Popover

Add small overlays of content, like those on the iPad, to any element for housing secondary information.

Example

TIP

Popovers whose both title and content are zero-length are never displayed.

Click the button below to toggle popover:

vue
<template>
  <Btn id="btn" type="primary">Popover</Btn>
  <Popover title="Title" target="#btn">
    <template #popover>
      <h1>Hello world!</h1>
    </template>
  </Popover>
</template>

<script setup>
import { Popover, Btn } from 'uiv';
</script>

Trigger target

Order to decide the popover trigger:

  1. Use target if exist.
  2. Use element in default slot with data-role="trigger" attribute if exist.
  3. Use the first element present in default slot.

A target can be:

  • Selector that can be recognized by querySelect.
  • Reference to Element.
  • Reference to Component.

Directive

You can also simply use popovers via v-popover directive:

vue
<template>
  <Btn
    v-popover="{ title: 'Title', content: 'Popover content' }"
    type="primary"
  >
    Popover
  </Btn>
</template>

<script setup>
import { popover as vPopover, Btn } from 'uiv';
</script>

With empty title

If you don't want the title of popover, just leave the title prop unset or blank.

vue
<template>
  <Btn v-popover="{ content: 'Popover without a title' }" type="primary">
    Popover
  </Btn>
</template>

<script setup>
import { popover as vPopover, Btn } from 'uiv';
</script>

Placements

Supported placements:

  • top (Default)
  • right
  • bottom
  • left
vue
<template>
  <Btn
    v-popover.left="{ title: 'Title', content: 'Popover on left' }"
    type="primary"
  >
    Left
  </Btn>
  <Btn
    v-popover.top="{ title: 'Title', content: 'Popover on top' }"
    type="primary"
  >
    Top
  </Btn>
  <Btn
    v-popover.bottom="{ title: 'Title', content: 'Popover on bottom' }"
    type="primary"
  >
    Bottom
  </Btn>
  <Btn
    v-popover.right="{ title: 'Title', content: 'Popover on right' }"
    type="primary"
  >
    Right
  </Btn>
</template>

<script setup>
import { popover as vPopover, Btn } from 'uiv';
</script>

Auto placement

Popover will try to find the best placement for displaying while auto-placement is set to true (by default) base on the default placement setting. Useful while there does not have enough space to show the entire popover content.

auto-placement try order: right -> bottom -> left -> top, and use the set one if none of these matched.

Viewport

Keeps the popover within the bounds of this element.

vue
<template>
  <div id="popover-viewport">
    <Btn
      v-popover="{
        title: 'Title',
        content: 'Popover auto',
        viewport: '#popover-viewport',
      }"
      type="primary"
    >
      Auto
    </Btn>
    <Btn
      v-popover.left="{
        title: 'Title',
        content: 'Popover on left',
        viewport: '#popover-viewport',
      }"
      type="primary"
    >
      Left
    </Btn>
    <Btn
      v-popover.top="{
        title: 'Title',
        content: 'Popover on top',
        viewport: '#popover-viewport',
      }"
      type="primary"
    >
      Top
    </Btn>
    <Btn
      v-popover.bottom="{
        title: 'Title',
        content: 'Popover on bottom',
        viewport: '#popover-viewport',
      }"

      }"
      type="primary"
    >

    </Btn>
    <Btn
      v-popover="{
