uninstallModalStack

uninstallModalStack() stops the modal-stacking observer installed by installModalStack and releases every layer it is holding.

Import​

import { uninstallModalStack } from '@conduction/nextcloud-vue'

Signature​

function uninstallModalStack(): void

Usage​

CnAppRoot calls this on beforeUnmount(), so manifest-driven apps need no wiring. Call it yourself only if you called installModalStack() yourself and want to scope the side effect to something shorter-lived than the page — a test teardown, or a widget that owns its own Vue app.

import { installModalStack, uninstallModalStack } from '@conduction/nextcloud-vue'

const stop = installModalStack()
// … later, equivalently:
uninstallModalStack()

installModalStack() returns this same function, so either form works.

Reference counting​

Each installModalStack() call registers an owner; each uninstallModalStack() call releases one. The observer only actually stops on the last release, so a nested app shell unmounting cannot blind the outer one. Two installs therefore need two uninstalls.

Test teardown usually wants an unconditional teardown instead — import resetModalStack() from src/utils/modalStack.js, which ignores the reference count and always disconnects.

What it does not do​

Inline z-index values already written to open masks are left in place. Uninstall happens when an app shell unmounts, and stripping the layer off a mask that is still on screen would drop it back under whatever it was covering. The observer stops, the layers are released from the stack, and the DOM is left alone.

Safe to call when nothing is installed — it is a no-op.
