Popover with Actions for React

An Actions button that opens Edit, Share, and a destructive Delete, each full width, and each one closes the panel.

Actions opens three full-width buttons: Edit, Share, and Delete. Delete uses the destructive style. Each one closes the panel. The title Actions is hidden and read by screen readers.

Use it for a few actions on one item when a menu would be more chrome than help. Delete should still confirm if it cannot be undone, in an Alert Dialog. In React, Base UI does not run Edit, Share, or Delete.

FAQ

How are Edit, Share, and Delete laid out?

Three Buttons with w-full, spaced by gap-2 on the panel. Edit uses the default variant, Share variant="outline" and Delete variant="destructive". Choosing any of them closes the panel.

How do I close this panel from code?

Edit, Share and Delete each close the panel. Here the panel is controlled: open and onOpenChange on Popover, and the button's handler sets the state to false. The callback gets the next open state first.

How does the Actions button become the trigger?

The trigger is a Button with variant="outline" and the label Actions. PopoverTitle reads Actions and has className="sr-only". Pass the button to render on PopoverTrigger, and use PopoverContent as the panel.

What order are the actions in?

Edit, then Share, then Delete, which is the order of the buttons in the file. Delete is the one with variant="destructive". Share is variant="outline". All three are w-full.

Where is the panel title?

PopoverTitle is sr-only and reads Actions, the same word as the trigger. The three buttons are the visible content.

How does this panel dismiss?

Escape closes the panel and returns focus to the trigger. A click outside closes it too. The panel sits beside the button, and the rest of the page stays usable.
