HoverCard {shiny.fluent}

HoverCard

Description

Hover cards (HoverCard) show commands and information, such as metadata and activity, when someone hovers over an item.

• Tabbing with a keyboard to the element triggering the HoverCard to open on focus (see first example). In this case no further navigation within the card is available and navigating to the next element will close the card.

• Tabbing with a keyboard to the element triggering the HoverCard and opening when the hotKey is pressed (see second example). When the card is opened it will automatically focus the first focusable element of the card content.

For more details and examples visit the official docs. The R package cannot handle each and every case, so for advanced use cases you need to work using the original docs to achieve the desired result.

Props to pass to the component. The allowed props are listed below in the Details section.

Details

• compactCardHeight number
  Height of compact card

• expandedCardHeight number
  Height of expanded card

• mode ExpandingCardMode
  Use to open the card in expanded format and not wait for the delay

• onRenderCompactCard ⁠IRenderFunction<any>⁠
  Render function to populate compact content area

• onRenderExpandedCard ⁠IRenderFunction<any>⁠

• cardDismissDelay number
  Length of card dismiss delay. A min number is necessary for pointer to hop between target and card

• cardOpenDelay number
  Length of compact card delay

• className string
  Additional CSS class(es) to apply to the HoverCard root element.

• componentRef ⁠IRefObject<IHoverCard>⁠
  Optional callback to access the IHoverCardHost interface. Use this instead of ref for accessing the public methods and properties of the component.

• eventListenerTarget HTMLElement | string | null
  This prop is to separate the target to anchor hover card from the target to attach event listener. If set, this prop separates the target to anchor the hover card from the target to attach the event listener. When no eventListenerTarget given, HoverCard will use target prop or its root to set event listener.

• expandedCardOpenDelay number
  Time in ms when expanded card should open after compact card

• expandingCardProps IExpandingCardProps
  Additional ExpandingCard props to pass through HoverCard like renderers, target. gapSpace etc. Used along with 'type' prop set to HoverCardType.expanding. Reference detail properties in ICardProps and IExpandingCardProps.

• instantOpenOnClick boolean
  Enables instant open of the full card upon click

• onCardExpand ⁠() => void⁠
  Callback when visible card is expanded.

• onCardHide ⁠() => void⁠

Best practices

Layout

• Hover cards contain both compact and expanded states, with the compact state appearing after 500 milliseconds and the expanded state appearing as the user continues to hover after 1500 milliseconds.

• The hover card positions itself automatically, depending upon where the target is on the viewport. Position the target so the card doesn’t obstruct inline commanding on the item.

Examples

library(shiny.fluent)

if (interactive()) {
  shinyApp(
    ui = HoverCard(
      type = "PlainCard",
      plainCardProps = JS("{
        onRenderPlainCard: (a, b, c) => 'HoverCard contents',
        style: { margin: 10 }
      }"),
      "Hover over me"
    ),
    server = function(input, output) {}
  )
}
