React Reference > Popover Component

<Popover />

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. Another common way to use the popover is to display a menu when a button on the screen is tapped.

Usage 

<Page>
 <Button
   ref={(btn) => { this.btn = btn; }}
   onClick={() =>
     this.setState({target: this.btn, isOpen: true})
   }
 />
    <Popover
      isOpen={this.state.isOpen}
      onCancel={() => this.setState({isOpen: false})}
      getTarget={() => this.state.target}
    >
      <div style={{textAlign: 'center', opacity: 0.5}}>
        <p>This is a popover!</p>
          <p><small>Click the background to remove the popover.</small></p>
        </div>
        </Popover>
</Page>
