Popover component

To implement Popover component into your project you’ll need to add the import:

import Popover from "@kiwicom/orbit-components/lib/Popover";

After adding import to your project you can use it simply like:

<Popover content="Your content">
  <Button />
</Popover>

Props

The table below contains all types of props available in the Popover component.

Name	Type	Default	Description
actions	`React.Node`		Actions to display in the Popover See Functional specs.
content	`React.Node`		The content to display in the Popover.
children	`React.Node`		The reference element where the Popover will appear.
dataTest	`string`		Optional prop for testing purposes.
id	`string`		Set `id` for `Popover`
offset	`offset`	`{left: 0, top: 0}`	Optional prop to set position offset
fixed	`boolean`		Changes position to fixed from absolute, good for use in sticky components.
noPadding	`boolean`	`true`	Adds or removes padding around popover’s content.
opened	`boolean`		Prop for programmatically controlling Popover inner state. If `opened` is present open triggers are ignored.
overlapped	`boolean`	`false`	If `true`, the content of Popover will overlap the trigger children.
renderInPortal	`boolean`	`true`	Optional prop, set it to `false` if you’re rendering Popover inside a custom portal, defaults to `true`
width	`string`		Width of popover, if undefined, it is set to `auto`.
maxHeight	`string`		The maximum height of the content of the popover, if undefined, it is set to `100%`.
onClose	`() => void \\| Promise`		Function for handling onClose.
onOpen	`() => void \\| Promise`		Function for handling onOpen.
placement	`placement	`bottom-start`	12 different placements to choose from
lockScrolling	`boolean`	`true`	Whether to prevent scrolling of the rest of the page while Popover is open on mobile. This is on by default to provide a better user experience.
noFlip	`boolean`	`false`	Turns off automatic flipping of the Popover when there is not enough space
allowOverflow	`boolean`	`false`	Allows the Popover to be cut off instead of moving it while scrolling to keep it visible.
labelClose	`React.Node`	`Close`	The label for close button.
renderTimeout	`number`	`0`	The timeout for rendering the Popover.
zIndex	`number`	`710`	The zIndex value of the Popover component.
ariaLabel	`string`		Optional prop for `aria-label` value.
ariaLabelledby	`string`		Optional prop for `aria-labelledby` value.

Functional specs

Whenever event onClick fires, the script inside this component will calculate possible positions that can be applied and the first possible will be applied.
You can prefer one position that will be used if possible, otherwise the default order in enum table will be used.
You can prefer align that will be used if possible, otherwise the default order in enum table will be used.
Actions are a way to override default close behavior with your own actions, mainly Buttons keep in mind that one of the actions should close the popover.
The Popover component supports rendering of many different components inside its children. You can use a combination of e.g. Text, Stack, ListChoice for example:

<Popover
  content={
    <React.Fragment>
      <ListChoice
        title="Choice Title"
        description="Further description"
        icon={<Accommodation />}
        onClick={action}
      />
      <ListChoice
        title="Choice Title"
        description="Further description"
        icon={<Accommodation />}
        onClick={action}
      />
      <ListChoice
        title="Choice Title"
        description="Further description"
        icon={<Accommodation />}
        onClick={action}
      />
    </React.Fragment>
  }
>
  <Button>Open Popover</Button>
</Popover>

Accessibility

The Button component inside the Popover component is the most common trigger component for the opening and closing of the popover. The Popover component includes the role="button" attribute. Ensure that the Button is set as a non-interactive component (for example, using the asComponent prop) to avoid the accessibility violation of nesting interactive controls (Interactive controls must not be nested).
The ariaLabelledby prop allows you to specify an aria-labelledby attribute for the popover content component. This attribute provides a reference to one or more elements that label the popover content. By using ariaLabelledby, the accessibility of popover component is improved and easier for users with assistive technologies to understand the context and purpose of the content.
The ariaLabel prop allows you to specify an aria-label attribute for the popover content component. This attribute provides additional information to screen readers, enhancing the accessibility of the component. By using ariaLabel, you can ensure that users who rely on assistive technologies receive the necessary context and information about the component’s purpose and functionality.
