Popovers

Stylised native HTML [popover] modals with opening transition animation styles.

Examples (anchor)

The popovers expect the existence of basic reset styles for font styling and typography properties. The typography style module provides this but the styles should work with any reset/normalize document used.

Default (anchor)

Popovers have light-dismiss behaviour by default so the closing button is optional.

Examples HTML 
<button popovertarget="popover">Popover</button>
<div id="popover" popover>
  <p>The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.</p>
</div>

<button popovertarget="pop-close">With close button</button>
<div id="pop-close" popover>
  <p>The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.</p>
<button popovertarget="pop-close" popovertargetaction="hide">Close</button>
</div>

Transition (anchor)

The optional transition animation style is compiled with @media (prefers-reduced-motion: no-preference) to respect a users preferences. If included the default .25s transition timing can be customized inline using the CSS variable --popover-transition.

Examples HTML

The popover animation is enabled so the 'No transition' example uses the variable to remove the default .25s transition included to demonstrate default non-animated popovers.

<button popovertarget="popover-no-transition">No transition</button>
<div id="popover-no-transition" popover style="--popover-transition: 0s;">
  <p>The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.</p>
</div>

<button popovertarget="popover-transition">Enabled (default .25s)</button>
<div id="popover-transition" popover>
  <p>The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.</p>
</div>

<button popovertarget="popover-custom-transition">Enabled (custom 1.5s)</button>
<div id="popover-custom-transition" popover style="--popover-transition: 1.5s;">
  <p>The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.</p>
</div>

Fixed light and dark (anchor)

Example HTML 
<button popovertarget="popover-light" class="btn-light">Light popover</button>
<div class="popover-light" id="popover-light" popover>
  <p>The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.</p>
</div>

<button popovertarget="popover-dark" class="btn-dark">Dark popover</button>
<div class="popover-dark" id="popover-dark" popover>
  <p>The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.</p>
</div>

Using the module (anchor)

To use the module load the StyleMods scss directory as follows (changing the path to suit the source files location as required) then include the Sass mixin(s) anywhere below.

custom.scss 
@use "stylemods/scss" as *;
@include popovers-css;
@include popovers-animation-css;

Source code (anchor)

See customizing for information about using the Sass and CSS variables in the source code to customize the styles, and Sass functionality (on the using StyleMods page) for other ways to use the variables to create custom styles.
