title: "Hover Card"
description: "A preview card for supplementary link information."

Interactive preview: https://ui.coderocket.app/docs/components/hover-card

## Usage

Get this component from a [saved library export](/docs/export) or the [connected CLI](/docs/agents). The imports below refer to local files installed in your app.

Import `styles/components.css`, then `styles/theme.css` once. Wrap your app in `ThemeScope` from `components/ui/utils` so typography, focus and overlays share the theme. The [installation guide](/docs/export) covers runtime dependencies and React/Next.js setup.

```tsx
import { HoverCard } from './components/ui/hover-card';

<HoverCard label="@alex" href="#profile"><strong>Alex Morgan</strong><p className="cr-description">Designer and developer.</p></HoverCard>
```

## Design system

This component consumes your semantic colors, spacing, typography and shape tokens. Import the compiled styles and your theme once as described in [Export](/docs/export).

## Behavior and accessibility

- Provide meaningful labels for interactive controls.
- Connect action callbacks to your application logic.
- Verify keyboard navigation and contrast in your application.

Status: **experimental** during early access. Sample previews do not send emails, process payments or upload files to a service.

## Source and props

This is the exported source, using the same implementation as the editor.

```tsx
"use client";
import { PreviewCard as Base } from "@base-ui/react/preview-card";
import type { ComponentProps, ReactNode } from "react";
import { usePortalContainer } from "./utils";
export function HoverCard({
  label,
  href,
  children,
  side = "bottom",
  align = "start",
  ...rootProps
}: Omit<ComponentProps<typeof Base.Root>, "children"> & {
  label: string;
  href: string;
  children: ReactNode;
  side?: ComponentProps<typeof Base.Positioner>["side"];
  align?: ComponentProps<typeof Base.Positioner>["align"];
}) {
  const container = usePortalContainer();
  return (
    <Base.Root {...rootProps}>
      <Base.Trigger href={href} className="cr-link">
        {label}
      </Base.Trigger>
      <Base.Portal container={container}>
        <Base.Positioner
          side={side}
          align={align}
          sideOffset={8}
          className="cr-positioner"
        >
          <Base.Popup className="cr-popup cr-hover-card">{children}</Base.Popup>
        </Base.Positioner>
      </Base.Portal>
    </Base.Root>
  );
}
