# Popover Documentation Displays rich content in a floating panel anchored to a trigger element. This is a documentation section that potentially contains examples, demos, and other useful information related to a specific part of Bits UI. When helping users with this documentation, you can ignore the classnames applied to the demos unless they are relevant to the user's issue. Copy Page ```svelte Resize ``` ## Structure ```svelte ``` ## Managing Open State This section covers how to manage the `open` state of the component. ### Two-Way Binding Use `bind:open` for simple, automatic state synchronization: ```svelte ``` ### Fully Controlled Use a [Function Binding](https://svelte.dev/docs/svelte/bind#Function-bindings) for complete control over the state's reads and writes. ```svelte ``` ## Managing Focus ### Focus Trap By default, when a Popover is opened, focus will be trapped within that Popover. You can disable this behavior by setting the `trapFocus` prop to `false` on the `Popover.Content` component. ```svelte ``` ### Open Focus By default, when a Popover is opened, focus will be set to the first focusable element with the `Popover.Content`. This ensures that users navigating my keyboard end up somewhere within the Popover that they can interact with. You can override this behavior using the `onOpenAutoFocus` prop on the `Popover.Content` component. It's *highly* recommended that you use this prop to focus *something* within the Popover's content. You'll first need to cancel the default behavior of focusing the first focusable element by cancelling the event passed to the `onOpenAutoFocus` callback. You can then focus whatever you wish. ```svelte Open Popover { e.preventDefault(); nameInput?.focus(); }} > ``` ### Close Focus By default, when a Popover is closed, focus will be set to the trigger element of the Popover. You can override this behavior using the `onCloseAutoFocus` prop on the `Popover.Content` component. You'll need to cancel the default behavior of focusing the trigger element by cancelling the event passed to the `onCloseAutoFocus` callback, and then focus whatever you wish. ```svelte Open Popover { e.preventDefault(); nameInput?.focus(); }} > ``` ## Scroll Lock By default, when a Popover is opened, users can still scroll the body and interact with content outside of the Popover. If you wish to lock the body scroll and prevent users from interacting with content outside of the Popover, you can set the `preventScroll` prop to `true` on the `Popover.Content` component. ```svelte ``` ## Escape Keydown By default, when a Popover is open, pressing the `Escape` key will close the dialog. Bits UI provides a couple ways to override this behavior. ### escapeKeydownBehavior You can set the `escapeKeydownBehavior` prop to `'ignore'` on the `Popover.Content` component to prevent the dialog from closing when the `Escape` key is pressed. ```svelte ``` ### onEscapeKeydown You can also override the default behavior by cancelling the event passed to the `onEscapeKeydown` callback on the `Popover.Content` component. ```svelte e.preventDefault()}> ``` ## Interact Outside By default, when a Popover is open, pointer down events outside the content will close the popover. Bits UI provides a couple ways to override this behavior. ### interactOutsideBehavior You can set the `interactOutsideBehavior` prop to `'ignore'` on the `Popover.Content` component to prevent the dialog from closing when the user interacts outside the content. ```svelte ``` ### onInteractOutside You can also override the default behavior by cancelling the event passed to the `onInteractOutside` callback on the `Popover.Content` component. ```svelte e.preventDefault()}> ``` ## Custom Anchor By default, the `Popover.Content` is anchored to the `Popover.Trigger` component, which determines where the content is positioned. If you wish to instead anchor the content to a different element, you can pass either a selector `string` or an `HTMLElement` to the `customAnchor` prop of the `Popover.Content` component. ```svelte

``` ## Svelte Transitions You can use the `forceMount` prop along with the `child` snippet to forcefully mount the `Popover.Content` component to use Svelte Transitions or another animation library that requires more control. ```svelte {#snippet child({ wrapperProps, props, open })} {#if open}

{/if} {/snippet} ``` Of course, this isn't the prettiest syntax, so it's recommended to create your own reusable content component that handles this logic if you intend to use this approach. For more information on using transitions with Bits UI components, see the [Transitions](/docs/transitions) documentation. Expand Code ```svelte Resize ``` ## Overlay Component You can use the `Popover.Overlay` component to create an overlay behind the popover that appears when the popover is open. Expand Code ```svelte Resize ``` ## API Reference ### Popover.Root The root component used to manage the state of the state of the popover. | Property | Type | Description | Details | | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------- | | `open` $bindable | `boolean` | The open state of the component.`Default: false` | | | `onOpenChange` | `function` - (open: boolean) => void | A callback function called when the open state changes.`Default: —— undefined` | | | `onOpenChangeComplete` | `function` - (open: boolean) => void | A callback function called after the open state changes and all animations have completed.`Default: —— undefined` | | | `children` | `Snippet` | The children content to render.`Default: —— undefined` | | ### Popover.Trigger A component which toggles the opening and closing of the popover on press. | Property | Type | Description | Details | | --------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------- | | `ref` $bindable | `HTMLButtonElement` | The underlying DOM element being rendered.
