By default <b-modal> shows on top of the page. When attribute centered is added to the tag. It is centered.

However, I would like to show the modal with a certain amount of gap under the top of the page.
The Modal is shown when the home page is opened.

AppModal.vue

<template>
<b-modal ref="thisModalRef" :modal-class="my-modal" size="lg" hide-header hide-footer no-close-on-backdrop hide-header-close>
    //...
</b-modal>
</template>
<script>
export default {
  data () {
    return {
      mymodal: ['mymodal']
    }
  },
  methods: {
    hideModal () {
      this.$refs.thisModalRef.hide()
    },
    showModal () {
      this.$refs.thisModalRef.show()
    }
  }
}
</script>

<style scoped>
  .mymodal > div {
    position: absolute;
    top: 300px;
    right: 100px;
    background-color: yellow;
  }
</style>

AppHome.vue

<template>
  <div>
    // omitted
    <AppModal ref="modalRef"></AppModal>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
import AppModal from './AppModal'

export default {
  components: {
    AppModal
  },
  data () {
    return {
      msg: 'Welcome to Your Vue.js App'
    }
  },
  methods: {
    showModal: function () {
      this.$refs.modalRef.showModal()
    }
  },
  mounted () {
    this.showModal()
  }
}
</script>

<style scoped>
// ommitted
</style>

html source related to modal

<div id="__BVID__16___BV_modal_outer_">
   <div id="__BVID__16" role="dialog" class="modal fade show d-block mymodal" style="padding-right: 15px;">
      <div class="modal-dialog modal-lg">
         <div tabindex="-1" role="document" aria-describedby="__BVID__16___BV_modal_body_" class="modal-content">
            <!---->
            <div id="__BVID__16___BV_modal_body_" class="modal-body">
               // ommitted
            </div>
            <!---->
         </div>
      </div>
   </div>
   <div id="__BVID__16___BV_modal_backdrop_" class="modal-backdrop fade show"></div>
</div>

As you can see, mymodal class is correctly applied. But the div .modal-dialog does not have the css properties I give it.

the real css properties found in dev tools

.modal-dialog {
    position: relative;
    width: auto;
    margin: 0.5rem;
    pointer-events: none;
}

I tried adding a custom class to <b-modal> and style it. Nothing worked. Please help.

If you want to put the modal into the specific position, below is my solutuon:

  1. add specific class to <b-modal> by its props=modal-class

  2. then add your styles into myclass > div

You can look into the github (line#:176), Bootstrap-vue will place one div.modal-content(including header/body/foot) into one div with class="modal-dialog" which is the direct child of root.

That is why above solution use the css selector = .myclass > div.

If you look into the dom tree: the structure of one bootstrap-vue modal will be:

one root div (myclass will be added into here) -> one div with modal-dialog -> one div with modal-content -> header/body/footer

Below is one sample: (I put different background-color for modal-dialog, modal-content.)

app = new Vue({ //not vue, it is Vue
  el: "#app",
  data: {
    myclass: ['myclass']
  },
  methods: {
    showModal: function(){
      this.$refs.myModalRef.show()
    }
  }
})
.myclass > div {
  position:absolute !important;
  top: -10px !important;
  left: -10px !important;
  background-color:yellow !important;
}

.myclass > .modal-dialog > .modal-content {
  background-color:red !important;
}

  </b-modal>
