sp-popover

Overview API Changelog

Overview

Section titled Overview

An <sp-popover> is used to display transient content (menus, options, additional actions etc.) and appears when clicking/tapping on a source (tools, buttons, etc.) It stands out via its visual style (stroke and drop shadow) and floats on top of the rest of the interface. This component does not implement the actual overlay behavior and interactions. This is handled by the Overlay system.
