flux:modal that allows interaction with the underlying page

[bradders]

I'm using the flyout sidebar in my project and it's great, but it would be more useful in my scenario if it didn't block interaction with the page underneath. My use case is popping a sidebar over top of a fullscreen map, where ideally I'd still be able to pan/zoom around the map off to the side.

Digging into the existing component it seems like it's built on top of a native modal (and therefore :backdrop) so it makes total sense why it works the way it does. I tried to add some custom styles for the :backdrop but to no avail.

I was about to ask the same "feature", sometimes you just don't need and don't want a backdrop in the modal.

@bradders The use-case you describe sounds like you should be using the collapsible flux:sidebar component (https://fluxui.dev/layouts/sidebar#collapsible-sidebar) instead of the flux:modal variant="flyout". Have you tried that?
