| `closeData` | `Serializable` | Optional. Data to pass to the modal's opener. This data is returned by [openModal](https://dev.wix.com/docs/sdk/host-modules/dashboard/open-modal.md) once the modal is closed. It must be Serializable data, which means it can be cloned using the [structured clone algorithm](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers_API/Structured_clone_algorithm). For example, you cannot pass function callbacks in this parameter. |

## Returns

`void`

## Examples
> **Note:** To call this method in [self-hosted apps](https://dev.wix.com/docs/sdk/articles/get-started/about-self-hosted-apps.md), you need to create a [client](https://dev.wix.com/docs/sdk/articles/set-up-a-client/about-the-wix-client.md). See the [setup](https://dev.wix.com/docs/sdk/host-modules/dashboard/introduction.md) guide for more details.

### Close a modal

```typescript
import { dashboard } from '@wix/dashboard';

dashboard.closeModal({ message: 'The modal is closed!' });
```
