showCardModal / hideCardModal

Opens or closes a BetterForms card modal that renders another page.

Card modals are page-based modal windows. They are different from showModal / hideModal, which control the standard Sweet Modal dialog.

Use showCardModal when you want to open another BetterForms page inside a modal window.

Action Summary

Action	Purpose
showCardModal	Opens a card modal window
hideCardModal	Closes the active card modal

Minimal Example

{
  "action": "showCardModal",
  "options": {
    "slug": "customer-detail"
  }
}

To close the modal:

{
  "action": "hideCardModal"

Notes

• showCardModal creates a BetterForms window and loads another page into it.

• hideCardModal closes the active card modal through the runtime event bus.

• These actions are separate from showModal / hideModal.

• For the full card modal option set, use the page-level reference here:

  • Card / Window Modals

Common Uses

• open a record detail page from a list

• show a child form without leaving the current page

• build modal workflows that still use BetterForms pages and hooks
