Modals

A Modal is a pop-up dialog used to collect input from a user. Modals are opened in response to an interaction (button click, slash command) using a trigger_id returned by Slack.

Modal is kept as a thin compatibility wrapper around ModalView — new code can use either. See the Confirmation modal cookbook recipe for a complete example.

Slack reference: https://api.slack.com/surfaces/modals

Modals are pop-up windows, primarily used for collecting data from users.

This module is kept only for backwards compatibility, modals have been largely subsumed as a subtype of view.
