Bootstrap 5 Popover
Popovers
The Popover component is similar to tooltips; it is a pop-up box that appears when the user clicks on an element. The difference is that the popover can contain much more content.
How To Create a Popover
To create a popover, add the data-bs-toggle="popover"
attribute to an element.
Use the title
attribute to specify the header text of the popover, and use the data-bs-content
attribute to specify the
text that should be displayed inside the popover's body:
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-bs-toggle="popover"
title="Popover Header" data-bs-content="Some content inside the
popover">Toggle popover</button>
Note: Popovers must be initialized with JavaScript to work.
The following code will enable all popovers in the document:
Example
<script>
var popoverTriggerList =
[].slice.call(document.querySelectorAll('[data-bs-toggle="popover"]'))
var
popoverList = popoverTriggerList.map(function (popoverTriggerEl) {
return new bootstrap.Popover(popoverTriggerEl)
})
</script>

Positioning Popovers
By default, the popover will appear on the right side of the element.
Use the data-bs-placement
attribute to set the position of the
popover on top, bottom, left or the right side of the element:
Example
<a href="#" title="Header" data-bs-toggle="popover" data-bs-placement="top" data-content="Content">Top</a>
<a href="#" title="Header" data-bs-toggle="popover" data-bs-placement="bottom" data-content="Content">Bottom</a>
<a href="#" title="Header" data-bs-toggle="popover" data-bs-placement="left" data-content="Content">Left</a>
<a href="#" title="Header" data-bs-toggle="popover" data-bs-placement="right" data-content="Content">Right</a>

Note: The placement attributes do not work as you expect if it is not enough room for them. For example: if you use the top placement at the top of a page (where it is no room for it), it will instead display the popover below the element or to the right (wherever it is room for it).
Closing Popovers
By default, the popover is closed when you click on the element
again. However, you can use the data-bs-trigger="focus"
attribute which will close
the popover when clicking outside the element:
Example
<a href="#" title="Dismissible popover" data-bs-toggle="popover"
data-bs-trigger="focus" data-bs-content="Click anywhere in the document to
close this popover">Click me</a>

Hoverable Popover
Tip: If you want the popover to be displayed when you move
the mouse pointer over the element, use the data-bs-trigger
attribute with a value of
"hover
":
Example
<a href="#" title="Header" data-bs-toggle="popover" data-bs-trigger="hover"
data-bs-content="Popover text">Hover over me</a>
