Rich content

Overview

Popover displays rich interactive content anchored to a trigger element. Built on Base UI. Unlike tooltips, popovers can contain interactive elements like forms, buttons, and links.

tsx

import { Popover, PopoverContent, PopoverTrigger } from "@rogo-technologies/ui/popover";

<Popover>
  <PopoverTrigger>Open</PopoverTrigger>
  <PopoverContent>Content goes here</PopoverContent>
</Popover>;

Usage

Sides

Use side on PopoverContent to position the popover. It auto-flips if there isn't enough space.

tsx

<PopoverContent side="bottom">Appears below</PopoverContent>

Alignment

align controls position along the cross axis.

tsx

<PopoverContent side="bottom" align="start">…</PopoverContent>

Close button

Render PopoverClose inside the content to give the user an explicit dismiss control.

tsx

<PopoverContent className="relative">
  <PopoverClose className="absolute top-2 right-2 …">
    <IconCrossMedium className="size-4" />
  </PopoverClose>
  <p>Content here</p>
</PopoverContent>

Controlled

tsx

const [open, setOpen] = useState(false);

<Popover open={open} onOpenChange={setOpen}>
  <PopoverTrigger>Toggle</PopoverTrigger>
  <PopoverContent>
    <Button onClick={() => setOpen(false)}>Dismiss</Button>
  </PopoverContent>
</Popover>;

Composition

For advanced cases, compose lower-level primitives instead of using PopoverContent.

tsx

import {
  Popover,
  PopoverTrigger,
  PopoverPortal,
  PopoverPositioner,
  PopoverPopup,
} from "@rogo-technologies/ui/popover";

<Popover>
  <PopoverTrigger>Click me</PopoverTrigger>
  <PopoverPortal>
    <PopoverPositioner side="bottom" sideOffset={8}>
      <PopoverPopup>Custom popover content</PopoverPopup>
    </PopoverPositioner>
  </PopoverPortal>
</Popover>;

Guidelines

Do

Use popovers for interactive content that requires user action (forms, settings, menus)
Keep popover content focused on a single task
Provide a clear way to dismiss the popover (close button or clicking outside)
Use PopoverTitle and PopoverDescription for accessible labeling
Use asChild when wrapping interactive elements like buttons

Don't

Don't use popovers for simple non-interactive text — use a tooltip instead
Don't nest popovers inside popovers
Don't put critical workflow steps only inside a popover
Don't make popover content wider than the viewport on mobile
Don't use modal unless you need to trap focus for accessibility reasons
