Modal not displaying on-click

Question

I've created a modal but it would not display, it worked on an app I created with React, but with vanilla javascript (on a different project) it won't work.

Link for html, css and javascript code: https://codepen.io/J-Kazama/pen/WNbPoZB

If I change the display of .bg-modal to flex from none the modal does show up, so I assume the problem is with javascript.

Answer 1

remove the import from your JS and it works...

(function() {

  document.getElementById('revAddButton').addEventListener('click', function() {
    document.querySelector('.bg-modal').style.display = 'flex'
  });
})()

.btn {
  display: inline-block;
  border: none;
  padding: 6px 12px;
  margin-bottom: 0;
  font-size: 14px;
  font-weight: normal;
  text-align: center;
  cursor: pointer;
  border-radius: 4px;
}

.btn-red {
  text-decoration: none;
