeAccessibilityLabel="Close" />
        <ModalBody>
          <VStack gap={3}>
            {Array.from({ length: 20 }, (_, i) => (
              <Text key={i}>
                Section {i + 1}: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed do
                eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
              </Text>
            ))}
          </VStack>
        </ModalBody>
        <ModalFooter primaryAction={<Button onClick={() => setVisible(false)}>Accept</Button>} />
      </Modal>
    </>
  );
}
```

### Accessibility

ModalBody has `tabIndex={0}` by default, making it focusable for keyboard navigation. Users can Tab to focus the body, then use arrow keys to scroll. Content within ModalBody, such as form controls, remains accessible.

```jsx live
function AccessibilityExample() {
  const [visible, setVisible] = useState(false);
  const [email, setEmail] = useState('');
  const [amount, setAmount] = useState('');

  return (
    <>
      <Button onClick={() => setVisible(true)}>Send Money</Button>
      <Modal onRequestClose={() => setVisible(false)} visible={visible}>
        <ModalHeader title="Send Payment" closeAccessibilityLabel="Close" />
        <ModalBody accessibilityLabel="Payment form">
          <VStack gap={3}>
            <TextInput
              label="Recipient Email"
              placeholder="email@example.com"
              value={email}
              onChange={(e) => setEmail(e.target.value)}
            />
            <TextInput
              label="Amount"
              placeholder="0.00"
              leadingText="$"
              value={amount}
              onChange={(e) => setAmount(e.target.value)}
            />
          </VStack>
        </ModalBody>
        <ModalFooter
          primaryAction={<Button onClick={() => setVisible(false)}>Send</Button>}
          secondaryAction={
            <Button onClick={() => setVisible(false)} variant="secondary">
              Cancel
            </Button>
          }
        />
      </Modal>
    </>
  );
}
```
