What are @progress/kendo-react-popup's main functionalities?
Basic Popup
This code demonstrates a basic usage of the Popup component. It toggles the visibility of the popup when the button is clicked and anchors the popup to a specific element.
import React from 'react';
import { Popup } from '@progress/kendo-react-popup';
const BasicPopup = () => {
const [show, setShow] = React.useState(false);
return (
<div>
<button onClick={() => setShow(!show)}>Toggle Popup</button>
<Popup show={show} anchor={document.getElementById('anchor')}>Hello, World!</Popup>
<div id="anchor" style={{ marginTop: '20px' }}>Anchor Element</div>
</div>
);
};
export default BasicPopup;
Custom Popup Position
This code demonstrates how to customize the position of the Popup component. The popup is displayed at a specific position relative to the anchor element.
import React from 'react';
import { Popup } from '@progress/kendo-react-popup';
const CustomPositionPopup = () => {
const [show, setShow] = React.useState(false);
return (
<div>
<button onClick={() => setShow(!show)}>Toggle Popup</button>
<Popup show={show} anchor={document.getElementById('anchor')} position={{ top: 50, left: 100 }}>Custom Position</Popup>
<div id="anchor" style={{ marginTop: '20px' }}>Anchor Element</div>
</div>
);
};
export default CustomPositionPopup;
Popup with Animation

import React from 'react';
import { Popup } from '@progress/kendo-react-popup';
const AnimatedPopup = () => {
const [show, setShow] = React.useState(false);
return (
<div>
<button onClick={() => setShow(!show)}>Toggle Popup</button>
<Popup show={show} anchor={document.getElementById('anchor')} animate={{ openDuration: 300, closeDuration: 300 }}>Animated Popup</Popup>
<div id="anchor" style={{ marginTop: '20px' }}>Anchor Element</div>
</div>
);
