Utility component that locks focus inside the component.

Props

Name Type Default Description
children node A single child content element.
disableAutoFocus bool false If true, the trap focus will not automatically shift focus to itself when it opens, and replace it to the last focused element when it closes. This also works correctly with any trap focus children that have the disableAutoFocus prop.
Generally this should never be set to true as it makes the trap focus less accessible to assistive technologies, like screen readers.
disableEnforceFocus bool false If true, the trap focus will not prevent focus from leaving the trap focus while open.
Generally this should never be set to true as it makes the trap focus less accessible to assistive technologies, like screen readers.
disableRestoreFocus bool false If true, the trap focus will not restore focus to previously focused element once trap focus is hidden.
getDoc* func Return the document to consider. We use it to implement the restore focus between different browser documents.
isEnabled* func Do we still want to enforce the focus? This prop helps nesting TrapFocus elements.
open* bool If true, focus will be locked.

The component cannot hold a ref.
