A component that displays a popover next to an element. The popover can be used to display extra information about a component or a tooltip.
To use the element it can either be attached directly to the <body> element or dynamically created from a template using the ons.createPopover(template) utility function and the <template> tag.
Another common way to use the popover is to display a menu when a button on the screen is tapped. For Material Design, popover looks exactly as a dropdown menu.
