Overlay

Provides a window which can have an arbitrary number of overlay views that will sit above the root view of the window.

API
AutoClose

The AutoClose property is used to let users close the overlay by clicking it.

@inject ISnackbar Snackbar
 
<MudButton Variant="Variant.Filled" Color="Color.Primary" OnClick="OpenOverlay">Show Overlay</MudButton>

<MudOverlay @bind-Visible="_visible" DarkBackground AutoClose="true" OnClosed="OnOverlayClosed" />

@code {
    private bool _visible;

    public void OpenOverlay()
    {
        _visible = true;
        StateHasChanged();
    }
    
    public void OnOverlayClosed()
    {
        Snackbar.Add("Random message", Severity.Normal);
    }
}
Absolute

The overlay can be contained inside its parent using the Absolute property and CSS Style="position: relative;".

<MudPaper Class="pa-8" Style="height: 300px; position: relative;">
    <MudButton Variant="Variant.Filled" Color="Color.Secondary" OnClick="@(e => ToggleOverlay(true))">Show Overlay</MudButton>

    <MudOverlay Visible="visible" DarkBackground="true" Absolute="true">
        <MudButton Variant="Variant.Filled" Color="Color.Primary"  OnClick="@(e => ToggleOverlay(false))">Hide Overlay</MudButton>
    </MudOverlay>
</MudPaper>

@code {
    private bool visible;

    public void ToggleOverlay(bool value)
    {
        visible = value;
    }
}
Color

The overlay is transparent by default but can be changed with DarkBackground or LightBackground.

</MudGrid>

@code {
    private bool lightVisible;
    private bool darkVisible;
}
Z-index

With the ZIndex property you can control the stack order of the component.

<MudButton Variant="Variant.Filled" Color="Color.Tertiary" OnClick="OpenOverlay">Show Overlay</MudButton>

<MudOverlay @bind-Visible="visible" DarkBackground="true" ZIndex="9999" AutoClose="true"/>

@code {
    private bool visible;

    public void OpenOverlay()
    {
        visible = true;
        StateHasChanged();
    }
}
Loader

The Overlay component can take any child content but here we are using it to display loading progress.

<MudCard Class="my-2" Style="position:relative;">
    @if (!dataLoaded)
    {
        <MudSkeleton SkeletonType="SkeletonType.Rectangle" Height="200px" />

        <MudOverlay Visible="visible" DarkBackground="true" Absolute="true">
            <MudProgressCircular Color="Color.Secondary" Indeterminate="true" />
        </MudOverlay>
    }
    else
