oui-float

Vue components that float. Based on floating-ui.

[!NOTE] oui componentents are headless i.e. they do not come with CSS by default. These examples import CSS syles, but you are free to do it from scratch as well.

Basic popovers

oui-float takes care of most things and is the most general solution for having floating elements attached to some other element. Basic example:

<script>
import { ref } from 'vue'
import { OuiFloat } from 'oui-float'

import 'oui-float/css'

const button = ref()
const show = ref(false)
</script>

<template>
  <button ref="button" @click="show = !show">
    Click me
  </button>
  <oui-float v-model="show" :reference="button">
    This is the popover
  </oui-float>
</template>

You can set your own CSS class via class attribute, the default it oui-float. The element floating content is wrapped in a structure like this, where the arrow part is only there if :arrow="true" is set:

<div class="oui-float _float">
  <div class="_float_arrow"></div>
  <div class="_float_content"><slot /><div>
</div>

Dropdown

Even simple is defining a dropdown where the click area and the floating part can be defined in one step:

<template>
  <oui-float>
    This floats
    <template #click>
      Click here!
    </template>
  </oui-float>
</template>

Tooltips

As a convenience tooltips can be used without a hassle. Just place the activator somewhere in your project, best in your main App.vue like this:

<oui-tooltip-activator />

Then each HTML element with a tooltip attribute will show the tooltip on mouse over:

<p>
Italic text has a <i tooltip="Hey, you found it :)">tooltip</i>.
