Popover

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

1. Popover component comes with:

   • BasePopover
   • FocusManager

2. BasePopover supports 3 sizes: small(s), medium(m) & large(l).

3. 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:

1. open
2. placement
3. outOfFlow
4. flip
5. size
6. bezel
7. focusTrap
8. noOffset
9. lowOffset
10. mediumOffset
11. highOffset
12. onOpenChange
13. stretch
14. 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>
  )
}

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>

size

Size of the Popover.

| type | required | default | | ---- | -------- | ------- | | enum | false | "m" |

bezel

Adds padding on all sides.

• 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
