## React Popper
[](https://badge.fury.io/js/react-popper)
[](https://david-dm.org/souporserious/react-popper)
React wrapper around [PopperJS](https://github.com/FezVrasta/popper.js/).
## Install
`npm install react-popper --save`
```html
(UMD library exposed as `ReactPopper`)
```
## Usage
```js
import { Manager, Target, Popper, Arrow } from 'react-popper'
const PopperExample = () => (
Target Box
Left Content
Right Content
)
```
## Usage w/ child function
This is a useful way to interact with custom components. Just make sure you pass down the refs properly.
```js
import { Manager, Target, Popper, Arrow } from 'react-popper'
const PopperExample = () => (
{({ targetProps }) => (
Target Box
)}
{({ popperProps, restProps }) => (
Popper Content
{({ arrowProps, restProps }) => (
)}
)}
)
```
## `Shared Props`
`Target`, `Popper`, and `Arrow` all share the following props
#### `component`: PropTypes.oneOfType([PropTypes.node, PropTypes.func])
A valid DOM tag or custom component to render. If using a custom component, an `innerRef` prop will be passed down that **must** be attached to the child component ref.
#### `innerRef`: PropTypes.func
Use this prop to access the internal ref. Does not apply to the `Manager` component since we do not interact with its ref.
## `Manager`
This is a special component that provides the `Target` component to the `Popper` component. Pass any props as you normally would here.
#### `tag`: PropTypes.oneOfType([PropTypes.string, PropTypes.bool])
A valid DOM tag to render. Allows rendering just children by passing `false`. Once React 16 is out, this prop will most likely go away since we will be able to return an array and all this currently does is subscribe `Target` and `Popper`.
## `Target`
This is just a simple component that subscribes to `PopperManager`, so `Popper` can make use of it. Again, pass any props as you normally would here.
Each `Target` must be wrapped in a `Manager`, and each `Manager` can wrap only one `Target`.
#### `children`: PropTypes.oneOfType([PropTypes.node, PropTypes.func])
A `Target`'s child may be one of the following:
- a React element[s]
- a function accepting the following object (all props must be passed down in order for the PopperJS to work properly)
```js
{
targetProps: {
ref // a function that accepts the target component as an argument
},
restProps // any other props that came through the Target component
}
```
## `Popper`
Your popper that gets attached to the `Target` component.
Each `Popper` must be wrapped in a `Manager`, and each `Manager` can wrap multiple `Popper` components.
#### `placement`: PropTypes.oneOf(Popper.placements)
#### `eventsEnabled`: PropTypes.bool
#### `modifiers`: PropTypes.object
Passes respective options to a new [Popper instance](https://github.com/FezVrasta/popper.js/blob/master/docs/_includes/popper-documentation.md#new-popperreference-popper-options). As for `onCreate` and `onUpdate`, these callbacks were intentionally left out in favor of using the [component lifecycle methods](https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/react-component.html#the-component-lifecycle). If you have a good use case for these please feel free to file and issue and I will consider adding them in.
#### `children`: PropTypes.oneOfType([PropTypes.node, PropTypes.func])
A `Popper`'s child may be one of the following:
- a React element[s]
- a function accepting the following object (all props must be passed down in order for the PopperJS to work properly)
```js
{
popperProps: {
ref, // a function that accepts the popper component as an argument
style, // the styles to apply to the popper element
['data-placement'] // the placement of the Popper
},
restProps // any other props that came through the Popper component
}
```
## `Arrow`
Another component that subscribes to the `Popper` component as an [arrow modifier](https://github.com/FezVrasta/popper.js/blob/master/docs/_includes/popper-documentation.md#Modifiers.arrow). Must be a child of `Popper`.
#### `children`: PropTypes.oneOfType([PropTypes.node, PropTypes.func])
An `Arrow`'s child may be one of the following:
- a React element[s]
- a function accepting the following object (all props must be passed down in order for the PopperJS to work properly)
```js
{
arrowProps: {
ref, // a function that accepts the arrow component as an argument
style // the styles to apply to the arrow element
},
restProps // any other props that came through the Arrow component
}
```
