API Reference

Root

Contains all the parts of a popover.

PropDefaultType
defaultOpen
false
boolean

The open state of the popover when it is initially rendered. Use when you do not need to control its open state.

modal
false
boolean

The modality of the popover. When set to true, interaction with outside elements will be disabled and only popover content will be visible to screen readers.

open
boolean

The controlled open state of the popover.

EmitPayload
update:open
[value: boolean]

Event handler called when the open state of the popover changes.

Trigger

The button that toggles the popover. By default, the PopoverContent will position itself against the trigger.

PropDefaultType
as
'button'
AsTag | Component

The element or component this component should render as. Can be overwrite by asChild

asChild
boolean

Change the default rendered element for the one passed as a child, merging their props and behavior.

Read our Composition guide for more details.

Data AttributeValue
[data-state]"open" | "closed"

Anchor

An optional element to position the PopoverContent against. If this part is not used, the content will position alongside the PopoverTrigger.

PropDefaultType
as
'div'
AsTag | Component

The element or component this component should render as. Can be overwrite by asChild

asChild
boolean

Change the default rendered element for the one passed as a child, merging their props and behavior.

Read our Composition guide for more details.

element
Measurable

Portal

When used, portals the content part into the body.

PropDefaultType
disabled
boolean

Disable teleport and render the component inline

reference

forceMount
boolean

Used to force mounting when more control is needed. Useful when controlling animation with Vue animation libraries.

to
string | HTMLElement

Vue native teleport component prop :to

reference

Content

The component that pops out when the popover is open.

PropDefaultType
align
'start' | 'center' | 'end'

The preferred alignment against the trigger. May change when collisions occur.

alignOffset
number

An offset in pixels from the start or end alignment options.

arrowPadding
number

The padding between the arrow and the edges of the content. If your content has border-radius, this will prevent it from overflowing the corners.

as
'div'
AsTag | Component

The element or component this component should render as. Can be overwrite by asChild

asChild
boolean

Change the default rendered element for the one passed as a child, merging their props and behavior.

Read our Composition guide for more details.

avoidCollisions
boolean

When true, overrides the side andalign preferences to prevent collisions with boundary edges.

collisionBoundary
Element | (Element | null)[] | null

The element used as the collision boundary. By default this is the viewport, though you can provide additional element(s) to be included in this check.

collisionPadding
number | Partial<Record<'top' | 'right' | 'bottom' | 'left', number>>

The distance in pixels from the boundary edges where collision detection should occur. Accepts a number (same for all sides), or a partial padding object, for example: { top: 20, left: 20 }.

disableOutsidePointerEvents
boolean

When true, hover/focus/click interactions will be disabled on elements outside the DismissableLayer. Users will need to click twice on outside elements to interact with them: once to close the DismissableLayer, and again to trigger the element.

forceMount
boolean

Used to force mounting when more control is needed. Useful when controlling animation with Vue animation libraries.

hideWhenDetached
boolean

Whether to hide the content when the trigger becomes fully occluded.

prioritizePosition
boolean

Force content to be position within the viewport.

Might overlap the reference element, which may not be desired.

side
'top' | 'right' | 'bottom' | 'left'

The preferred side of the trigger to render against when open. Will be reversed when collisions occur and avoidCollisions is enabled.

sideOffset
number

The distance in pixels from the trigger.

sticky
'partial' | 'always'

The sticky behavior on the align axis. partial will keep the content in the boundary as long as the trigger is at least partially in the boundary whilst "always" will keep the content in the boundary regardless.

trapFocus
boolean

Whether focus should be trapped within the MenuContent

updatePositionStrategy
'always' | 'optimized'

Strategy to update the position of the floating element on every animation frame.

EmitPayload

Examples

Constrain the content size

You may want to constrain the width of the content so that it matches the trigger width. You may also want to constrain its height to not exceed the viewport.

We expose several CSS custom properties such as --radix-popover-trigger-width and --radix-popover-content-available-height to support this. Use them to constrain the content dimensions.

vue
// index.vue
<script setup>
import { PopoverArrow, PopoverClose, PopoverContent, PopoverPortal, PopoverRoot, PopoverTrigger } from 'radix-vue'
</script>

<template>
  <PopoverRoot>
    <PopoverTrigger></PopoverTrigger>
    <PopoverPortal>
      <PopoverContent class="PopoverContent" :side-offset="5">

      </PopoverContent>
    </PopoverPortal>
  </PopoverRoot>
</template>
css
/* styles.css */
.PopoverContent {
  width: var(--radix-popover-trigger-width);
  max-height: var(--radix-popover-content-available-height);
}

Origin-aware animations

We expose a CSS custom property --radix-popover-content-transform-origin. Use it to animate the content from its computed origin based on side, sideOffset, align, alignOffset and any collisions.

vue
// index.vue
<script setup>
import { PopoverArrow, PopoverClose, PopoverContent, PopoverPortal, PopoverRoot, PopoverTrigger } from 'radix-vue'
</script>

<template>
  <PopoverRoot>
    <PopoverTrigger></PopoverTrigger>
    <PopoverPortal>
      <PopoverContent class="PopoverContent">

      </PopoverContent>
    </PopoverPortal>
  </PopoverRoot>
</template>
css
/* styles.css */
.PopoverContent {
  transform-origin: var(--radix-popover-content-transform-origin);
  animation: scaleIn 0.5s ease-out;
}

@keyframes scaleIn {
  from {
    opacity: 0;
    transform: scale(0);
  }
  to {
    opacity: 1;
    transform: scale(1);
  }
}

Collision-aware animations

We expose data-side and data-align attributes. Their values will change at runtime to reflect collisions. Use them to create collision and direction-aware animations.

vue
// index.vue
<script setup>
import { PopoverArrow, PopoverClose, PopoverContent, PopoverPortal, PopoverRoot, PopoverTrigger } from 'radix-vue'
</script>

<template>
  <PopoverRoot>
    <PopoverTrigger></PopoverTrigger>
    <PopoverPortal>
      <PopoverContent class="PopoverContent">

      </PopoverContent>
    </PopoverPortal>
  </PopoverRoot>
</template>
css
/* styles.css */
.PopoverContent {
  animation-duration: 0.6s;
  animation-timing-function: cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1);
}
.PopoverContent[data-side="top"] {
  animation-name: slideUp;
}
.PopoverContent[data-side="bottom"] {
  animation-name: slideDown;
}

@keyframes slideDown {
  from {
    opacity: 0;
    transform: translateY(-10px);
  }
  to {
    opacity: 1;
    transform: translateY(0);
  }
}

@keyframes slideUp {
  from {
    opacity: 0;
    transform: translateY(10px);
  }
  to {
    opacity: 1;
    transform: translateY(0);
  }
}

With custom anchor

You can anchor the content to another element if you do not want to use the trigger as the anchor.

vue
// index.vue
<script setup>
import { PopoverAnchor, PopoverArrow, PopoverClose, PopoverContent, PopoverPortal, PopoverRoot, PopoverTrigger } from 'radix-vue'
</script>

<template>
  <PopoverRoot>
    <PopoverAnchor as-child>
      <div class="Row">
        Row as anchor <PopoverTrigger>Trigger</PopoverTrigger>
      </div>
    </PopoverAnchor>

    <PopoverPortal>
      <PopoverContent></PopoverContent>
    </PopoverPortal>
  </PopoverRoot>
</template>
css
/* styles.css */
.Row {
  background-color: gainsboro;
  padding: 20px;
}

Accessibility

Adheres to the Dialog WAI-ARIA design pattern.

Keyboard Interactions

KeyDescription
Space
Opens/closes the popover.
Enter
Opens/closes the popover.
Tab
Moves focus to the next focusable element
Shift + Tab
Moves focus to the previous focusable element
Esc
Closes the popover and moves focus to PopoverTrigger.

Custom APIs

Create your own API by abstracting the primitive parts into your own component.

Abstract the arrow and set default configuration

This example abstracts the PopoverArrow part and sets a default sideOffset configuration.
