Jquery-hover-flyout NPM

jquery-hover-flyout

jQuery plugin that creates the basic interactivity for a flyout that opens on hover of trigger element

$(selector).hoverFlyout();

Experimental

This plugin is still in an experimental state, until it reaches v1.0.0 you must consider all minor releases as breaking changes. Patch releases may introduce new features, but will be backwards compatible.

Install

npm install jquery-hover-flyout

Example

Markup before plugin:

<div class="flyout">
    <input class="flyout__trigger" />
    <div class="flyout__live-region" aria-live="off">
        <div class="flyout__overlay">
            <!-- flyout content -->
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Execute plugin:

$('.flyout').hoverFlyout();

Markup after plugin:

<div class="flyout" id="inputflyout-0">
    <input aria-controls="inputflyout-0-overlay" aria-expanded="false" />
    <div class="flyout__live-region" aria-live="off">
        <div class="flyout__overlay" id="inputflyout-0-overlay">
            <!-- flyout content -->
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

'Hover' event on button will now toggle aria-expanded state of button. CSS can use this state to hide/show overlay. For example:

.flyout__overlay {
    display: none;
    position: absolute;
    z-index: 1;
}
.flyout__trigger[aria-expanded=true] ~ .flyout__live-region > .flyout__overlay {
    display: block;
}

Params

options.overlaySelector - selector for overlay element (default: '.flyout__overlay')
options.triggerSelector - selector for trigger element (default: '.flyout__trigger')
options.expandedClass - if present, uses this class instead of aria-expanded (default: null)

Events

flyoutExpand - the flyout has expanded
flyoutCollapse - the flyout has collapsed
