createPortal (React)

Using the react dom create portal to lift dom elements into the root.

reactreact-dom

## Requirements

React's createPortal API allows you to render elements outside of their parent component’s DOM hierarchy. This is especially useful when dealing with UI elements like modals, tooltips, dropdowns, and overlays that must break out of the normal rendering flow.


## 📦 Requirements

To use createPortal, make sure your project meets these requirements:

  • React 16 or higher
  • react-dom installed
  • An additional DOM node (e.g. a div#modal-root) defined in your base HTML

Install React and ReactDOM if you haven't already:

npm install react react-dom
pnpm add react react-dom
yarn add react react-dom
bun add react react-dom
