25**Positioning tooltips and popovers is difficult. Popper is here to help!**
26
27Given an element, such as a button, and a tooltip element describing it, Popper
28will automatically put the tooltip in the right place near the button.
29
30It will position _any_ UI element that "pops out" from the flow of your document
31and floats near a target element. The most common example is a tooltip, but it
32also includes popovers, drop-downs, and more. All of these can be generically
33described as a "popper" element.
34

49[dedicated repository](https://github.com/popperjs/website).

51## Why not use pure CSS?
52
53- **Clipping and overflow issues**: Pure CSS poppers will not be prevented from
54 overflowing clipping boundaries, such as the viewport. It will get partially
55 cut off or overflows if it's near the edge since there is no dynamic
56 positioning logic. When using Popper, your popper will always be positioned in
57 the right place without needing manual adjustments.
58- **No flipping**: CSS poppers will not flip to a different placement to fit
59 better in view if necessary. While you can manually adjust for the main axis
60 overflow, this feature cannot be achieved via CSS alone. Popper automatically
61 flips the tooltip to make it fit in view as best as possible for the user.
62- **No virtual positioning**: CSS poppers cannot follow the mouse cursor or be
63 used as a context menu. Popper allows you to position your tooltip relative to
64 any coordinates you desire.
65- **Slower development cycle**: When pure CSS is used to position popper
66 elements, the lack of dynamic positioning means they must be carefully placed
67 to consider overflow on all screen sizes. In reusable component libraries,
68 this means a developer can't just add the component anywhere on the page,
69 because these issues need to be considered and adjusted for every time. With
70 Popper, you can place your elements anywhere and they will be positioned
71 correctly, without needing to consider different screen sizes, layouts, etc.
72 This massively speeds up development time because this work is automatically
73 offloaded to Popper.
74- **Lack of extensibility**: CSS poppers cannot be easily extended to fit any
75 arbitrary use case you may need to adjust for. Popper is built with
76 extensibility in mind.
77
78## Why Popper?
79
80With the CSS drawbacks out of the way, we now move on to Popper in the
81JavaScript space itself.
82
83Naive JavaScript tooltip implementations usually have the following problems:
84
85- **Scrolling containers**: They don't ensure the tooltip stays with the
86 reference element while scrolling when inside any number of scrolling
87 containers.
88- **DOM context**: They often require the tooltip move outside of its original
89 DOM context because they don't handle `offsetParent` contexts.
90- **Compatibility**: Popper handles an incredible number of edge cases regarding
91 different browsers and environments (mobile viewports, RTL, scrollbars enabled
92 or disabled, etc.). Popper is a popular and well-maintained library, so you
93 can be confident positioning will work for your users on any device.
94- **Configurability**: They often lack advanced configurability to suit any
95 possible use case.
96- **Size**: They are usually relatively large in size, or require an ancient
97 jQuery dependency.
98- **Performance**: They often have runtime performance issues and update the
99 tooltip position too slowly.
100
101**Popper solves all of these key problems in an elegant, performant manner.** It
102is a lightweight ~3 kB library that aims to provide a reliable and extensible
103positioning engine you can use to ensure all your popper elements are positioned
104in the right place.
105
106When you start writing your own popper implementation, you'll quickly run into
107all of the problems mentioned above. These widgets are incredibly common in our
108UIs; we've done the hard work figuring this out so you don't need to spend hours
109fixing and handling numerous edge cases that we already ran into while building
110the library!
111
112Popper is used in popular libraries like Bootstrap, Foundation, Material UI, and
113more. It's likely you've already used popper elements on the web positioned by
114Popper at some point in the past few years.
115
116Since we write UIs using powerful abstraction libraries such as React or Angular
117nowadays, you'll also be glad to know Popper can fully integrate with them and
118be a good citizen together with your other components. Check out `react-popper`
119for the official Popper wrapper for React.
120
121## Installation
122
123### 1. Package Manager
124
125```bash
126# With npm
127npm i @popperjs/core
128
129# With Yarn
130yarn add @popperjs/core
131```
132
133### 2. CDN
134
135```html
136<!-- Development version -->
137<script src="https://unpkg.com/@popperjs/core@2/dist/umd/popper.js"></script>
138
139<!-- Production version -->
140<script src="https://unpkg.com/@popperjs/core@2"></script>
141```
142
143### 3. Direct Download?
144
145Managing dependencies by "directly downloading" them and placing them into your
146source code is not recommended for a variety of reasons, including missing out
147on feat/fix updates easily. Please use a versioning management system like a CDN
148or npm/Yarn.
149
150## Usage
151
152The most straightforward way to get started is to import Popper from the `unpkg`
153CDN, which includes all of its features. You can call the `Popper.createPopper`
154constructor to create new popper instances.
155
156Here is a complete example:
157
158```html
159<!DOCTYPE html>
160<title>Popper example</title>
161
162<style>
163 #tooltip {
164 background-color: #333;
165 color: white;
166 padding: 5px 10px;
167 border-radius: 4px;
168 font-size: 13px;
169 }
170</style>
171
172<button id="button" aria-describedby="tooltip">I'm a button</button>
173<div id="tooltip" role="tooltip">I'm a tooltip</div>
174
175<script src="https://unpkg.com/@popperjs/core@^2.0.0"></script>
176<script>
177 const button = document.querySelector('#button');
178 const tooltip = document.querySelector('#tooltip');
179
180 // Pass the button, the tooltip, and some options, and Popper will do the
181 // magic positioning for you:
182 Popper.createPopper(button, tooltip, {
183 placement: 'right',
184 });
185</script>
186```
187
188Visit the [tutorial](https://popper.js.org/docs/v2/tutorial/) for an example of
189how to build your own tooltip from scratch using Popper.
190
191### Module bundlers
192
193You can import the `createPopper` constructor from the fully-featured file:
194
195```js
196import { createPopper } from '@popperjs/core';
197
198const button = document.querySelector('#button');
199const tooltip = document.querySelector('#tooltip');
200
201// Pass the button, the tooltip, and some options, and Popper will do the
202// magic positioning for you:
203createPopper(button, tooltip, {
204 placement: 'right',
205});
206```
207
208All the modifiers listed in the docs menu will be enabled and "just work", so
209you don't need to think about setting Popper up. The size of Popper including
210all of its features is about 5 kB minzipped, but it may grow a bit in the
211future.
212
213#### Popper Lite (tree-shaking)
214
215If bundle size is important, you'll want to take advantage of tree-shaking. The
216library is built in a modular way to allow to import only the parts you really
217need.
218
219```js
220import { createPopperLite as createPopper } from '@popperjs/core';
221```
222
223The Lite version includes the most necessary modifiers that will compute the
224offsets of the popper, compute and add the positioning styles, and add event
225listeners. This is close in bundle size to pure CSS tooltip libraries, and
226behaves somewhat similarly.
227
228However, this does not include the features that makes Popper truly useful.
229
230The two most useful modifiers not included in Lite are `preventOverflow` and
231`flip`:
232
233```js
234import {
235 createPopperLite as createPopper,
236 preventOverflow,
237 flip,
238} from '@popperjs/core';
239
240const button = document.querySelector('#button');
241const tooltip = document.querySelector('#tooltip');
242
243createPopper(button, tooltip, {
244 modifiers: [preventOverflow, flip],
245});
246```
247
248As you make more poppers, you may be finding yourself needing other modifiers
249provided by the library.
250
251See [tree-shaking](https://popper.js.org/docs/v2/performance/#tree-shaking) for more
252information.
253
254## Distribution targets
255
256Popper is distributed in 3 different versions, in 3 different file formats.
257
258The 3 file formats are:
259
260- `esm` (works with `import` syntax — **recommended**)
261- `umd` (works with `<script>` tags or RequireJS)
262- `cjs` (works with `require()` syntax)
263
264There are two different `esm` builds, one for bundler consumers (e.g. webpack,
265Rollup, etc..), which is located under `/lib`, and one for browsers with native
266support for ES Modules, under `/dist/esm`. The only difference within the two,
267is that the browser-compatible version doesn't make use of
268`process.env.NODE_ENV` to run development checks.
269
270The 3 versions are:
271
272- `popper`: includes all the modifiers (features) in one file (**default**);
273- `popper-lite`: includes only the minimum amount of modifiers to provide the
274 basic functionality;
275- `popper-base`: doesn't include any modifier, you must import them separately;
276
277Below you can find the size of each version, minified and compressed with the
278[Brotli compression algorithm](https://medium.com/groww-engineering/enable-brotli-compression-in-webpack-with-fallback-to-gzip-397a57cf9fc6):

286## Hacking the library
287
288If you want to play with the library, implement new features, fix a bug you
289found, or simply experiment with it, this section is for you!
290
291First of all, make sure to have
292[Yarn installed](https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/install).
293
294Install the development dependencies:
295
296```bash
297yarn install
298```
299
300And run the development environment:
301
302```bash
303yarn dev
304```
305
306Then, simply open one the development server web page:
307
308```bash
309# macOS and Linux
310open localhost:5000
311
312# Windows
313start localhost:5000
314```
315
316From there, you can open any of the examples (`.html` files) to fiddle with
317them.
318
319Now any change you will made to the source code, will be automatically compiled,
320you just need to refresh the page.
321
322If the page is not working properly, try to go in _"Developer Tools >
323Application > Clear storage"_ and click on "_Clear site data_".
324To run the examples you need a browser with
325[JavaScript modules via script tag support](https://caniuse.com/#feat=es6-module).
326
327## Test Suite
328
329Popper is currently tested with unit tests, and functional tests. Both of them
330are run by Jest.
331
332### Unit Tests
333
334The unit tests use JSDOM to provide a primitive document object API, they are
335used to ensure the utility functions behave as expected in isolation.
336
337### Functional Tests
338
339The functional tests run with Puppeteer, to take advantage of a complete browser
340environment. They are currently running on Chromium, and Firefox.
341
342You can run them with `yarn test:functional`. Set the `PUPPETEER_BROWSER`
343environment variable to `firefox` to run them on the Mozilla browser.
344
345The assertions are written in form of image snapshots, so that it's easy to
346assert for the correct Popper behavior without having to write a lot of offsets
347comparisons manually.
348
349You can mark a `*.test.js` file to run in the Puppeteer environment by
350prepending a `@jest-environment puppeteer` JSDoc comment to the interested file.
351
352Here's an example of a basic functional test:
353
354```js
355/**
356 * @jest-environment puppeteer
357 * @flow
358 */
359import { screenshot } from '../utils/puppeteer.js';
360
361it('should position the popper on the right', async () => {
362 const page = await browser.newPage();
363 await page.goto(`${TEST_URL}/basic.html`);
364
365 expect(await screenshot(page)).toMatchImageSnapshot();
366});
367```
368
369You can find the complete
370[`jest-puppeteer` documentation here](https://github.com/smooth-code/jest-puppeteer#api),
371and the
372[`jest-image-snapshot` documentation here](https://github.com/americanexpress/jest-image-snapshot#%EF%B8%8F-api).
