Popup

Popup is a popup window with any HTML content that pops up over App's main content. Popup as all other overlays is part of so called "Temporary Views".

Popup layout is pretty simple:

<body>
  ...
  <div class="popup">
    Any HTML content goes here
  </div>
</body>

By default Popup has a bit different size on phones and tablets (iPad). On phones it is fullscreen while on tablets it is 630px width and height. If you want to make it fullscreen size on tablets, you should add additional "popup-tablet-fullscreen" class to the required popup:

<body>
  ...
  <!-- This popup has fullscreen size on tablets -->
  <div class="popup popup-tablet-fullscreen">
    Any HTML content goes here
  </div>
</body>

Let's look at related App methods to work with Popup:

app.popup.create(parameters)- create Popup instance

  • parameters - object. Object with popup parameters

Method returns created Popup's instance

app.popup.destroy(el)- destroy Popup instance

  • el - HTMLElement or string (with CSS Selector) or object. Popup element or Popup instance to destroy.

app.popup.get(el)- get Popup instance by HTML element

  • el - HTMLElement or string (with CSS Selector). Popup element.

Method returns Popup's instance

app.popup.open(el, animate)- opens Popup

  • el - HTMLElement or string (with CSS Selector). Popup element to open.
  • animate - boolean. Open Popup with animation.

Method returns Popup's instance

app.popup.close(el, animate)- closes Popup

  • el - HTMLElement or string (with CSS Selector). Popup element to close.
  • animate - boolean. Close Popup with animation.

Method returns Popup's instance

Now let's look at list of available parameters we need to create Popup:

ParameterTypeDefaultDescription
elHTMLElementPopup element. Can be useful if you already have Popup element in your HTML and want to create new instance using this element
contentstringFull Popup HTML layout string. Can be useful if you want to create Popup element dynamically
backdropbooleantrueEnables Popup backdrop (dark semi transparent layer behind)
backdropElHTMLElement
string
HTML element or string CSS selector of custom backdrop element
closeByBackdropClickbooleantrueWhen enabled, popup will be closed on backdrop click
closeOnEscapebooleanfalseWhen enabled, popup will be closed on ESC keyboard key press
animatebooleantrueWhether the Popup should be opened/closed with animation or not. Can be overwritten in .open() and .close() methods
swipeToCloseboolean
string
falseWhether the Popup can be closed with swipe gesture. Can be true to allow to close popup with swipes to top and to bottom, or can be to-top (string) to allow only swipe to top to close popup, or to-bottom (string) to allow only swipe to bottom to close.
swipeHandlerHTMLElement
string
If not passed, then whole popup can be swiped to close. You can pass here HTML element or string CSS selector of custom element that will be used as a swipe target. (swipeToClose must be also enabled)
pushbooleanfalseWhen enabled it will push view behind on open. Works only when top safe area is in place. It can also be enabled by adding popup-push class to Popup element.
onobject

Object with events handlers. For example:

var popup = app.popup.create({
  content: '<div class="popup">...</div>',
  on: {
    opened: function () {
      console.log('Popup opened')
    }
  }
})

Note that all following parameters can be used in global app parameters under popup property to set defaults for all popups. For example:

var app = new Framework7({
  popup: {
    closeByBackdropClick: false,
  }
});

If you use auto-initialized popups (e.g. you don't create them via app.popup.create), it is possible to pass all available popup parameters via data- attributes. For example:

<!-- Pass parameters as kebab-case data attributes -->
<div class="popup" data-close-on-escape="true" data-swipe-to-close="to-bottom">
  ...
</div>

So to create Popup we have to call:

var popup = app.popup.create({ /* parameters */ })

After that we have its initialized instance (like popup variable in example above) with useful methods and properties:

Properties
popup.appLink to global app instance
popup.elPopup HTML element
popup.$elDom7 instance with popup HTML element
popup.backdropElBackdrop HTML element
popup.$backdropElDom7 instance with backdrop HTML element
popup.paramsPopup parameters
popup.openedBoolean prop indicating whether popup is opened or not
Methods
popup.open(animate)Open popup. Where
  • animate - boolean (by default true) - defines whether it should be opened with animation
popup.close(animate)Close popup. Where
  • animate - boolean (by default true) - defines whether it should be closed with animation
popup.destroy()Destroy popup
popup.on(event, handler)Add event handler
popup.once(event, handler)Add event handler that will be removed after it was fired
popup.off(event, handler)Remove event handler
popup.off(event)Remove all handlers for specified event
popup.emit(event, ...args)Fire event on instance

It is possible to open and close required popup (if you have them in DOM) using special classes and data attributes on links:

  • To open popup we need to add "popup-open" class to any HTML element (prefered to link)

  • To close popup we need to add "popup-close" class to any HTML element (prefered to link)

  • If you have more than one popup in DOM, you need to specify appropriate popup via additional data-popup=".my-popup" attribute on this HTML element

According to above note:

<!-- In data-popup attribute we specify CSS selector of popup we need to open -->
<p><a href="#" data-popup=".my-popup" class="popup-open">Open Popup</a></p>

<!-- And somewhere in DOM -->
<div class="popup my-popup">
  <div class="view">
    <div class="page">
      <div class="navbar">
        <div class="navbar-bg"></div>
        <div class="navbar-inner">
          <div class="title">Popup</div>
          <div class="right">
            <!-- Link to close popup -->
            <a class="link popup-close">Close</a>
          </div>
        </div>
      </div>
      <div class="page-content">
        ...
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
  ...
</div>

Popup will fire the following DOM events on popup element and events on app and popup instance:
