Options

Positioning

The Popover can be positioned top, left, right, and bottom with each having ability to be positioned at the start, center, or end of the trigger.

Note: This option sets the preferred position of the popover to render against when open. Will be reversed when collisions occur with other elements.


Open in Playroom

Density

There are two options for the property density compact and default.


Open in Playroom

Offset

The property sideOffset can use any spacing token to offset its position from the origin point of the tooltip. The default offset is the spacing token 025.

Behavior

Avoids collisions

When close to the edge of the viewable area the side will be reversed to be visible.

Guidance

Popovers should not be used to display non-actionable ui that could otherwise live in something less persistent like a tooltip.


Open in Playroom

Do not nest Popovers or Tooltips

Popovers should not have additional tooltips or popovers within the same content container.

Accessibility

Keyboard controls

A Popover will show/hide without delay when the trigger is in focus and space/enter is selected on the keyboard. If the Popover is open and either shift+tab, or tab, is selected on the keyboard it will move focus to the next focusable element. When Esc is selected on the keyboard it will close the popover and move the focus to the trigger.
