side voi 'top'

Name: side
Description: Which side of the anchor element to align the popup against. May automatically change to avoid collisions.
Type: voi
Default: 'top'

align penIn 'center'

Name: align
Description: How to align the popup relative to the specified side.

sideOffset an; }; 0

Name: sideOffset
Description: Distance between the anchor and the popup in pixels. Also accepts a function that returns the distance to read the dimensions of the anchor and positioner elements, along with its side and alignment. The function takes a data object parameter with the following properties: data.anchor: the dimensions of the anchor element with properties width and height.data.positioner: the dimensions of the positioner element with properties width and height.data.side: which side of the anchor element the positioner is aligned against.data.align: how the positioner is aligned relative to the specified side.
Type: an; };
Default: 0

Description: Additional offset along the alignment axis in pixels. Also accepts a function that returns the offset to read the dimensions of the anchor and positioner elements, along with its side and alignment. The function takes a data object parameter with the following properties: data.anchor: the dimensions of the anchor element with properties width and height.data.positioner: the dimensions of the positioner element with properties width and height.data.side: which side of the anchor element the positioner is aligned against.data.align: how the positioner is aligned relative to the specified side.

collisionBoundary ): void; openW 'clipping-ancestors'

Name: collisionBoundary
Description: An element or a rectangle that delimits the area that the popup is confined to.
Type: ): void; openW
Default: 'clipping-ancestors'

collisionAvoidance ngeReason): void; —

Name: collisionAvoidance
Description: Determines how to handle collisions when positioning the popup. side controls overflow on the preferred placement axis (top/bottom or left/right): 'flip': keep the requested side when it fits; otherwise try the opposite side
(top and bottom, or left and right).
'shift': never change side; keep the requested side and move the popup within the clipping boundary so it stays visible.
'none': do not correct side-axis overflow. align controls overflow on the alignment axis (start/center/end): 'flip': keep side, but swap start and end when the requested alignment overflows.
'shift': keep side and requested alignment, then nudge the popup along the alignment axis to fit.
'none': do not correct alignment-axis overflow. fallbackAxisSide controls fallback behavior on the perpendicular axis when the preferred axis cannot fit: 'start': allow perpendicular fallback and try the logical start side first
(top before bottom, or left before right in LTR).
'end': allow perpendicular fallback and try the logical end side first
(bottom before top, or right before left in LTR).
'none': do not fallback to the perpendicular axis. When side is 'shift', explicitly setting align only supports 'shift' or 'none'.
If align is omitted, it defaults to 'flip'.
Type: ngeReason): void;

arrowPadding ason: 5

Name: arrowPadding
Description: Minimum distance to maintain between the arrow and the edges of the popup. Use it to prevent the arrow element from hanging out of the rounded corners of a popup.
