1. Installation

# 1.1 install via npm...
npm install react-native-ios-popover

# 1.2 ...or install via yarn 
yarn add react-native-ios-popover


# 2.1 install the lib's peer dependency via npm...
npm install react-native-ios-utilities

# 2.2 ...or install the lib's peer dependency via yarn
# Note: See "Installation: Dependencies" section for more details
yarn install react-native-ios-utilities


# 3. then run pod install (uses auto-linking)
cd ios && pod install

1.1 Installation Notes

If you encounter any errors/bugs while using this library, or want a particular feature implemented, please see the troubleshooting section, or create an issue!

Installation: Dependencies

This library depends on react-native-ios-utilities for some of the native functionality (i.e. it uses it as a peer dependency).

If you want to install and use a specific version of this library, please see the Installation: Versions and Compatibility section for more details.

If you are using any other library that uses react-native-ios-utilities (e.g. react-native-ios-context-menu, etc)., then please refer to the version compatibility guide.

Installation: Versions and Compatibility

The library's peer dependency requirements are enforced using semver (i.e. major.minor.patch). If you wish to use a specific version of this library, then please install the corresponding version of react-native-ios-utilities.

📝 Note: As a general rule, the major version should be the same between the library and the dependency. For example, if you're using react-native-ios-popover@2.3.12, then you should install react-native-ios-popover@2.x.x, etc.

Library Version `react-native-ios-popover`	Dependency Version `react-native-ios-utilities`
`0.x.x`	`N/A` (No External Dependencies)
`1.x.x`	`0.x.x`
`2.0.x`	`2.0.x`
`3.0.x`	`3.0.x`

1.2 Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting: Xcode Build Error (Swift)

This library is written in Swift. If you are having trouble building your app after installing this library, try adding an empty swift file:

Open up your ios/project.xcworkspace project
On the project navigator panel (located on the right side of Xcode), right click on your project group (or another folder/group i.e the blue or yellow icons) and select the "New File..." option
In the popup sheet, select "Swift" as the template and then click the "Next" button
A "Save As" popup sheet should appear and then click "Create" (you can rename the file first if you want to)
If Xcode asks you to create a "Objective-C Bridging Header" choose "Create Objective-C Bridging Header"

Troubleshooting: Cocoapods Static Libraries Error

If you encounter the following error when running pod install:

[!] The following Swift pods cannot yet be integrated as static libraries:

The Swift pod `react-native-ios-popover` depends upon `React-Core`, which does not define modules. To opt into those targets generating module maps (which is necessary to import them from Swift when building as static libraries), you may set `use_modular_headers!` globally in your Podfile, or specify `:modular_headers => true` for particular dependencies.

Then try following these steps:

Open up your project's ios/podfile configuration
Under target 'ProjectName' do block, find the 'React-Core' pod, and append the following snippet to the end of the line: , :modular_headers => true
It should now look something similar to this: pod 'React-Core', :path => '../node_modules/react-native/', :modular_headers => true
Try running pod install again.

2. Usage

Please check out the examples section or the examples directory for more on how to use it.

import { PopoverView } from "react-native-ios-popover";

function PopoverViewExample() {
  const popoverRef = useRef();

  return (
    <PopoverView
      ref={popoverRef}
      renderPopoverContent={() => (
        <View style={{padding: 20}}>
          <Text>
            {'Popover Content'}
          </Text>
        </View>
      )}
    >
      <TouchableOpacity onPress={() => {
        popoverRef.current.toggleVisibility();
      }}>
        <Text>
          {'Toggle Popover Visibility'}
        </Text>
      </TouchableOpacity>
    </PopoverView>
  );
};

3.1 Modules/Components

`PopoverView` Component

`PopoverView` Component: Props

Prop Name	Description
🔤 Required: `renderPopoverContent` ⚛️ `() => React.ReactElement`	The elements to show in the popover. This prop accepts a function that returns an element. The element returned from this function will be shown in the popover. See example 1 section.
🔤 `popoverSize` ⚛️ `PopoverSizeConfig` ✳️ Default: `{ type: 'INHERIT' }`	Controls the size the of the popover. This prop accepts a `PopoverSizeConfig` object. If you want to set a custom size for the popover, provide a `PopoverSizeConfig` with the type property set to `CUSTOM`, along with the desired height and width (e.g. `{type: 'CUSTOM', width: 100, height: 100}`). See example 3 section.
🔤 `popoverBackgroundColor` ⚛️ `string` ✳️ Default: `transparent`	Sets the background color of the popover. See example 4 section.
🔤 `permittedArrowDirections` ⚛️ `Array<PopoverArrowDirections>`	Sets the arrow directions that you allow for the popover. Accept an array of 0 or more string values, i.e. an array of `ArrowDirections` enum items (e.g. `up`, `down`, etc.) Note If you pass in an empty array, then there will be no arrow shown. See example 2 section.
🔤 `lazyPopover` ⚛️ `boolean` ✳️ Default: `true`	Controls whether or not the popover content is always mounted. If set to `true` the popover content will only be mounted while the popover is visible. Set this to `false` to prevent the popover from closing.
🔤 `popoverShouldDismiss` ⚛️ `boolean` ✳️ Default: `true`	Controls whether or not a tap outside the popover will dismiss it. See example 7 section.
🔤 `popoverCan` `OverlapSourceViewRect` ⚛️ `boolean` ✳️ Default: `false`	Controls whether the popover can overlap its source view. If set to `false` the popover will avoid covering up the source view. See example 3 section.

`PopoverView` Component: Events

Event Name	Description
🔤 `onPopoverDidShow` ⚛️ `OnPopoverDidShowEvent`	Event that gets called after the popover is shown, i.e. this event is invoked after the popover entrance animation is finished.
🔤 `onPopoverDidHide` ⚛️ `OnPopoverDidHideEvent`	Event that gets called after the popover is hidden, i.e. this event is invoked after the popover exit animation is finished.
🔤 `onPopoverWillShow` ⚛️ `OnPopoverWillShowEvent`	Event that gets called before the popover is shown, i.e. this event is immediently invoked when the popover is about to become visible.
🔤 `onPopoverWillHide` ⚛️ `OnPopoverWillHideEvent`	Event that gets called before the popover is hidden, i.e. this event is immediently invoked when the popover is about to become hidden.
🔤 `onPopoverDidHideViaTap` ⚛️ `OnPopoverDidHideViaTapEvent`	Event that gets called before the popover is hidden due to a tap outside the popover's content, i.e. this event is immediently invoked when the popover is about to become hidden.
🔤 `onPopoverWillHideViaTap` ⚛️ `OnPopoverWillHideViaTapEvent`	Event that gets called after the popover is hidden due to a tap outside the popover's content, i.e. this event is invoked after the popover exit animation is finished.
🔤 `onPopoverDidAttemptToDismiss` ⚛️ `OnPopoverDidAttemptToDismissEvent`	This event is invoked when the `popoverShouldDismiss` prop is set to `false`, and a tap outside the popover's content is initiated to dismiss the popover.

`PopoverView` Component: Functions

Function Name	Description
🔤 `setVisibility(` `visibility: boolean)` ⚛️ `Promise<void>`	A function that you can call to set whether or not the popover is shown or hidden. This function returns a promise that gets resolved when the popover is successfully shown or hidden. This function throws an error if the popover is already hidden or shown. See Example 1 section
🔤 `toggleVisibility` ⚛️ `Promise<void>`	A function that you can call to toggle the popover's visibility. This function returns a promise that gets resolved when the popover is successfully shown or hidden.
🔤 `getVisibility` ⚛️ `Promise<boolean>`	A function to query whether or not the popover is visible. Returrns a promise that resolves to a boolean value.

4.1 `PopoverView` Examples

`PopoverView` Example 01

A bare minimum example showing how to present a popover via the setVisibility function.

🔗 Full Example

function PopoverViewExample01() {
  const popoverRef = useRef();

  return (
    <PopoverView
      // get/store a ref to the popover component
      ref={popoverRef}
      // a function that returns the content to show
      // inside the popover
      renderPopoverContent={() => (
        <View style={{padding: 20}}>
          <Text>
            {'Popover Content'}
          </Text>
        </View>
      )}
    >
      <TouchableOpacity onPress={() => {
        // show the popover when the button is pressed
        // (note: `setVisibility` will throw an error if attempting to 
        // show a popover that's already visible)
        // alt. you can call `toggleVisibility` to show/hide the popover
        popoverRef.current.setVisibility(true);
      }}>
        <Text>
          {'Show Popover'}
        </Text>
      </TouchableOpacity>
    </PopoverView>
  );
};

`PopoverView` Example 02

A example PopoverView for the permittedArrowDirections prop.

This prop accepts an array of ArrowDirections string values (e.g: 'up', 'down', etc). You can also pass in an empty array or null to specify that the popover should not have an arrow.
The popover position and sizing will automatically adapt based on the permittedArrowDirections.

🔗 Full Example

function PopoverViewExample02() {
  const popoverRef = useRef();
  
  return(
    <PopoverView
      ref={popoverRef}
      // the allowed direction of the popover arrow.
      // accepts an array of `ArrowDirections` values,
      // e.g. "up", "down", etc.
      permittedArrowDirections={["left"]}
      renderPopoverContent={() => (
        <View style={{padding: 20}}>
          <Text>
            {'Left Arrow'}
          </Text>
        </View>
      )}
      >
      <TouchableOpacity onPress={() => {
        popoverRef.current.setVisibility(true);
      }}>
        <Text>
          {'Show Popover'}
        </Text>
      </TouchableOpacity>
    </PopoverView>
  );
};

`PopoverView` Example 03

A example PopoverView with the popoverSize prop set to STRETCH.

By default, the popoverSize prop is set to INHERIT which means the size of the popover is determined by the size of the popover content.
However, if you set the prop to STRETCH, the popover will be sized to be as big as possible based on the permittedArrowDirections prop, its position on screen, etc.

🔗 Full Example

function PopoverViewExample03() {
  const popoverRef = useRef();

  return(
    <PopoverView
      ref={popoverRef}
      // set the `popoverSize` prop to `STRETCH` to make the
      // popover as big as possible.
      popoverSize={{type: 'STRETCH'}}
      // You also have to set `popoverCanOverlapSourceViewRect`
      // prop to false to prevent the popover from covering up
      // the popover source view.
      popoverCanOverlapSourceViewRect={false}
      permittedArrowDirections={["up", "down"]}
      // the style of the root popover content view must be set
      // to `{flex: 1}` so that it'll stretch to the size of the
      // popover.
      renderPopoverContent={() => (
        <View style={{flex: 1, alignItems: 'center', justifyContent: 'center'}}>
          <Text>
            {'Popover Content'}
          </Text>
        </View>
      )}
    >
      <TouchableOpacity onPress={() => {
        popoverRef.current.setVisibility(true);
      }}>
        <Text>
          {'Show Popover'}
        </Text>
      </TouchableOpacity>
    </PopoverView>
  );
};

`PopoverView` Example 04

A example PopoverView with the popoverBackgroundColor prop set to "pink". By default, the PopoverView has a transparent background with a blur effect.

🔗 Full Example

function PopoverViewExample04(props) {
  const popoverRef = useRef();

  return (
    <PopoverView
      ref={popoverRef}
      // pass in a valid color value
      popoverBackgroundColor={'pink'}
      renderPopoverContent={() => (
        <View style={{padding: 20}}>
          <Text>
            {'Popover Content'}
          </Text>
        </View>
      )}
    >
      <TouchableOpacity onPress={() => {
        popoverRef.current.setVisibility(true);
      }}>
        <Text>
          {'Show Popover'}
        </Text>
      </TouchableOpacity>
    </PopoverView>
  );
};

`PopoverView` Example 05

A example PopoverView for programmatically hiding the popover via the setVisibility function.

The setVisibility(bool) function will throw an error if it's already visible or hidden.

🔗 Full Example

function PopoverViewExample05(props) {
  const popoverRef = useRef();

  return (
    <PopoverView
      ref={popoverRef}
      onPopoverDidHideViaTap={() => alert('onPopoverDidHideViaTap')}
      renderPopoverContent={() => (
        <View style={{padding: 20}}>
          <TouchableOpacity onPress={() => {
            // hide the popover
            popoverRef.current.setVisibility(false);
          }}>
            <Text>
              {'Dismiss Popover'}
            </Text>
          </TouchableOpacity>
        </View>
      )}
    >
      <TouchableOpacity onPress={() => {
        // toggle popover visibility
        popoverRef.current.toggleVisibility();
      }}>
        <Text>
          {'Toggle Popover'}
        </Text>
      </TouchableOpacity>
    </PopoverView>
  );
};

`PopoverView` Example 06

A simple PopoverView example for the popover did show/hide events.

🔗 Full Example

function PopoverViewExample06(props) {
  const popoverRef = useRef();

  return(
    <PopoverView
      ref={popoverRef}
      // popover events
      onPopoverDidHide={() => alert('onPopoverDidHide')}
      onPopoverDidShow={() => alert('onPopoverDidShow')}
      renderPopoverContent={() => (
        <View style={{padding: 20}}>
          <Text style={styles.popoverText}>
            {'Popover Content'}
          </Text>
        </View>
      )}
    >
      <TouchableOpacity onPress={() => {
        popoverRef.current.setVisibility();
      }}>
        <Text>
          {'Toggle Popover'}
        </Text>
      </TouchableOpacity>
    </PopoverView>
  );
};

4.1.7 `PopoverView` Example 07

A example PopoverView that has a switch that toggles the popoverShouldDismiss prop.

The onPopoverDidAttemptToDismiss prop is set to true by default. This prop controls whether or not the popover should dismiss when there's a tap gesture outside the popover.
So setting the onPopoverDidAttemptToDismiss to false will prevent the popover from dismissing via a tap outside the popover.

🔗 Full Example

function PopoverViewExample07(props) {
  const popoverRef = useRef();
  
  const [isEnabled, setIsEnabled] = useState(false);
  // toggle `popoverShouldDismiss`
  const toggleSwitch = () => setIsEnabled(previousState => !previousState);

  return(
    <PopoverView
      ref={popoverRef}
      // set the `popoverShouldDismiss` prop
      popoverShouldDismiss={isEnabled}
      onPopoverDidAttemptToDismiss={() => alert('onPopoverDidAttemptToDismiss')}
      renderPopoverContent={() => (
        <View>
          <Text>
            {'popoverShouldDismiss'}
          </Text>
          <Switch
            onValueChange={toggleSwitch}
            value={isEnabled}
          />
        </View>
      )}
    >
      <TouchableOpacity onPress={() => {
        popoverRef.current.setVisibility(true);
      }}>
        <Text>
          {'Show Popover'}
        </Text>
      </TouchableOpacity>
    </PopoverView>
  );
};

`PopoverView` Example 08

A example PopoverView for the toggleVisibility function.

🔗 Full Example

function PopoverViewExample08(props) {
  const popoverRef = useRef();

  return(
    <PopoverView
      ref={popoverRef}
      popoverShouldDismiss={false}
      renderPopoverContent={() => (
        <View style={{padding: 20}}>
          <Text>
            {'Popover Content'}
          </Text>
        </View>
      )}
    >
      <TouchableOpacity onPress={() => {
        // toggle the popover visibility
        popoverRef.current.toggleVisibility();
      }}>
        <Text>
          {'Toggle Popover'}
        </Text>
      </TouchableOpacity>
    </PopoverView>
  );
};
