Popover

npm

Popover package offers following components:

Popover
Tooltip

Popover and Tooltip require a target element that acts as a pivot for their content. They support multiple placement positions, allowing both elements to be positioned next to the target element in any direction.

Popover

Popover is an interactive floating element that displays information related to an anchor element when the element is clicked. It represents the UI element as floating above the normal flow creating the "pop out" effect. Popover can contain a range of elements from simple strings to complex React designs.

Popover is a controlled component, it does not manage visibility state on it's own.

Tooltip

Tooltip component allows user to see additional context about a UI element without cluttering the interface. Tooltip provides informative text when the user hovers over, focuses on, and on mobile device taps on an element. Tooltips are often used sparingly to avoid overwhelming users. They are meant to support discovery, not replace clear design or documentation.

To use an icon from @asphalt-react/iconpack as the target element for tooltip, wrap the icon inside an HTML element like a div or span.

Usage

import React, { useState } from "react"
import { Popover, Tooltip } from "@asphalt-react/popover"
import { Button } from "@asphalt-react/button"

const App = () => {
  const [open, setOpen] = useState(false)

  return (
    <>
      <Popover
        open={open}
        target={<Button>Click Me</Button>}
        onOpenChange={setOpen}
        >
        <p>
          Hello there
        </p>
      </Popover>
      <Tooltip
        target={<a href="#">Hover over here</a>}
        >
        Add information here
      </Tooltip>
    </>
  )
}

export default App

Sizes

Popover & Tooltip comes in 3 sizes small(s), medium(m) & large(l).

Building blocks

Popover component comes with:
- BasePopover
- FocusManager
BasePopover supports 3 sizes: small(s), medium(m) & large(l).
FocusManager handles the focus management for Popover content.

Hooks

usePopover

Use the usePopover() hook to get all the prop getter functions and then spread them in the target & popover components. usePopover() takes props as parameter.

React hook which returns prop getter functions. Use these functions to generate prop objects for different components in Popover.

Arguments

usePopover accepts the following props:

open
placement
outOfFlow
flip
size
bezel
focusTrap
noOffset
lowOffset
mediumOffset
highOffset
onOpenChange
stretch
returnFocus

Getter functions

getTargetProps()

Use this function to create props for Target element of the Popover.

const { getTargetProps } = usePopover({ open: true, onOpenChange: setOpen })

<Button {...getTargetProps()}>
  Click me
</Button>

getPopoverProps()

Use this function to create props for Popover/floating component.

const { getPopoverProps } = usePopover({ open: true, onOpenChange: setOpen })

<BasePopover {...getPopoverProps()}>
  <p>
    Hello there!
  </p>
</BasePopover>

getFocusProps()

Use this function to create props for FocusManager component.

const { getFocusProps } = usePopover({ open: true, onOpenChange: setOpen })

<FocusManager {...getFocusProps()}>
  <BasePopover {...getPopoverProps()}>
    <p>
      Hello there!
    </p>
  </BasePopover>
<FocusManager>

Usage

import { BasePopover, usePopover, FocusManager } from "@asphalt-react/popover"

const App = () => {
  const [open, setOpen] = useState(false)

  const { getTargetProps, getPopoverProps, getFocusProps } = usePopover({
    open,
    onOpenChange: setOpen,
  })

  return (
    <div>
      <Button {...getTargetProps()}>Click me</Button>
      {open && (
        <FocusManager {...getFocusProps()}>
          <BasePopover open={open} {...getPopoverProps()}>
            <p>
              Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
            </p>
          </BasePopover>
        </FocusManager>
      )}
    </div>
  )
}

export default App

Accessibility

For popover, clicking outside the popover closes it. While in tooltip, moving the cursor away from the target element closes the tooltip.
Pressing Esc key closes both popover and tooltip.
Popover traps focus within its content, rotating the focus among its interactive elements.
The first interactive element receives focus by default when Popover opens.
The element that serves as the tooltip container has role="tooltip".
The element that triggers the tooltip has aria-describedby.

Example of tooltip accessibility:

<Tooltip
  id="my-tooltip"
  target={<a aria-describedby="my-tooltip" href="#">Hover over here</a>}
  >
  Add information here
</Tooltip>

Props

children

React node to render inside Popover.

type	required	default
node	true	N/A

target

Target node that triggers the Popover.

type	required	default
node	true	N/A

open

Decides the open state for Popover.

type	required	default
bool	false	false

size

Size of the Popover.

type	required	default
enum	false	"m"

bezel

Adds padding on all sides.

type	required	default
bool	false	true

placement

Placement of the Popover with respect to target node.

Popover supports multiple placements:

auto • auto-start • auto-end
top • top-start • top-end
bottom • bottom-start • bottom-end
left • left-start • left-end
right • right-start • right-end

type	required	default
enum	false	"bottom"

focusOrder

The order in which focus cycles.

reference - Target element which acts as pivot for Popover.
floating - Popover wrapper element.
content - Content inside Popover wrapper.

By default it's value is ['content'] - Subsequent tabs will cycle through the tabbable contents of the Popover content.

If the value is set to ['floating', 'content'] - Includes floating element in focus cycle.

If the value is set to ['reference', 'content'] - Includes reference element in focus cycle.

If the value is set to ['reference', 'floating', 'content'] - tabs will cycle through the reference, floating & tabbable contents of the Popover content.

type	required	default
arrayOf	false	"content"

initialFocus

Element to initially focus when Popover is opened. Can be either a number or a ref. Number is decided by the tabbable index as specified by the focusOrder.

type	required	default
union	false	0

outOfFlow

When Popover is added to a container with position: fixed and/or overflow: hidden, it creates a containing block with a stacking context which the Popover can't skip. In such scenarios, enabling outOfFlow will remove Popover from its parent's flow.

type	required	default
bool	false	false

flip

Flips the position of the floating element if there is space constraint in order to make it visible in viewport.

type	required	default

Strech works only in a relatively positioned container. Refer to the example below.

type	required	default

shift

Shifts the Popover horizontally to avoid the content from overflowing the viewport.

type	required	default
bool	false	true

focusTrap
