ngPopover

Popover provider for Angular.js applications.

Install

You can download all necessary ngPopover files manually or install it with bower:

bower install ngPopover

Usage

You need only to include ngPopover.js and ngPopover.css (as minimal setup) to your project and then you can start using ngPopover provider in your directives, controllers and services. For example in controllers:

var app = angular.module('exampleApp', ['ngPopover']);

app.controller('MainCtrl', function ($scope, ngPopover) {
	$scope.clickToOpen = function () {
		ngPopover.open({ template: 'popoverTmpl.html' });
	};
});

Directive

By default ngPopover module is served with ngPopover directive which can be used as attribute for buttons, links, etc. All .open() options are available through tag attributes as well.

Some button, for example, will look like:

<button type="button"
	ng-popover="templateId.html"
	title="Popover title"
	placement="right"
	maximize="true"
	init='initPopover()'
	Open popover text
</button>
