CompositeHover

Composite

Renders an element in a composite widget that receives focus on mouse move and loses focus to the composite base element on mouse leave.

This should be combined with the CompositeItem component. The focusOnHover and blurOnHoverEnd props can be used to customize the behavior.

Code examples

<CompositeProvider>

  <Composite>

    <CompositeHover render={<CompositeItem />}>

      Item

    </CompositeHover>

  </Composite>

</CompositeProvider>

Optional Props

blurOnHoverEnd

BooleanOrCallback<React.MouseEvent<HTMLElement, MouseEvent>> | undefined

Determines if the composite item should lose focus when the mouse leaves. By default, this is set to true if focusOnHover is true.

focusOnHover

BooleanOrCallback<React.MouseEvent<HTMLElement, MouseEvent>> | undefined = true

Determines if the composite item should be focused when hovered over.

Note that the actual DOM focus will stay on the composite element. This item will get the data-active-item attribute so it can be styled as if it's focused.

render

Allows the component to be rendered as a different HTML element or React component. The value can be a React element or a function that takes in the original component props and gives back a React element with the props merged.
