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

Popup layout is pretty simple:

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

Popup Size

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>

  • parameters - object. Object with popup parameters

Popup Parameters

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

Parameter Type Default Description
el HTMLElement Popup element. Can be useful if you already have Popup element in your HTML and want to create new instance using this element
content string Full Popup HTML layout string. Can be useful if you want to create Popup element dynamically
backdrop boolean true Enables Popup backdrop (dark semi transparent layer behind)
closeByBackdropClick boolean true When enabled, popup will be closed on backdrop click
animate boolean true Whether the Popup should be opened/closed with animation or not. Can be overwritten in .open() and .close() methods
on object 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,
  }
});

Popup Methods & Properties

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.app Link to global app instance
popup.el Popup HTML element
popup.$el Dom7 instance with popup HTML element
popup.backdropEl Backdrop HTML element
popup.$backdropEl Dom7 instance with backdrop HTML element
popup.params Popup parameters
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

Control Popup With Links

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-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>
