🧑💻 Source code
Main function to call modals here
function displayPopup(modalObject: any, width, height, position) {
var pageInput: Xrm.Navigation.PageInputHtmlWebResource = {
pageType: "webresource",
webresourceName: "vite_/viteapps/pages/modals.html",
data: JSON.stringify(modalObject),
};
var navigationOptions: Xrm.Navigation.NavigationOptions = {
target: 2, // 2 is for opening the page as a dialog.
width: width, // default is px. can be specified in % as well. 400
height: height, // default is px. can be specified in % as well. 500
position: position, // Specify 1 to open the dialog in center; 2 to open the dialog on the side. Default is 1 (center). 1

};
Xrm.Navigation.navigateTo(pageInput, navigationOptions).then(
function success(returnedValues) {
console.log(returnedValues);
},
function error(e) {
// Handle errors
}
);
}
