Popover

A floating panel anchored to a trigger for date pickers, filters, and inline forms — with the neobrutalist borders-and-shadows treatment.

import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"
import { Input } from "@/components/ui/input"
import { Label } from "@/components/ui/label"

The popover displays rich content in a floating panel anchored to its trigger — opened on click, dismissed by clicking outside or pressing Esc. Built on the Base UI Popover component and styled to the neobrutalist recipe: thick borders, hard shadows, and bold type.

Reach for it when:

Inline forms — rename an item, set dimensions, or tweak one setting without opening a full dialog.
Date and color pickers — anchor a calendar or swatch grid directly to its input.
Toolbar and table filters — stack checkboxes and ranges behind a compact trigger.

Composition

Use the following composition to build a Popover:

Popover
├── PopoverTrigger
└── PopoverContent

Examples

Basic

A simple popover with a header, title, and description.

import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"
import {
  Popover,

Align

Use the align prop on PopoverContent to control the horizontal alignment.

import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"
import {
  Popover,

With Form

A popover with form fields inside.

import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"
import { Field, FieldGroup, FieldLabel } from "@/components/ui/field"
import { Input } from "@/components/ui/input"

RTL

To enable RTL support in Neobrutalism.com, see the RTL configuration guide.

"use client"

import {

Accessibility

The popover follows the WAI-ARIA Dialog pattern in its non-modal form: the trigger carries aria-haspopup="dialog", aria-expanded, and aria-controls, and the panel renders as role="dialog" — focus moves into it on open and returns to the trigger on close.

Keyboard interactions:

Key	Action
`Space` / `Enter`	Open or close the popover from the trigger
`Tab` / `Shift + Tab`	Move focus through the panel's focusable elements
`Esc`	Close the popover and return focus to the trigger
