SourceStorybookRecipeArk

Setup

If you don't already have the snippet, run the following command to add the popover snippet

npx @chakra-ui/cli snippet add popover

The snippet includes component compositions based on the Popover component.

Usage

import {
  PopoverBody,
  PopoverContent,
  PopoverRoot,
  PopoverTitle,
  PopoverTrigger,
} from "@/components/ui/popover"
<PopoverRoot>
  <PopoverTrigger />
  <PopoverContent>
    <PopoverBody>
      <PopoverTitle />
    </PopoverBody>
  </PopoverContent>
</PopoverRoot>

Examples

Controlled

Use the open and onOpenChange to control the visibility of the popover.

Sizes

Use the size prop to change the size of the popover component.

Lazy Mount

Use the lazyMounted and/or unmountOnExit prop to defer the mounting of the popover content until it's opened.

Placement

Use the positioning.placement prop to configure the underlying floating-ui positioning logic.

Offset

Use the positioning.offset prop to adjust the position of the popover content.

Same Width

Use the positioning.sameWidth prop to make the popover content the same width as the trigger.

Nested Popover

When nesting overlay elements like popover, select, menu, inside of the popover, set portalled=false on them.

Here's an example of a popover inside another popover.

Initial Focus

Use the initialFocusEl prop to set the initial focus of the popover content.

Form

Here's an example of a popover with a form inside.

Custom Background

Use the --popover-bg CSS variable to change the background color of the popover content and its arrow.

Without Snippet

If you don't want to use the snippet, you can use the Popover component from the @chakra-ui/react package.
