Important Note
Note: The portal component renders its children outside the parent component's DOM hierarchy. However, it is important to note that the portal component is created using React context. This means that the portal component will not work if the parent component is not wrapped in a GluestackUIProvider or OverlayProvider.

Installation

Run the following command:

npx gluestack-ui add portal
