Popup

A popup displays brief content in an overlay.

Install

One package and one stylesheet. The stylesheet carries the tokens every component reads.

pnpm add @wolf-rayet/react
import '@wolf-rayet/react/css/wolf-rayet.css';
import { Popup } from '@wolf-rayet/react';

Props

A required prop is marked with an asterisk.

PropTypeDefaultDescription
isOpen *boolean—Whether the popup is shown. The open state belongs to you.
onClose *() => void—Called on Escape and on a click outside.
trigger *(props: { 'aria-expanded': boolean; 'aria-haspopup': true; onClick: () => void }) => ReactNode—A function returning the element the popup hangs off. The props it is given must be spread onto that element, because they carry the expanded state.
content *ReactNode—What appears in the surface.
placement'bottom-start' | 'bottom-end' | 'top-start' | 'top-end''bottom-start'Which corner it opens from. It flips when there is no room.
isDialogboolean—Pads the surface for prose. Leave it off for a menu, which brings its own padding.
labelstring—Names the surface for assistive technology when it holds a dialog rather than a menu.

Accessibility

What the component does for you, and what it needs from you.

  • The props handed to the trigger carry the expanded state and must be spread onto it, or the button never announces that it opens something.
  • Escape closes the popup and focus goes back to the trigger.
  • Focus stays inside while it is open, so a keyboard reader does not fall through to the page behind.
  • The surface shadow gains a hairline ring in dark, because a shadow alone does not separate it from the page there.
