Profile with Follow Button Hover Card for React

Q: How is the username link made the trigger?

HoverCardTrigger renders an anchor itself, so the username link is the trigger with href and its classes set on it.

Q: How wide is the card?

The default hover card width. Set a width class such as w-80 on the card to fit longer content.

The handle @haydenbleasel opens a profile with 2.5k followers, 180 following, and a Follow button across the card.

The trigger is @haydenbleasel. The card shows an avatar, Hayden Bleasel, the role, 2.5k followers, 180 following, and a full-width Follow button.

Use it where someone might follow without leaving the page. This button has no click handler. On touch, use a Popover. In React, Base UI only opens the card.

FAQ

What is in the card?

An Avatar, Hayden Bleasel, Product designer and developer, 2.5k followers and 180 following with the numbers in the foreground color, and a small Follow Button.

How is the username link made the trigger?

HoverCardTrigger renders an anchor itself, so the username link is the trigger with href and its classes set on it.

Does Follow do anything?

Not in the demo. Handle its press and switch it to Following when it succeeds. The card stays open while the pointer is inside it, so the button can be reached.

How wide is the card?

The default hover card width. Set a width class such as w-80 on the card to fit longer content.

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

The card opens a moment after the pointer rests on the trigger and stays up long enough for the pointer to move into it. Both delays are in milliseconds. The demo sets delay 10 and closeDelay 100 on HoverCardTrigger. side and align on HoverCardContent place it.

Does the card open from the keyboard and on touch screens?

Focusing the username opens the card, moving focus away or pressing Escape closes it. Tab then moves into the card, to the Follow button. Touch screens have no hover, so keep what matters reachable elsewhere, or use a Popover when the card has to open on a tap.
