react-callout

Lightweight and stateless callout component for React.js

It uses only css for positioning.

Usage

Add react-callout as a dependency

$ npm install --save react-callout

then simply use the provided component

Note that the component is stateless, so updating the isVisible property should be handled in the model of your app (e.g. using redux or similar flux implementations)

The component is also unstyled (except for the layout).

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';

import Callout from 'react-callout';

const content = (
    <div className="content">
        CALLOUT CONTENT
    </div>
);


ReactDOM.render(
    <div>
        <Callout
            isOpen={true} // show or hide the callout (default to false)
            position="top" // position relative to children elements ["top", "bottom"] (default to top)
            alignment="right" // alignment relative to children elements ["left", "right"] (default to left)
            offset={{ // offset from the current layout position
                x: '-20px' // horizontal offset in css format (default to "0")
                y: '5%' // vertical offset in css format (default to "0")
            }}
            content={content} // jsx content of the callout
        >

            ... // element owning the callout

        </Callout>
    </div>,
    document.getElementById('callout-example')
);
