Simon Grimm, an Ionic Insider and educator at the Ionic Academy, introduces the new Ionic 6 bottom sheet modal, a third presentation style option for modals alongside the full screen and iOS card modals. In his tutorial, Grimm demonstrates five innovative uses for this feature, providing step-by-step guidance on creating and customizing these modals within Ionic applications. He highlights the ease of setting breakpoints for different modal positions, passing data using BehaviorSubject for dynamic content updates, and employing inline modals for simplified integration. The tutorial also explores using modals as toast notifications and customizing them with CSS shadow parts for unique styling. Grimm encourages developers to update to Ionic 6 to take advantage of the new features and offers resources such as his Ionic Academy and new eBook, "Built with Ionic," which provides further insights and learning opportunities for leveraging Ionic's capabilities.
