Popovers Bootstrap
Sure! In Bootstrap 4, popovers are used to display additional information when a user interacts with an element. They are similar to tooltips but can contain more complex content.
Here's a basic overview of how to use Bootstrap 4 popovers with examples and proper indentation:
Including Bootstrap 4
First, ensure you have included the necessary Bootstrap 4 CSS and JavaScript files in your project. You can use the Bootstrap CDN for this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Bootstrap 4 Popover Example</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.2/css/bootstrap.min.css">
</head>
<body>
<!-- Your content goes here -->
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.1.slim.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@popperjs/core@2.10.2/dist/umd/popper.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.2/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
Basic Popover Example
Here's how to create a basic popover using Bootstrap 4.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Bootstrap 4 Popover Example</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.2/css/bootstrap.min.css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="container mt-5">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-toggle="popover" data-content="This is a popover!">
Click me
</button>
</div>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.1.slim.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@popperjs/core@2.10.2/dist/umd/popper.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.2/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
$('[data-toggle="popover"]').popover();
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
Popover with Title and Custom Content
To include a title and custom content in your popover, use the data-title
and data-content
attributes.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Popover with Title Example</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.2/css/bootstrap.min.css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="container mt-5">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary"
data-toggle="popover"
data-placement="right"
data-html="true"
data-title="<h3>Popover Title</h3>"
data-content="<p>This is <strong>custom content</strong> inside the popover.</p>">
Click me
</button>
</div>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.1.slim.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@popperjs/core@2.10.2/dist/umd/popper.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.2/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
$('[data-toggle="popover"]').popover();
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
Popover with Trigger Options
You can also customize the trigger of the popover. By default, it shows when you click on the element. You can also use hover or focus as triggers.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Popover Trigger Example</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.2/css/bootstrap.min.css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="container mt-5">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-info"
data-toggle="popover"
data-trigger="hover"
data-content="Hovered popover content">
Hover over me
</button>
</div>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.1.slim.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@popperjs/core@2.10.2/dist/umd/popper.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.2/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
