Getting started

A quick tutorial to get you up and running with Radix Primitives.

Implementing a Popover

In this quick tutorial, we will install and style the Popover component.

1. Install the library

Install the component from your command line.

npm install radix-vue

2. Import the parts

Import and structure the parts.

<!-- Popover.vue -->
<script setup lang="ts">
import { PopoverArrow, PopoverClose, PopoverContent, PopoverPortal, PopoverRoot, PopoverTrigger } from 'radix-vue'
</script>

<template>
  <PopoverRoot>
    <PopoverTrigger>More info</PopoverTrigger>
    <PopoverPortal>
      <PopoverContent>
        Some more info...
        <PopoverClose />
        <PopoverArrow />
      </PopoverContent>
    </PopoverPortal>
  </PopoverRoot>
</template>

3. Add your styles

Add styles where desired.

<template>
  <PopoverRoot>
    <PopoverTrigger class="PopoverTrigger">
      More info
    </PopoverTrigger>
    <PopoverPortal>
      <PopoverContent class="PopoverContent">
        Some more info...
        <PopoverClose />
        <PopoverArrow class="PopoverArrow" />
      </PopoverContent>
    </PopoverPortal>
  </PopoverRoot>
</template>

<style>
.PopoverTrigger {
  background-color: white;
  border-radius: 4px;
}

.PopoverContent {
  border-radius: 4px;
  padding: 20px;
  width: 260px;
  background-color: white;
}

.PopoverArrow {
  background-color: white;
}
</style>

Summary

The steps above outline briefly what's involved in using a Radix Primitive in your application.

These components are low-level enough to give you control over how you want to wrap them. You're free to introduce your own high-level API to better suit the needs of your team and product.

In a few simple steps, we've implemented a fully accessible Popover component, without having to worry about many of its complexities.

• Adheres to WAI-ARIA design pattern.
• Can be controlled or uncontrolled.
• Customize side, alignment, offsets, collision handling.
• Optionally render a pointing arrow.
• Focus is fully managed and customizable.
• Dismissing and layering behavior is highly customizable.
