Use the popover component to show detailed information inside a pop-up box relative to the element that is being clicked or hovered based on multiple styles

Use the popover component to show detailed information inside a pop-up box relative to the element that is being clicked or hovered based on multiple styles

Get started with the popover component to show any type of content inside a pop-up box when hovering or clicking over a trigger element. There are multiple examples that you can choose from, such as showing more information about a user profile, company profile, password strength, and more.

Before using the popover component, make sure to import the component in your React project:

import { Popover } from "flowbite-react";

Default popover#

Wrap the trigger component with the <Popover> component and pass the popover content to the content prop of the <Popover> component.

This will render the popover whenever you click the trigger component.

import { Button, Popover } from "flowbite-react";

  return (
    <Popover
      aria-labelledby="default-popover"

Placement#

Update the placement of the popover using the placement prop. The default placement is bottom and you can also use right, top, and left.

Edit on GitHub
import { Button, Popover } from "flowbite-react";

export function Component() {
  const content = (
    <div className="w-64 text-sm text-gray-500 dark:text-gray-400">
      <div className="border-b border-gray-200 bg-gray-100 px-3 py-2 dark:border-gray-600 dark:bg-gray-700">
        <h3 className="font-semibold text-gray-900 dark:text-white">Popover title</h3>

        <p>And here's some amazing content. It's very engaging. Right?</p>
      </div>
    </div>
  );

  return (
    <div className="flex gap-2">
      <Popover content={content} placement="top">
        <Button>Popover top</Button>
      </Popover>
      <Popover content={content} placement="right">

      <Popover content={content} placement="left">
        <Button>Popover left</Button>
      </Popover>
    </div>
  );
}

Trigger type#

Use the trigger prop to change the trigger type of the popover if you want to show the popover when clicking on the hover element instead of clicking on it.

The default trigger type is hover and you can also use click.

Edit on GitHub
"use client";

import { Button, Popover } from "flowbite-react";

export function Component() {
  const content = (
    <div className="w-64 text-sm text-gray-500 dark:text-gray-400">
      <div className="border-b border-gray-200 bg-gray-100 px-3 py-2 dark:border-gray-600 dark:bg-gray-700">
        <h3 className="font-semibold text-gray-900 dark:text-white">Popover title</h3>
      </div>
      <div className="px-3 py-2">
        <p>And here's some amazing content. It's very engaging. Right?</p>
      </div>
    </div>
  );

  return (
    <div className="flex gap-2">
      <Popover content={content} trigger="hover">
        <Button>Popover hover</Button>
      </Popover>
      <Popover content={content} trigger="click">
        <Button>Popover click</Button>
      </Popover>
    </div>
  );
}

Disable arrow#

You can disable the arrow of the popover component by passing the arrow prop with a value of false.

Edit on GitHub
import { Button, Popover } from "flowbite-react";

export function Component() {
  return (
    <Popover
      aria-labelledby="default-popover"
      content={
