A small React component library that transports children (modals, lightboxes, loading bars) into a portal appended to document.body or a custom DOM node. It wraps React's official portal API with SSR support and convenience features like close-on-ESC and close-on-outside-click.

Use cases

• render modals at the top of the DOM tree in React
• create lightboxes that escape parent CSS positioning
• show loading bars or tooltips outside the component tree
• portal React content into a specific DOM element
• build overlays that close on ESC or outside click
• use portals with server-side rendering

When to choose

• you need a minimal, dependency-free portal wrapper for React 15/16+
• you want built-in open/close state handling with ESC and outside-click closing
• you need SSR-safe portals without manual DOM checks

When to avoid

• you're on modern React and only need ReactDOM.createPortal directly
• you need a full modal/dialog component with accessibility features built in
• the project is unmaintained for your React version and you need active support
