Event Preview Hover Card for React

Team Planning Session opens a card with an Upcoming badge, a short description, the date, a 90 minute slot, and 12 attendees.

The trigger is the name Team Planning Session. The card adds an Upcoming badge, a description of the quarterly planning meeting, Monday, January 15, 2024, 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM, and 12 attendees.

It belongs on a calendar or an agenda when the name is not enough. Touch screens have no hover, so a Popover is the stand-in. In React, Base UI keeps the card open while the pointer moves onto it.

How do I change how fast the card opens and closes?

Focusing the event name opens the card, moving focus away or pressing Escape closes it. Touch screens have no hover, so keep what matters reachable elsewhere, or use a Popover when the card has to open on a tap.
