Direction

Viewport

Device view renders in an isolated frame so real responsive breakpoints apply. Switch to Full for overflowing popovers.

Installation

terminal

php artisan ui:add hover-card

Behavior layer (Alpine)

This component installs a self-registering Alpine module to resources/js/ui/hover-card.js. Import the behavior layer once from your bundle so it loads (it hooks alpine:init):

resources/js/ui/index.js JS

import './hover-card.js';

Registry contract

Install confidence

php artisan ui:add hover-card writes only the generated targets below. The CLI validates each file hash before writing and prompts before replacing local changes unless --force is used.

Guidance

Contextual overlay

Show lightweight contextual details or actions.

Use when

Use for lightweight contextual details or actions near a trigger. Do not use for long content, required reading, or complex interaction flows.

Avoid when

Avoid using hover-card as a default simply because it is available in the library. Choose it only when its interaction cost, visibility, and behavior match the job to be done.

Task length: micro
Interaction cost: medium
Interruptiveness: low
Input precision: none
Mobile / touch risk: high
Accessibility risk: high
Needs background context: Yes
Comparison needed: No

Preferred alternatives

Inline disclosure
Sheet or page for longer content

Anti-patterns

Required reading in a popover
Complex forms in fragile anchored overlays

API

manifest knowledge + registry-derived coverage

Usage

previews.components.hover-card.default.blade.php Blade

<p class="text-sm text-muted-foreground">
    {{ __('Created by') }}
    <x-ui.hover-card>
        <x-ui.hover-card.trigger class="font-medium text-foreground">
            {{ __('@username') }}
        </x-ui.hover-card.trigger>

        <x-ui.hover-card.content>
            <div class="space-y-1">
                <p class="text-sm font-semibold text-popover-foreground">{{ __('Jane Doe') }}</p>
                <p class="text-sm text-muted-foreground">{{ __('Product designer building accessible UI components.') }}</p>
            </div>
        </x-ui.hover-card.content>
    </x-ui.hover-card>
    {{ __('a few minutes ago.') }}
</p>

Accessibility & localization

WCAG 2.2 AA RTL-ready data-slot Keyboard focus-visible Localized labels

Accessibility target: wcag-2.2-aa-target.
Uses semantic HTML and a stable data-slot attribute for styling/scripting hooks.
Focus-visible rings use the ring token so keyboard focus is always visible.
Disabled and invalid states are conveyed to assistive tech, not by color alone.
Targets WCAG 2.2 AA; verify contrast in light, dark, admin and customer surfaces above.
Labels go through __() and the component uses logical properties (ms-*, text-start, start-*) so it mirrors correctly — flip the preview to RTL to confirm.

Source

The exact, editable file ui:add writes into your app — copy it or own the whole thing. Previews render this same code; there are no preview-only components.

Changelog

Current version: v1.0.2. See the site changelog for the full release history.
