Best react popover behavior ever encountered. Sample code.

Primary LanguageJavaScript

react-popover

Uses react-popper (popper.js).

Demonstrates how to create a popover menu that behaves as follows:

  • Clicking on the button that opens the menu toggles open/close of the menu.
  • Clicking anywhere outside the menu closes the menu.
  • Menu has a title and a close button so that all menus can have the same structure.
  • Can trigger closing the menu from the menu's custom contents (children).
  • React state flows well into and out of the popover menu.
  • No need for global store or any app-level changes.
  • Popover element is created in a portal (at the document body).
  • Can also use the popover directly without the popover menu structure.
  • Plus you get all of react-popper's (popper.js's) strong capabilities: preventing overflow outside the screen, popover placement and offset, etc.
