A popover is a small JavaScript library for creating tooltip-style popups and a popup menu around any DOM you select.

Features:

It is triggered by a click or scroll event.
Smart positioning.
Smooth transitions.
With the arrow symbol/icon or not.

How to make use of it:

1. Import the mandatory JavaScript and CSS information into the document.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="dist/popover.min.css" />
<script src="dist/popover.min.js"></script>

2. Insert content material into the popover.

<div id="popover-target">
  <div class="pop-comp-content">Popover Content</div>
</div>

3. Attach the popover to a component.

<button class="popover-demo" 
        data-popover-target="#popover-target">
        Click Me
</button>

PopoverComponent.init({
  ele: '.popover-demo'
});

4. You can the showOnHover choice to true if you want to show the popover on hover similar to a tooltip.

PopoverComponent.init({
  ele: '.popover-demo',
  showOnHover: true
});

5. You can also go the choices by way of HTML data-* attributes as follows:

<div class="popover-demo"
     data-popover-position="bottom"
></div>

6. Trigger features after the popover is proven & hidden.

PopoverComponent.init({
  ele: '.popover-demo',
  beforeShow: function(){
    // do something
  },
  beforeHide: function(){
    // do something
  }
  afterShow: function(){
    // do something
  },
  afterHide: function(){
    // do something
  }
});
