Usage

import { HoverCard } from "@chakra-ui/react"

<HoverCard.Root>

Shortcuts

The HoverCard provides a shortcuts for common use cases.

Arrow

The HoverCard.Arrow renders the HoverCard.ArrowTip component within in by default.

This works:

<HoverCard.Arrow>
  <HoverCard.ArrowTip />
</HoverCard.Arrow>

This might be more concise, if you don't need to customize the arrow tip.

<HoverCard.Arrow />

Examples

Controlled

Use the open and onOpenChange to control the visibility of the hover card.

@chakra_ui

"use client"

import { Box, HoverCard, Link, Portal, Strong } from "@chakra-ui/react"
import { useState } from "react"


const Demo = () => {
  const [open, setOpen] = useState(false)
  return (
    <HoverCard.Root size="sm" open={open} onOpenChange={(e) => setOpen(e.open)}>
      <HoverCard.Trigger asChild>
        <Link href="#">@chakra_ui</Link>
      </HoverCard.Trigger>
      <Portal>
        <HoverCard.Positioner>
          <HoverCard.Content maxWidth="240px">
            <HoverCard.Arrow />
            <Box>
              <Strong>Chakra</Strong> is a Sanskrit word that means disk or
              wheel, referring to energy centers in the body
            </Box>
          </HoverCard.Content>
        </HoverCard.Positioner>
      </Portal>
    </HoverCard.Root>
  )
}

Delays

Control the open and close delays using the openDelay and closeDelay props.

@chakra_ui

import { Box, HoverCard, Link, Portal, Strong } from "@chakra-ui/react"


const Demo = () => {
  return (
    <HoverCard.Root size="sm" openDelay={1000} closeDelay={100}>
      <HoverCard.Trigger asChild>
        <Link href="#">@chakra_ui</Link>
      </HoverCard.Trigger>
      <Portal>
        <HoverCard.Positioner>
          <HoverCard.Content maxWidth="240px">
            <HoverCard.Arrow />
            <Box>
              <Strong>Chakra</Strong> is a Sanskrit word that means disk or
              wheel, referring to energy centers in the body
            </Box>
          </HoverCard.Content>
        </HoverCard.Positioner>
      </Portal>
    </HoverCard.Root>
  )
}

Placement

Use the positioning.placement prop to configure the underlying floating-ui positioning logic.

@chakra_ui

import { Box, HoverCard, Link, Portal, Strong } from "@chakra-ui/react"


const Demo = () => {
  return (
    <HoverCard.Root size="sm" positioning={{ placement: "top" }}>
      <HoverCard.Trigger asChild>
        <Link href="#">@chakra_ui</Link>
      </HoverCard.Trigger>
      <Portal>
        <HoverCard.Positioner>
          <HoverCard.Content maxWidth="240px">
            <HoverCard.Arrow />
            <Box>
              <Strong>Chakra</Strong> is a Sanskrit word that means disk or
              wheel, referring to energy centers in the body
            </Box>
          </HoverCard.Content>
        </HoverCard.Positioner>
      </Portal>
    </HoverCard.Root>
  )
}

Disabled

Use the disabled prop to prevent opening the hover card on interaction.

@chakra_ui

"use client"

import { HoverCard, Link, Portal, Stack, Text } from "@chakra-ui/react"


const Demo = () => {
  return (
    <HoverCard.Root size="sm" disabled>
      <HoverCard.Trigger asChild>
        <Link href="#">@chakra_ui</Link>
      </HoverCard.Trigger>
      <Portal>
        <HoverCard.Positioner>
          <HoverCard.Content>
            <HoverCard.Arrow />
            <Stack gap="1">
              <Text textStyle="sm" fontWeight="semibold">
                Chakra UI
              </Text>
              <Text textStyle="sm" color="fg.muted">
                The most powerful toolkit for building modern web applications.
              </Text>
            </Stack>
          </HoverCard.Content>
        </HoverCard.Positioner>
      </Portal>
    </HoverCard.Root>
  )
}

Within Dialog

To use the HoverCard within a Dialog, you need to avoid portalling the HoverCard.Positioner to the document's body.

-<Portal>
  <HoverCard.Positioner>
    <HoverCard.Content>
      {/* ... */}
    </HoverCard.Content>
  </HoverCard.Positioner>
-</Portal>

Accessibility

HoverCard should be used solely for supplementary information that is not essential for understanding the context.

It is inaccessible to screen readers and cannot be activated via keyboard, so avoid placing crucial content within it.
