Canvas Kit Popper

A thin wrapper component around the Popper.js positioning engine. For reference: https://popper.js.org/

Usage

import * as React from 'react';
import {Popper} from '@workday/canvas-kit-react-common';
import {Popup} from '@workday/canvas-kit-react-popup';

<Popper placement={'bottom'} open={this.state.open} anchorElement={this.buttonRef.current}>
  <Popup heading={'Popup Title'}>{this.props.children}</Popup>
</Popper>;

Testing

Popper.js uses DOM calls that aren't available in JSDOM. This can cause problems with some testing frameworks that use JSDOM such as jest. When testing you can mock out these calls made by Popper.js.

Alternatively, you can mock out the Popper wrapper itself. An example of how to do this in jest is shown below:

jest.mock('@workday/canvas-kit-react-common', () => ({
  ...jest.genMockFromModule('@workday/canvas-kit-react-common'),
  Popper: props => (props.open ? <div id="POPPER">{props.children}</div> : null),
}));

Static Properties

None
