Floating UI
JavaScript library that positions floating elements such as tooltips, popovers and dropdowns next to their anchors, with React and Vue bindings.
Floating UI is a JavaScript library that positions floating elements such as tooltips, popovers and dropdowns next to an anchor. The getting-started guide installs it from npm or loads it from a CDN, and names separate packages for vanilla JavaScript, React and React Native, and Vue. A core package serves other platforms, such as canvas. The repository is a monorepo that also holds the project’s website.
Worth knowing
Floating UI forked Popper 2, and the project’s migration guide covers moving an existing Popper v2 setup to Floating UI.
