ion-popover

A Popover is a dialog that appears on top of the current page. It can be used for anything, but generally it is used for overflow actions that don't fit in the navigation bar.

Creating

Popovers can be created using a Popover Controller. They can be customized by passing popover options in the popover controller's create method.

Presenting

To present a popover, call the present method on a popover instance. In order to position the popover relative to the element clicked, a click event needs to be passed into the options of the the present method. If the event is not passed, the popover will be positioned in the center of the viewport.

Usage

Angular

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { PopoverController } from '@ionic/angular';
import { PopoverComponent } from '../../component/popover/popover.component';

@Component({
  selector: 'popover-example',
  templateUrl: 'popover-example.html',
  styleUrls: ['./popover-example.css']
})
export class PopoverExample {
  constructor(public popoverController: PopoverController) {}

  async presentPopover(ev: any) {
    const popover = await this.popoverController.create({
      component: PopoverComponent,
      event: ev,
      translucent: true
    });
    return await popover.present();
  }
}

Javascript

async function presentPopover(ev) {
  const popoverController = document.querySelector('ion-popover-controller');
  await popoverController.componentOnReady();

  const popover = await popoverController.create({
    component: 'popover-example-page',
    translucent: true
    event: ev,
  });
  return await popover.present();
}
