Introducing the Socket Python SDK
The initial version of the Socket Python SDK is now on PyPI, enabling developers to more easily interact with the Socket REST API in Python projects.
@floating-ui/react
Advanced tools
The @floating-ui/react package is a library for creating floating elements that can be positioned next to a given reference element. It is commonly used for tooltips, popovers, dropdowns, and similar components. The library provides a set of hooks and utilities to manage the positioning and behavior of these floating elements in a React application.
Positioning Tooltips
This code demonstrates how to use @floating-ui/react to position a tooltip above a reference button, with an offset and the ability to flip based on available space.
import {useFloating, offset, flip} from '@floating-ui/react';
function Tooltip() {
const {x, y, reference, floating, strategy} = useFloating({
placement: 'top',
middleware: [offset(10), flip()]
});
return (
<>
<button ref={reference}>Reference Element</button>
<div ref={floating} style={{
position: strategy,
top: y ?? '',
left: x ?? ''
}}>Floating Content</div>
</>
);
}
Creating Popovers
This example shows how to create a popover component positioned to the right of a reference element, including shifting to stay within the viewport and an arrow pointing to the reference.
import {useFloating, shift, arrow} from '@floating-ui/react';
function Popover({referenceElement}) {
const {x, y, floating, strategy, middlewareData} = useFloating({
placement: 'right-start',
middleware: [shift(), arrow({element: arrowElement})]
});
return (
<div ref={floating} style={{
position: strategy,
top: y ?? '',
left: x ?? ''
}}>
Popover Content
<div ref={arrowElement} style={{
position: 'absolute',
[middlewareData.arrow.x != null ? 'left' : 'top']: middlewareData.arrow.x ?? middlewareData.arrow.y
}} />
</div>
);
}
Popper.js is a predecessor to @floating-ui/react, offering similar functionality for positioning floating elements. While Popper.js provides a robust API for managing poppers, @floating-ui/react offers a more modern, hook-based approach tailored for React applications, potentially offering a more streamlined integration.
Tippy.js is a tooltip and popover library that builds on top of Popper.js. It provides a high-level abstraction for creating and managing tooltips, popovers, and dropdowns. Compared to @floating-ui/react, Tippy.js includes more out-of-the-box styling and interaction options, making it a good choice for users looking for a more complete solution with less setup.
This is the library to use Floating UI with React.
