Open Ajax Modal Dialog from Controller

Dialogs are often called dialog boxes, modal windows, or pop-up windows. 
Whatever you call them, they are a quick and easy way to display additional information without reloading the entire page. 
Dialog boxes can display just some static text, any node or form of your page, a views page, or any custom markup you'll feed them.

Display Forms in a Modal Dialog

Display create a node in a modal dialog

By default when creating a node, the save action will redirect the user to another page but if we want to just close the modal dialog and leave the user on the same page we need to tell the form to do that.

For this we are going to alter the form and add an AJAX command letting Drupal know that we want to close the dialog as soon as the node is created.

How To Open A Node Form In An Overlay Modal by LINK or MENU

I have a view with nodes of type 'tasks'. I want to easily view and edit these tasks using a minimized overlay. When I click on a task title in the view, it must open in an overlay.

In Drupal 7, this was possible with the core overlay module and the Overlay Paths module. 
The core overlay has been discontinued in Drupal 8, in favor of a 'back to site' link, which does not serve my purpose of showing a minimized popup block. 
It also needs to be used by authenticated users, not only administrators.

Open Form in Modal mode also known as Pop-Up

Modal dialogs are incredibly useful on websites as they allow the user to do something without having to leave the web page they are on. Drupal 8 now has a Dialog API in core, which greatly reduces the amount of code you need to write to create a modal dialog. Dialogs in Drupal 8 leverage jQuery UI.
