Global Popup

Click a trigger element to build and display a popup. Popups are built from existing html in the DOM and require it to be there prior to initialisation.

Popups are absolutely positioned either above or below the trigger, based on a calculation of space in the viewport. Defaults to above. By default the popups calculate their width based on their contents.

The Popup is based on the Expander but differs in the following ways:

1. It moves keyboard focus to the target element on opening (necessitating the aria-haspopup="true" attribution as a warning to screen reader users)
2. It supplies a close button which sends focus back to trigger element on close

Usage

There are two approaches for using Global Popup: 1. Data attribute API 2. Directly in your application

Data attribute API

import {popup} from 'global-popup/js';

popup();

<button type="button" data-popup data-popup-target="popupContent1">Popup trigger</button>
<div id="popupContent1">
    <p>Some popup text</p>
</div>

(The trigger must be a <button> element with type="button" for keyboard and screen reader accessibility.)

Two data attributes are required:

There are also options (add these to trigger element):

Directly

import {Popup} from 'global-popup/js/popup';

const trigger = document.querySelector('button');
new Popup(trigger, 'popupContent1', { MIN_WIDTH: "100px", MAX_WIDTH: "600px" });

<div>
    <button type="button">Popup trigger</button>
    <div id="popupContent1">
        <p>Some popup text</p>
    </div>
</div>		

Lazily

If you wish to lazily create a popup the first time the trigger is clicked - for example if building the html for your popup is an expensive operation that you'd like to defer until needed - you can use this pattern:

import {Popup} from 'global-popup/js/popup';

const trigger = document.querySelector('button');
trigger.addEventListener('click', function() {
    const popup = new Popup(trigger, 'popupContent1');
    popup.open();
}, {capture: false, once: true});

<div>
    <button type="button">Popup trigger</button>
    <div id="popupContent1">
        <p>Some popup text</p>
    </div>
</div>
