Hover Card

A card that appears when a user hovers over an element.

Anatomy

To set up the hover card correctly, you'll need to understand its anatomy and how we name its parts.

Each part includes a data-part attribute to help identify them in the DOM.

Examples

Learn how to use the HoverCard component in your project. Let's take a look at the most basic example:

import { HoverCard, Portal } from '@ark-ui/react'

export const Basic = () => (
  <HoverCard.Root>
    <HoverCard.Trigger>Hover me</HoverCard.Trigger>
    <Portal>
      <HoverCard.Positioner>
        <HoverCard.Content>
          <HoverCard.Arrow>
            <HoverCard.ArrowTip />
          </HoverCard.Arrow>
          Content
        </HoverCard.Content>
      </HoverCard.Positioner>
    </Portal>
  </HoverCard.Root>
)

import { Portal } from 'solid-js/web'
import { HoverCard } from '@ark-ui/solid'

export const Basic = () => (
  <HoverCard.Root>
    <HoverCard.Trigger>Hover me</HoverCard.Trigger>
    <Portal>
      <HoverCard.Positioner>
        <HoverCard.Content>
          <HoverCard.Arrow>
            <HoverCard.ArrowTip />
          </HoverCard.Arrow>
          Content
        </HoverCard.Content>
      </HoverCard.Positioner>
    </Portal>
  </HoverCard.Root>
)

<script setup lang="ts">
import { HoverCard } from '@ark-ui/vue'
</script>

<template>
  <HoverCard.Root>
    <HoverCard.Trigger>Hover me</HoverCard.Trigger>
    <Teleport to="body">
      <HoverCard.Positioner>
        <HoverCard.Content>
          <HoverCard.Arrow>
            <HoverCard.ArrowTip />
          </HoverCard.Arrow>
          Content
        </HoverCard.Content>
      </HoverCard.Positioner>
    </Teleport>
  </HoverCard.Root>
</template>

The controlled HoverCard component provides an interface for managing the state of the hover card using the open and onOpenChange props:

import { useState } from 'react'
import { HoverCard, Portal } from '@ark-ui/react'

export const Controlled = () => {
  const [isOpen, setOpen] = useState(false)
  return (
    <>
      <button type="button" onClick={() => setOpen(!isOpen)}>
        click me
      </button>
      <HoverCard.Root open={isOpen} onOpenChange={() => setOpen(false)}>
        <HoverCard.Trigger>Hover me</HoverCard.Trigger>
        <Portal>
          <HoverCard.Positioner>
            <HoverCard.Content>
              <HoverCard.Arrow>
                <HoverCard.ArrowTip />
              </HoverCard.Arrow>
              Content
            </HoverCard.Content>
          </HoverCard.Positioner>
        </Portal>
      </HoverCard.Root>
    </>
  )
}

import { createSignal } from 'solid-js'
import { Portal } from 'solid-js/web'
import { HoverCard } from '@ark-ui/solid'

export const Controlled = () => {
  const [isOpen, setOpen] = createSignal(false)
  return (
    <>
      <button type="button" onClick={() => setOpen(!isOpen)}>
        click me
      </button>
      <HoverCard.Root open={isOpen()} onOpenChange={() => setOpen(false)}>
        <HoverCard.Trigger>Hover me</HoverCard.Trigger>
        <Portal>
          <HoverCard.Positioner>
            <HoverCard.Content>
              <HoverCard.Arrow>
                <HoverCard.ArrowTip />
              </HoverCard.Arrow>
              Content
            </HoverCard.Content>
          </HoverCard.Positioner>
        </Portal>
      </HoverCard.Root>
    </>
  )
}

<script setup lang="ts">
import { ref } from 'vue'
import { HoverCard } from '@ark-ui/vue'

const open = ref(false)
</script>

<template>
  <button @click="() => (open = true)">Open Dialog</button>
  <HoverCard.Root v-model:open="open">
    <HoverCard.Trigger>Hover me</HoverCard.Trigger>
    <Teleport to="body">
      <HoverCard.Positioner>
        <HoverCard.Content>
          <HoverCard.Arrow>
            <HoverCard.ArrowTip />
          </HoverCard.Arrow>
          Content
        </HoverCard.Content>
      </HoverCard.Positioner>
    </Teleport>
  </HoverCard.Root>
</template>

Custom Positioning

The HoverCard component can be customized in its placement and distance from the trigger element through the positioning prop:

import { HoverCard, Portal } from '@ark-ui/react'

export const Positioning = () => (
  <HoverCard.Root positioning={{ placement: 'right', gutter: 12 }}>
    <HoverCard.Trigger>Hover me</HoverCard.Trigger>
    <Portal>
      <HoverCard.Positioner>
        <HoverCard.Content>
          <HoverCard.Arrow>
            <HoverCard.ArrowTip />
          </HoverCard.Arrow>
          Content
        </HoverCard.Content>
      </HoverCard.Positioner>
    </Portal>
  </HoverCard.Root>
)

import { Portal } from 'solid-js/web'
import { HoverCard } from '@ark-ui/solid'

export const Positioning = () => (
  <HoverCard.Root positioning={{ placement: 'right', gutter: 12 }}>
    <HoverCard.Trigger>Hover me</HoverCard.Trigger>
    <Portal>
      <HoverCard.Positioner>
        <HoverCard.Content>
          <HoverCard.Arrow>
            <HoverCard.ArrowTip />
          </HoverCard.Arrow>
          Content
        </HoverCard.Content>
      </HoverCard.Positioner>
    </Portal>
  </HoverCard.Root>
)

<script setup lang="ts">
import { HoverCard } from '@ark-ui/vue'
</script>

<template>
  <HoverCard.Root
    :positioning="{
      placement: 'right',
      gutter: 12,
    }"
  >
    <HoverCard.Trigger>Hover me</HoverCard.Trigger>
    <Teleport to="body">
      <HoverCard.Positioner>
        <HoverCard.Content>
          <HoverCard.Arrow>
            <HoverCard.ArrowTip />
          </HoverCard.Arrow>
          Content
        </HoverCard.Content>
      </HoverCard.Positioner>
    </Teleport>
  </HoverCard.Root>
</template>

Render Prop Usage

The HoverCard component can also accept a render prop, giving the user more control over rendering behavior. This is useful for dynamically updating the trigger based on the state of the HoverCard:

import { HoverCard, Portal } from '@ark-ui/react'

export const RenderProp = () => (
  <HoverCard.Root>
    <HoverCard.Context>
      {(hoverCard) => <HoverCard.Trigger>Hover me {hoverCard.open ? '▲' : '▼'} </HoverCard.Trigger>}
    </HoverCard.Context>
    <Portal>
      <HoverCard.Positioner>
        <HoverCard.Content>
          <HoverCard.Arrow>
            <HoverCard.ArrowTip />
          </HoverCard.Arrow>
          Content
        </HoverCard.Content>
      </HoverCard.Positioner>
    </Portal>
  </HoverCard.Root>
)

import { Portal } from 'solid-js/web'
import { HoverCard } from '@ark-ui/solid'

export const RenderProp = () => (
  <HoverCard.Root>
    <HoverCard.Context>
      {(context) => <HoverCard.Trigger>Hover me {context().open ? '▲' : '▼'} </HoverCard.Trigger>}
    </HoverCard.Context>
    <Portal>
      <HoverCard.Positioner>
        <HoverCard.Content>
          <HoverCard.Arrow>
            <HoverCard.ArrowTip />
          </HoverCard.Arrow>
          Content
        </HoverCard.Content>
      </HoverCard.Positioner>
    </Portal>
  </HoverCard.Root>
)

<script setup lang="ts">
import { HoverCard } from '@ark-ui/vue'
</script>

<template>
  <HoverCard.Root>
    <HoverCard.Context v-slot="hoverCard">
      <HoverCard.Trigger>Hover me {{ hoverCard.open ? '▲' : '▼' }}</HoverCard.Trigger>
    </HoverCard.Context>
    <Teleport to="body">
      <HoverCard.Positioner>
        <HoverCard.Content>
          <HoverCard.Arrow>
            <HoverCard.ArrowTip />
          </HoverCard.Arrow>
          Content
        </HoverCard.Content>
      </HoverCard.Positioner>
    </Teleport>
  </HoverCard.Root>
