## Caveats
### Provide / Inject
When opening overlays programmatically (e.g. modals, slideovers, etc), the overlay component can only access injected values from the component containing `UApp` (typically `app.vue` or layout components). This is because overlays are mounted outside of the page context by the `UApp` component.
As such, using `provide()` in pages or parent components isn't supported directly. To pass provided values to overlays, the recommended approach is to use props instead:
```vue
<script setup lang="ts">
import { LazyModalExample } from '#components'
const providedValue = inject('valueProvidedInPage')
const modal = overlay.create(LazyModalExample, {
props: {
providedValue,
otherData: someValue
}
})
</script>
```
