API Reference

Generated from the component's exported types.

MorphingPopoverProps

Extends HTMLAttributes<HTMLDivElement>

Prop	Type	Default	Description
`open`	`boolean`	—	Controlled open state. When provided, the component is fully controlled.
`defaultOpen`	`boolean`	`false`	Initial open state for the uncontrolled case.
`onOpenChange`	`(open: boolean) => void`	—	Called whenever the open state should change (controlled or not).
`transition`	`Transition`	`MORPHING_POPOVER_TRANSITION`	Override the morph spring (advanced — defaults to the Cronus morph spring).
`reducedMotion`	`"user" \| "always" \| "never"`	`"user"`	How `prefers-reduced-motion` is honoured. Defaults to `"user"`: users who opt out get a fade instead of the layout morph. Pass `"never"` to always play the morph (e.g. a showcase that must demonstrate the animation), or `"always"` to force the reduced variant for everyone.
`children`	`ReactNode`	—	Contents of the component.
`className`	`string`	—	Additional class names merged onto the root.
`id`	`string`	—	DOM id of the root element.

MorphingPopoverTriggerProps

Extends Omit< React.ComponentPropsWithoutRef<typeof motion.button>, "ref" | "children" | "onClick" >

Prop	Type	Default	Description
`children`	`ReactNode`	—	Contents of the component.
`onClick`	`(event: React.MouseEvent<HTMLButtonElement>) => void`	—	Extra click handler; runs alongside the open toggle.
`asChild`	`boolean`	—	Render as the child element via Slot.
`className`	`string`	—	Additional class names merged onto the root.

MorphingPopoverContentProps

Extends Omit<React.ComponentPropsWithoutRef<typeof motion.div>, "ref" | "children">

Prop	Type	Default	Description
`children`	`ReactNode`	—	Contents of the component.
`aria-label`	`string`	—	Accessible name when the content has no visible heading to point at.
`aria-labelledby`	`string`	—	Id of a visible heading element (e.g. a ).
`asChild`	`boolean`	—	Render as the child element via Slot.
`className`	`string`	—	Additional class names merged onto the root.

MorphingPopoverCloseProps

Extends ButtonHTMLAttributes<HTMLButtonElement>

Prop	Type	Default	Description
`type`	`string`	—	Native type of the underlying element.

Feedback

The trigger physically morphs into a small non-modal dialog instead of fading in beside it. Inside: an accessible, labelled textarea and a footer that pairs Close with a submit. Focus moves into the surface on open and returns to the trigger on close; Escape and outside-click both dismiss. Submit is local-only — it flips to a thank-you state and auto-closes. Honours reduced-motion.

Quick actions

A poppy menu: the trigger morphs into a compact list of MorphingPopoverButton rows with leading lucide icons. Each row closes the surface on activation. Full keyboard + screen-reader support comes from the dialog wiring (aria-haspopup/expanded/controls, focus trap-in/return).
