Modal dialogs.

## When To Use

When requiring users to interact with application, but without jumping to a new page to interrupt
the user's workflow, you can use `Modal` to create a new floating layer over the current page for user
getting feedback or information purposes.
Additionally, if you need show a simple confirmation dialog, you can use `antd.Modal.confirm()`,
and so on.

#### Destroy on close

> The state of Modal will be preserved at it's component lifecircle.
> If you wish to open it with brand new state everytime, you need to reset state manually. Or simply [give a new key](https://github.com/ant-design/ant-design/issues/4165) to Modal when visible is changed to `true`, React will treat it as a new component.

> ```jsx
> <Modal key={this.state.newKey} visible={this.state.visible} />
> ```

### Modal.method()

There are five ways to display the information based on the content's nature:

- `Modal.info`
- `Modal.success`
- `Modal.error`
- `Modal.warning`
- `Modal.confirm`

The items listed above are all functions, expecting a settings object as parameter.
The properties of the object are follows:

| Property   | Description    | Type             | Default       |
|------------|----------------|------------------|---------------|
| title      | Title           | string\|ReactNode | no           |
| content    | Content           | string\|ReactNode | no          |
| onOk       | Specify a function that will be called when a user clicked OK button. The parameter of this function is a function whose execution should include closing the dialog. You can also just return a promise and when the promise is resolved, the modal dialog will also be closed    | function         | no           |
| onCancel   | Specify a function that will be called when a user clicked Cancel button. The parameter of this function is a function whose execution should include closing the dialog. You can also just return a promise and when the promise is resolved, the modal dialog will also be closed       | function         | no           |
| width      | Width of dialog           | string\|number | 416           |
| iconType   | Type of Icon component    | string | question-circle |
| okText     | Text of OK button    | string           | OK       |
| cancelText | Text of cancel button    | string           | Cancel       |
| maskClosable | Determine whether to close the modal dialog when clicked mask of it. | Boolean   | `false`       |

All the `Modal.method`s will return a reference, and then we can close the popup by the reference.

```jsx
const ref = Modal.info();
ref.destroy();
```

<style>
.code-box-demo .ant-btn {
  margin-right: 8px;
}
</style>
