Expected behavior I have a Modal with a form on it. Because I want to validate the form and save information, I don't want the modal to close until I'm done with those actions. The modal closes when I use the inline data-mdb-dismiss="modal" in the HTML, but I can't figure out what to call in JavaScript to close the modal once my form is saved.

I tried doing the hide method like below, but it didn't work.

const myModalEl = document.getElementById('myModal')
const modal = new mdb.Modal(myModalEl)
modal.hide()

I then tried a hack approach of just hiding the modal and the background myself:

$("#compose-modal").hide();
$(".modal-backdrop").remove();

I thought this worked, but it seems to have some things still going on that make the page not work correctly.
