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>
)

Controlled HoverCard

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>
    </>
  )
}

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>
)

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:
