Popper

Members

dataObject

The dataObject is an object containing all the information used by Popper.js. This object is passed to modifiers and to the onCreate and onUpdate callbacks.

referenceObject

The referenceObject is an object that provides an interface compatible with Popper.js and lets you use it as replacement of a real DOM node.
You can use this method to position a popper relatively to a set of coordinates in case you don't have a DOM node to use as reference.

new Popper(referenceObject, popperNode);

NB: This feature isn't supported in Internet Explorer 10.

Objects

modifiers : object

Modifiers are plugins used to alter the behavior of your poppers.
Popper.js uses a set of 9 modifiers to provide all the basic functionalities needed by the library.

Usually you don't want to override the order, fn and onLoad props. All the other properties are configurations that could be tweaked.

Functions

getWindow(element)Window

Get the window associated with the element

ModifierFn(data, options)dataObject

Modifier function, each modifier can have a function of this type assigned to its fn property.
These functions will be called on each update, this means that you must make sure they are performant enough to avoid performance bottlenecks.

Typedefs

onUpdate : function
onCreate : function

Popper

Kind: global class

new Popper(reference, popper, options)

Creates a new Popper.js instance.

Returns: Object - instance - The generated Popper.js instance

Param Type Description
reference HTMLElement | referenceObject The reference element used to position the popper
popper HTMLElement The HTML element used as the popper
options Object Your custom options to override the ones defined in Defaults

Popper.Defaults : Object

Default options provided to Popper.js constructor.
These can be overridden using the options argument of Popper.js.
To override an option, simply pass an object with the same structure of the options object, as the 3rd argument. For example:

new Popper(ref, pop, {
  modifiers: {
    preventOverflow: { enabled: false }
  }
})

Kind: static property of Popper

Defaults.placement

Defaults.onCreate()

Callback called when the popper is created.
By default, it is set to no-op.
Access Popper.js instance with data.instance.

Kind: static method of Defaults
Properties

Type
onCreate

Defaults.onUpdate()

By default, it is set to no-op.
Access Popper.js instance with data.instance.

Kind: static method of Defaults
Properties

Type
onUpdate

Popper.placements : enum

List of accepted placements to use as values of the placement option.
Valid placements are:

  • auto
  • top
  • right
  • bottom
  • left

Each placement can have a variation from this list:

  • -start
  • -end

Variations are interpreted easily if you think of them as the left to right written languages. Horizontally (top and bottom), start is left and end is right.
Vertically (left and right), start is top and end is bottom.

Some valid examples are:

  • top-end (on top of reference, right aligned)
  • right-start (on right of reference, top aligned)
  • bottom (on bottom, centered)
  • auto-end (on the side with more space available, alignment depends by placement)

Kind: static enum of Popper
Read only: true

Popper.update()

modifiers : object

Modifiers are plugins used to alter the behavior of your poppers.
Popper.js uses a set of 9 modifiers to provide all the basic functionalities needed by the library.

Usually you don't want to override the order, fn and onLoad props. All the other properties are configurations that could be tweaked.

Kind: global namespace

modifiers~shift

Modifier used to shift the popper on the start or end of its reference element.
It will read the variation of the placement property.
It can be one either -end or -start.

Kind: inner property of modifiers

Kind: static property of shift
Properties

Name Type Default Description
order number 100 Index used to define the order of execution

shift.enabled

Kind: static property of shift
Properties

Name Type Default Description
enabled Boolean true Whether the modifier is enabled or not

shift.fn

Kind: static property of shift
Properties

Type
ModifierFn

modifiers~offset

The offset modifier can shift your popper on both its axis.

It accepts the following units:

  • px or unit-less, interpreted as pixels
  • % or %r, percentage relative to the length of the reference element
  • %p, percentage relative to the length of the popper element
  • vw, CSS viewport width unit
  • vh, CSS viewport height unit

For length is intended the main axis relative to the placement of the popper.
This means that if the placement is top or bottom, the length will be the width. In case of left or right, it will be the height.

You can provide a single value (as Number or String), or a pair of values as String divided by a comma or one (or more) white spaces.
The latter is a deprecated method because it leads to confusion and will be removed in v2.
Additionally, it accepts additions and subtractions between different units. Note that multiplications and divisions aren't supported.

Valid examples are:

10
'10%'
'10, 10'
'10%, 10'
'10 + 10%'
'10 - 5vh + 3%'
'-10px + 5vh, 5px - 6%'

NB: If you desire to apply offsets to your poppers in a way that may make them overlap with their reference element, unfortunately, you will have to disable the flip modifier. You can read more on this at this issue.

modifiers~preventOverflow

Modifier used to prevent the popper from being positioned outside the boundary.

A scenario exists where the reference itself is not within the boundaries.
We can say it has "escaped the boundaries" — or just "escaped".
In this case we need to decide whether the popper should either:

  • detach from the reference and remain "trapped" in the boundaries, or
  • if it should ignore the boundary and "escape with its reference"

When escapeWithReference is set totrue and reference is completely outside its boundaries, the popper will overflow (or completely leave) the boundaries in order to remain attached to the edge of the reference.

modifiers~keepTogether

Modifier used to make sure the reference and its popper stay near each other without leaving any gap between the two.

modifiers~computeStyle

Computes the style that will be applied to the popper element to gets properly positioned.

Note that this modifier will not touch the DOM, it just prepares the styles so that applyStyle modifier can apply it. This separation is useful in case you need to replace applyStyle with a custom implementation.

This modifier has 850 as order value to maintain backward compatibility with previous versions of Popper.js. Expect the modifiers ordering method to change in future major versions of the library.

Kind: static property of computeStyle
Properties

Name Type Default Description
x string "'left'" Where to anchor the Y axis (left or right). AKA Y offset origin. Change this if your popper should grow in a direction different from right

modifiers~applyStyle

Applies the computed styles to the popper element.

All the DOM manipulations are limited to this modifier. This is useful in case you want to integrate Popper.js inside a framework or view library and you want to delegate all the DOM manipulations to it.

Note that if you disable this modifier, you must make sure the popper element has its position set to absolute before Popper.js can do its work!

Just disable this modifier and define your own to achieve the desired effect.
