Popover

Floating contextual panel that can contain arbitrary interactive or explanatory content.

A live, theme-aware example rendered with the published component.

Import

Import the component from its dedicated entry point to keep the dependency and generated bundle explicit.

TSX

tsximport { Popover } from "@tavojs/ui/popover";

Normal Tavo.js applications load component styles through the Tavo.js UI plugin. If the application manages component CSS manually, also import @tavojs/ui/css/popover.

When to use

Use it when

Use Popover for filters, compact forms, calendars, help, or other contextual UI anchored to a trigger.

Choose something else when

Use DropdownMenu when every item is a command, Tooltip for a short non-interactive hint, and Dialog or Sheet for a focused modal workflow.

State ownership and DOM target

Concern	Contract
State	Application controlled through open and the matching callback.
DOM target	Public passthrough props target the component root. Treat nested elements and private class names as implementation details.

Anatomy and related components

Public compound members: Root, Trigger, Content

Limitations

Use DropdownMenu when every item is a command, Tooltip for a short non-interactive hint, and Dialog or Sheet for a focused modal workflow.

Use only the documented props, entry points, and compound members. Internal DOM nesting and CSS class names can change without becoming part of the public component contract.

Accessibility

Trigger exposes `aria-haspopup="dialog"` and content uses dialog semantics.

Trigger exposes `aria-haspopup="dialog"` and content uses dialog semantics.
