Simplest Angular Popup box

 1. app.component.html (Note that we are using same method call on two buttons: this is your choice. you can use different method calls also.) Also note the property binding [] for style in popup div. It should be [] and not () !.



<div >
  <label>This is main page div</label>
  <button (click)="onButtonClick()">Open Popup</button>
</div>


<div  [style]="popupHideShow" class="modal">
  <div class="modal-content">
    <label>This is popup</label>
    <button (click)="onButtonClick()">Close Popup</button>
  </div>
</div>

2. app.component.ts   : The sole work is to toggle "display:block" or "display:none" depending on button press.

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {
  title = 'simplest-popup';
  popupHideShow = "display:none";

  onButtonClick()
  {
    if ( this.popupHideShow == "display:none")
    {
      this.popupHideShow = "display:block";
    }
    else
    {
      this.popupHideShow = "display:none";
    }
  }
}

3. The Most important : app.component.css



.modal {
    display: none;
    position: fixed; /* this is imp, otherwise popup will not fill entire screen */
    z-index: 1;
    top: 0;
    left:0;
    width:100%;
    height:100%;
    overflow: auto;
    background-color: rgb(0,0,0);
    background-color: rgba(0,0,0, 0.4);
}

.modal-content {
    width:80%;  /* as per your requirement , width of popup relative to screen */
    margin:15% auto;
    padding:20px;
    border: 1px solid #888;
    background-color: #fefefe;
}
