# Feature: #90168 - Introduce Modal Actions {#feature-90168}

See [forge#90168](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/90168)

## Description {#description}

Action buttons in modals created by the `TYPO3/CMS/Backend/Modal` module may
now make use of `TYPO3/CMS/Backend/ActionButton/ImmediateAction` and
`TYPO3/CMS/Backend/ActionButton/DeferredAction`.

As an alternative to the existing `trigger` option, the new option
`action` may be used with an instance of the previously mentioned modules.

Example:

```js
Modal.confirm('Header', 'Some content', Severity.error, [
  {
    text: 'Based on trigger()',
    trigger: function () {
      console.log('Vintage!');
    }
  },
  {
    text: 'Based on action',
    action: new DeferredAction(() => {
      return new AjaxRequest('/any/endpoint').post({});
    })
  }
]);
```

## Impact {#impact}

Activating any action disables all buttons in the modal. Once the action is
done, the modal disappears automatically.

Buttons of the type `DeferredAction` render a spinner on activation into the
button.
