Material: Popover component similar to Bootstrap

design material
#1

I think popover component can be implement by mixing modal and dropdown elements. But to achieve the same effect as popover of bootstrap in material, I think there should be a dedicated component.

Currently there is no dedicated component for showing notification popover similar to

Material currently does not have the exact equivalent of Bootstrap’s popover, but this can be easily reproduced simple by using a dropdown element with some customised CSS maybe. A quick example below:

The code will roughly look like:

<div class="dropdown-menu dropdown-menu-right" style="min-width: 320px; padding-top: 0 !important; padding-bottom: 0 !important;">
    <div class="tile">
        <div class="tile-inner text-black">
            <strong>Notifications</strong>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="tile">
        <div class="tile-side pull-left">
            <div class="avatar avatar-sm">
                <img ...>
            </div>
        </div>
        <div class="tile-inner text-black">
            <span>...</span>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="tile">
        <div class="tile-side pull-left">
            <div class="avatar avatar-sm">
                <img ...>
            </div>
        </div>
        <div class="tile-inner text-black">
            <span>...</span>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="tile">
        <div class="tile-side pull-left">
            <div class="avatar avatar-sm">
                <img ...>
            </div>
        </div>
        <div class="tile-inner text-black">
            <span>...</span>
        </div>
    </div>
    <a class="tile">
        <div class="tile-inner text-black text-center">
            <span>Show All</span>
        </div>
    </a>
</div>

Hope this helps.

Perhaps we should be back-filling Bootstrap elements and making them Material-like?

Thanks for the code. Couldn’t have asked for anything more. It’s working like a charm.

I don’t know about other elements of bootstrap but I am sure that code above is very good replacement of bootstrap popover.

But if you are implementing a popover. Make sure to implement right margin feature. Let’s say if we are having 2-3 popover in the top navbar then the right margin of all them should not be independent, they should be same as seen in facebook and google.
