An accessible and versatile popover component for React
npm install @accessible/popovernpm i @accessible/popover
An accessible, "batteries included", popover component for React.
- Several placement options You can render the popover anywhere! Top, top-left, bottom, center, inside, outside,
literally anywhere!
- Containment policies The popover is configured to contain itself inside the window using
a containment policy. It's also optional, so you can turn it off.
- Auto-repositioning Use the props repositionOnScroll or repositionOnResize to reposition
the popover automatically when the scroll position or size of the window changes.
- Style-agnostic You can use this component with the styling library of your choice. It
works with CSS-in-JS, SASS, plain CSS, plain style objects, anything!
- Portal-friendly The popover will render into React portals of your choice when configured
to do so.
- a11y/aria-compliant This component works with screen readers out of the box and manages
focus for you.

#### Props
| Prop | Type | Default | Required? | Description |
| ------------------ | --------------------------------- | ----------- | --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| defaultOpen | boolean | false | No | This sets the default open state of the popover. By default the popover is closed. |boolean
| open | | undefined | No | You can control the open/closed state of the popover with this prop. When it isn't undefined, this value will take precedence over any calls to open(), close(), or toggle(). |(isOpen: boolean) => void
| onChange | | undefined | No | This callback will be invoked each time the open state changes. |boolean
| repositionOnResize | | false | No | Setting this to true will update the position of the popover when the window's dimensions change and the popover is currently open. |boolean
| repositionOnScroll | | false | No | Setting this to true will update the position of the popover when the window's scroll position changes and the popover is currently open. |ContainPolicy
| containPolicy | | "flip" | No | This tells the popover what to do when it overflows outside the dimensions of the window. By default it will flip its position on both the x and y axis to attempt to remain within the bounds of the window. See ContainPolicy for more options. |string
| id | | undefined | No | By default this component creates a unique id for you, as it is required for certain aria attributes. Supplying an id here overrides the auto id feature. |
#### ContainPolicy
| Policy | Description |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| "flip" | This will attempt to flip its position on both the x and y axis to attempt to remain within the bounds of the window. |"flipX"
| | This will attempt to flip its position on only the x axis to attempt to remain within the bounds of the window. |"flipY"
| | This will attempt to flip its position on only the y axis to attempt to remain within the bounds of the window. |function
| | You can decide what to do with the popover on your own by providing a callback with the signature Placement(placement: string, triggerRect: ClientRect, popoverRect: ClientRect) => Placement | PlacementResult where is a string returning an alternative placement and PlacementResult is an object shaped {placement: Placement, style: CSSProperties} |
This component wraps any React element and turns it into a popover target.

| closeOnEscape | | true | No | By default the popover will close when the Escape key is pressed. You can turn this off by providing false here. |string
| closedClass | | undefined | No | This class name will be applied to the child element when the popover is closed. |string
