## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
