API

export default Popover(props, target)

props :: {…​}

---

body :: Node | Array Node

The popover content. Content is rooted (becomes children of) .Popover-body and thus body can be a single node or an array of `nodes`.

---

isOpen :: Boolean

Determines Whether or not the popover is rendered.

---

preferPlace :: Enum String | Null

Sets a preference of where to position the Popover. Only useful to specify placement in case of multiple available fits. Defaults to null. Valid values are:

above | right | below | left

Prefer an explicit side.

row | column

Prefer an orientation.

start | end

Prefer an order.

null

No preference, automatic resolution. This is the default.

---

place :: String | Null

Like preferPlace except that the given place is a requirement. The resolver becomes scoped or disabled. It is scoped if the place is an orientation or order but disabled if it is a side. For example place: "row" scopes the resolver to above or below placement but place: "above" removes any need for the resolver.

---

onOuterAction :: (Event) → Void

A callback function executed every time the user does an action (mousedown or touchstart) outside the DOM tree of both Popover and Target. A canonical use-case is to automatically close the Popover on any external user action.

---

refreshIntervalMs :: Number | Falsey

The polling speed (AKA time between each poll) in milliseconds for checking if a layout refresh is required. This polling is required because it is the only robust way to track the position of a target in the DOM. Defaults to 200. Set to a falsey value to disable.

---

Standard

• Properties like className and style.

---

target :: React Element

• The React Element that this popover will orient itself around. target rendering tree is unaffected. Popover will become its owner.
