Popper.js
community
A library used to manage poppers in web applications. Popper.js is a positioning engine, its purpose is to calculate the position of an element to make it possible to position it near a given reference element.
Popper.js has zero dependencies. No jQuery, no LoDash, nothing.
It's used by big companies like Twitter in Bootstrap v4, Microsoft in WebClipper and Atlassian in AtlasKit.
Some of the key points are:
- Position elements keeping them in their original DOM context (doesn't mess with your DOM!);
- Allows to export the computed information to integrate with React and other view libraries;
- Supports Shadow DOM elements;
- Completely customizable thanks to the modifiers based structure;
