React Floater
demo
View theYou can view and edit the code for each Floater here
Usage
Install.
npm install --save react-floater
Import it into your component:
import Floater from 'react-floater';
<Floater content="This is the Floater content">
<span>click me</span>
</Floater>
And voíla!
Customization
You can use your own components to render the Floater with the prop component
.
Check WithStyledComponents.js
in the demo for an example.
If you use your own components as children
it will receive an innerRef
prop that you must set in your HTMLElement:
Stateless components don't accept refs...
const Button = ({ innerRef, ...rest }) => (
<button ref={innerRef} {...rest} />
);
...
<Floater content="This is the Floater content">
<Button>click me</Button>
</Floater>
This works transparently with styled-components (and possible other modules):
const Wrapper = styled.div`
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: 500px;
line-height: 1.5;
`;
<Floater content="This is the Floater content">
<Wrapper>click me</Wrapper>
</Floater>

Modes
Default
The wrapper will trigger the events and use itself as the Floater's target.
<Floater content="This is the Floater content">
<span>click me</span>
</Floater>
Proxy
The wrapper will trigger the events but the Floater will use the target prop to position itself.
<div className="App">
<img src="some-path" />
<Floater
content="This is the Floater content"
target=".App img"
>
<span>click me</span>
</Floater>
</div>
Beacon
The same as the proxy mode but the wrapper will be positioned relative to the target
.
<div className="App">
<img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2d/Google-favicon-2015.png" width="100" className="my-super-image" />
<Floater
content="This is the Floater content"
target=".my-super-image"
wrapperOptions={{
offset: -22,
placement: 'top',
position: true,
}}
>
<span style={{ color: '#f04', fontSize: 34 }}>◉</span>
</Floater>
</div>
Controlled
When you set a boolean to the open
prop it will enter the controlled mode and it will not respond to events.
In this mode you don't even need to have children
<div className="App">
<img src="some-path" />
<Floater
content="This is the Floater content"
open={true}
target=".App img"
/>
</div>
