Popover

KPop is a popover component that is used when you need something with more detailed content then fits inside a tooltip. KPop has three slots; only two is necessary is to be filled to populate the component with content. The title prop must be passed in and the main slot and the content slot must be populated in for the popover to display anything.

For example a button:

html
<KPop title="Cool header">
  <KButton>button</KButton>
  <template v-slot:content>
    I am some sample text!
  </template>
</KPop>

Props

buttonText

This is the text that will be displayed on the button that triggers the popover if not using the default slot.

html
<KPop title="Cool header" buttonText="Click Me!">
  <template v-slot:content>
    You clicked me!
  </template>
</KPop>

target

This is the target element that the popover is appended to. By default its the body tag.

html
<KPop title="Cool header" target=".theme-default-content">
  <KButton>button</KButton>
  <template v-slot:content>
    I am a popover, inside the <code>.theme-default-content</code> selector so
    I can get some of the stylings inside the theme!
  </template>
</KPop>

tag

This is the tag that the popover is wrapped around. By default its the div tag.

html
<KPop title="Cool header" tag="details">
  <KButton>button</KButton>
  <template v-slot:content>I am inside a &lt;details/&gt; block!</template>
</KPop>

title

This is the Title of the popover. Either this or the title slot needs to be filled.

html
<KPop title="I am a new sample header">
  <KButton>button</KButton>
  <template v-slot:content>
    I am some sample text!
  </template>
</KPop>

or alternatively, via the slot:

html
<KPop>
  <template>
    <KButton>button</KButton>
  </template>
  <template v-slot:title>I am a new sample header</template>
  <template v-slot:content>I am some sample text!</template>
</KPop>

trigger

What the popover is triggered by - by default it's triggered on click.

Here are the different options:

  • click
  • hover
html
<KPop title="Cool header" trigger="hover">
  <KButton>button</KButton>
  <template v-slot:content>
    I am triggered on hover!
  </template>
</KPop>

placement

  • leftStart
  • leftEnd
  • right
  • rightStart
  • rightEnd

  </KPop>
</template>

  </template>
</KPop>

popoverClasses

Custom classes that you want to append to the popover - by default it has a k-popover class on it.

  <KButton>button</KButton>
  <template v-slot:content>
    I have a custom my-class class on me!
  </template>
</KPop>

popoverTransitions

Custom transitions that you want the popover to have - by default it uses a fade transition.

  <KButton>button</KButton>
  <template v-slot:content>
    I use a slide transition!
  </template>
</KPop>

popoverTimeout

Custom timeout setting that you want the popover to have - by default it is set to 300 milliseconds.

html

  <KButton>button</KButton>
  <template v-slot:content>
    I have a 1 second timeout!
  </template>
</KPop>

hidePopover

You can pass in an optional flag to trigger the popover to hide - useful for external events like zooming or panning - by default it is set to false.

html
<KPop title="Cool header" hidePopover="zoom()">
  <KButton>button</KButton>
  <template v-slot:content>
  I am hidden depending on the outcome of the zoom function!
  </template>
</KPop>

disabled

You can pass in an optional flag to disable the popover - by default it is set to false.

html

  <template v-slot:content>
    I do not trigger because I am disabled!
  </template>
</KPop>

hideCaret

You can pass in an optional flag to not show the caret on the edge of the popover.

html
<KPop title="Cool header" hide-caret placement="right">
  <KButton>button</KButton>
  <template v-slot:content>
    Look ma, no caret!
  </template>
</KPop>

onPopoverClick

You can pass in an optional callback function to trigger when the popup is already open and the trigger method is click.

The callback function can optionally return a boolean, which will show or hide the popup depending on the value of the boolean.

html
<KPop title="Cool header" :on-popover-click="toggle">
  <KButton>button</KButton>
  <template v-slot:content>
    The first time you click the button, I will close when you click here once.
    The second time you click the button, I will close when you click here twice.
  </template>
</KPop>

<script lang="ts">
import { defineComponent, ref } from 'vue'

export default defineComponent({
  setup() {
    const isToggled = ref(true)
    const toggle = (): void => {
      isToggled.value = !isToggled.value
      return isToggled.value
    }

    return { isToggled }
  }
})
</script>

isSVG

To support <KPop> being able to be used inside an svg tag, use the isSvg prop. This will wrap the content of the KPop in a <foreignObject> tag, so that normal HTML content can be injected into the popover.

html
<svg v-for="light in ['red', 'gold', 'lime']">
  <KPop trigger="hover" title="Light" :is-svg="true" tag="g" :popover-timeout="10">
    <template v-slot:content>
      <p>{{ light }} means {{ light == 'green' ? 'GO!' : (light == 'red' ? 'STOP!' : 'SLOW DOWN!') }}</p>
    </template>
    <rect :fill="`${light}`" width="20" height="20" rx="20" ry="20"></rect>
  </KPop>
</svg>
