Popup
[component-header:sl-popup]
Popup is a utility that lets you declaratively anchor "popup" containers to another element.
This component's name is inspired by <popup>
. It uses Floating UI under the hood to provide a well-tested, lightweight, and fully declarative positioning utility for tooltips, dropdowns, and more.
Popup doesn't provide any styles — just positioning! The popup's preferred placement, distance, and skidding (offset) can be configured using attributes. An arrow that points to the anchor can be shown and customized to your liking. Additional positioning options are available and described in more detail below.

?> A popup's anchor should not be styled with display: contents
since the coordinates will not be eligible for calculation. However, if the anchor is a <slot>
element, popup will use the first assigned element as the anchor. This behavior allows other components to pass anchors through more easily via composition.
Examples
Active
Popups are inactive and hidden until the active
attribute is applied. Removing the attribute will tear down all positioning logic and listeners, meaning you can have many idle popups on the page without affecting performance.
<div class="popup-active">

</>
);
};
Placement
Use the placement
attribute to tell the popup the preferred placement of the popup. Note that the actual position will vary to ensure the panel remains in the viewport if you're using positioning features such as flip
and shift
.
Since placement is preferred when using flip
, you can observe the popup's current placement when it's active by looking at the data-current-placement
attribute. This attribute will update as the popup flips to find available space and it will be removed when the popup is deactivated.

Distance
Use the distance
attribute to change the distance between the popup and its anchor. A positive value will move the popup further away and a negative value will move it closer.
<div class="popup-distance">
<sl-popup placement="top" distance="0" active>
<span slot="anchor"></span>
<div class="box"></div>
</sl-popup>
<sl-range min="-50" max="50" step="1" value="0" label="Distance"></sl-range>
</div>
<style>
.popup-distance span[slot='anchor'] {
display: inline-block;
width: 150px;
height: 150px;
border: dashed 2px var(--sl-color-neutral-600);
margin: 50px;
}
.popup-distance .box {
width: 100px;
height: 50px;
background: var(--sl-color-primary-600);
border-radius: var(--sl-border-radius-medium);
}
.popup-distance sl-range {
max-width: 260px;
}
</style>
<script>
const container = document.querySelector('.popup-distance');
const popup = container.querySelector('sl-popup');
const distance = container.querySelector('sl-range');
distance.addEventListener('sl-change', () => (popup.distance = distance.value));

margin: 50px;
}
.popup-distance .box {
width: 100px;
height: 50px;
background: var(--sl-color-primary-600);
border-radius: var(--sl-border-radius-medium);
}
.popup-distance sl-range {
max-width: 260px;
}
`;
const App = () => {
const [distance, setDistance] = useState(0);
return (

<div className="popup-distance">
<SlPopup placement="top" distance={distance} active>
<span slot="anchor" />
<div class="box" />
</SlPopup>
<SlRange

max="50"
step="1"

onSlChange={event => setDistance(event.target.value)}
/>
</div>
<style>{css}</style>
</>
);
};
Skidding
The skidding
attribute is similar to distance
, but instead allows you to offset the popup along the anchor's axis. Both positive and negative values are allowed.
<div class="popup-skidding">
<sl-popup placement="top" skidding="0" active>
<span slot="anchor"></span>
<div class="box"></div>
</sl-popup>
<sl-range min="-50" max="50" step="1" value="0" label="Skidding"></sl-range>
</div>
<style>
.popup-skidding span[slot='anchor'] {
display: inline-block;
width: 150px;
height: 150px;
border: dashed 2px var(--sl-color-neutral-600);
margin: 50px;
}
.popup-skidding .box {
width: 100px;
height: 50px;
background: var(--sl-color-primary-600);
border-radius: var(--sl-border-radius-medium);
}
.popup-skidding sl-range {
max-width: 260px;
}
</style>
<script>
const container = document.querySelector('.popup-skidding');
const popup = container.querySelector('sl-popup');
const skidding = container.querySelector('sl-range');
skidding.addEventListener('sl-change', () => (popup.skidding = skidding.value));
</script>

Arrows
Add an arrow to your popup with the arrow
attribute. It's usually a good idea to set a distance
to make room for the arrow. To adjust the arrow's color and size, use the --arrow-color
and --arrow-size
custom properties, respectively. You can also target the arrow
part to add additional styles such as shadows and borders.
<div class="popup-arrow">
<sl-popup placement="top" arrow distance="8" active>
<span slot="anchor"></span>
<div class="box"></div>
</sl-popup>
<br />
<sl-switch checked>Arrow</sl-switch>
</div>
<style>
.popup-arrow sl-popup {
--arrow-color: var(--sl-color-primary-600);
}
.popup-arrow span[slot='anchor'] {
display: inline-block;
width: 150px;
height: 150px;
border: dashed 2px var(--sl-color-neutral-600);
margin: 50px;
}
.popup-arrow .box {
width: 100px;
height: 50px;
background: var(--sl-color-primary-600);
border-radius: var(--sl-border-radius-medium);
}
</style>
<script>
const container = document.querySelector('.popup-arrow');
const popup = container.querySelector('sl-popup');
const arrow = container.querySelector('sl-switch');
arrow.addEventListener('sl-change', () => (popup.arrow = arrow.checked));
</script>
import { useState } from 'react';
import { SlPopup, SlSwitch } from '@shoelace-style/shoelace/dist/react';
const css = `

return (

Positioning Strategy
By default, the popup is positioned using an absolute positioning strategy. However, if your anchor is fixed or exists within a container that has overflow: auto|hidden
, the popup risks being clipped. To work around this, you can use a fixed positioning strategy by setting the strategy
attribute to fixed
.
The fixed positioning strategy reduces jumpiness when the anchor is fixed and allows the popup to break out containers that clip. When using this strategy, it's important to note that the content will be positioned relative to its containing block, which is usually the viewport unless an ancestor uses a transform
, perspective
, or filter
. Refer to this page for more details.
In this example, you can see how the popup breaks out of the overflow container when it's fixed. The fixed positioning strategy tends to be less performant than absolute, so avoid using it unnecessarily.
Toggle the switch and scroll the container to see the difference.
<div class="popup-strategy">
<div class="overflow">
<sl-popup placement="top" strategy="fixed" active>

Fixed

</div>
<style>{css}</style>
</>
);
};
Flip
When the popup doesn't have enough room in its preferred placement, it can automatically flip to keep it in view. To enable this, use the flip
attribute. By default, the popup will flip to the opposite placement, but you can configure preferred fallback placements using flip-fallback-placement
and flip-fallback-strategy
. Additional options are available to control the flip behavior's boundary and padding.
Scroll the container to see how the popup flips to prevent clipping.

Shift
When a popup is longer than its anchor, it risks being clipped by an overflowing container. In this case, use the shift
attribute to shift the popup along its axis and back into view. You can customize the shift behavior using shiftBoundary
and shift-padding
.
Toggle the switch to see the difference.

<sl-popup placement="top" shift shift-padding="10" active>
<span slot="anchor"></span>
<div class="box"></div>

</div>
<sl-switch checked>Shift</sl-switch>
</div>
<style>
.popup-shift .overflow {
position: relative;
border: solid 2px var(--sl-color-neutral-200);
overflow: auto;
}
.popup-shift span[slot='anchor'] {
display: inline-block;
width: 150px;
height: 150px;
border: dashed 2px var(--sl-color-neutral-600);
margin: 60px 0 0 10px;
}
.popup-shift .box {

Auto-size
Use the auto-size
attribute to tell the popup to resize when necessary to prevent it from getting clipped. You can use autoSizeBoundary
and auto-size-padding
to customize the behavior of this option. Auto-size works well with flip
, but if you're using auto-size-padding
make sure flip-padding
is the same value.
When using auto-size, two read-only custom properties called --auto-size-available-width
and --auto-size-available-height
will be applied to the host element. These values determine the available space the popover has before clipping will occur. Since they cascade, you can use them to set a max-width/height on your popup's content and easily control its overflow.
Scroll the container to see the popup resize as its available space changes.
