Describe the feature

Modal & Backdrop animation support

PatternFly Modals (and Backdrop that it uses) currently lack a smooth animation from closed->open->closed states.
This works well for smaller modals showing simple information or requiring a simple action from the user; But for larger modals it is really jarring.

A proposed new component <Tearsheet> that leverages the <Modal> makes this missing animation a larger friction point with a near-full-screen modal size.

Modal and Backdrop could function like the other PF components that already opt-in to animations via <AnimationsProvider>. opt-in is important to not break or regress the performance of pages depending on the as-is of Modals/Backdrops.

User Story

As a user, when I use a Modal with rich information or a form, it is jarring to see it flash on screen with no visual easing from the open-to-closed state.

Interaction States & Variations

  • On opening: modal fades in + shifts down a few pixels slightly and falls full into view
