What and why?

Gutenberg can be used as a platform/framework to build block editors. Mainly thanks to the @wordpress/block-editor package. That said, the experience today is not as straightforward as it can be. There can be a lot of small gotchas and hacks you need to do in order to achieve the desired result. One of these small things is the need to manually render Popover.Slot somewhere in the React tree.

I think ideally, Popover components should work properly out of the box without any provider or slot, and only if we really want to control their position in the DOM, we should use Popover.Slot.

This PR does that by using an "automatic container" for all popovers that is appended to the end of the "body" of the document if there's no slot that is defined manually using Popover.Slot. I think that's a better default than inlining popovers which breaks all the styles and more.

Todo:

  • I've noticed that when the anchor is within an iframe, the popover is not offset properly to the position of the iframe (you can test for instance the appender of the navigation block). I'm not entirely sure how to fix that because I thought we had that offsetting in place already. cc @talldan @ciampo

Testing Instructions

1- Check that the stories updates (removal of popover and slot provider) still work properly.
2- Navigate the editor and ensure popovers, tooltips, drodowns are shown properly.

I'm removing this test because IMO, this test is just useless. It tests just the snapshot of the elements which IMO is just internal implementation details that will change every time we change how the component renders.

Ok, so I've just realized that trunk also has the "navigation" dropdown offset, so it's not related to iframing or the current PR. Meaning this one should be ready to go. :)

I believe this is related to the positioning issue @youknowriad mentioned above, but the problem is obvious in the 'Toggle Popover' examples in Storybook. The popover is rendering but is positioned out of view:

I tested this against the PR @jsnajdr mentioned above but am encountering the same result, where the examples in Storybook appear broken after this PR merge.

The popover is rendering but is positioned out of view:

I don't have a solution yet, just an observation: before this PR, the Storybook popover was rendered inline inside the "Toggle Popover" button. Now it's rendered inside a portal element that's a direct child of the document's body.

Seems to me that the Floating UI positioning algorithm runs into troubles in a situation where the reference (anchor) element is in an element that is scrollable (overflow: auto) and is actually scrolled. Then the positioning doesn't account for the scroll position.

The Storybook page has a large (300vw x 300vh) scrollable "canvas" element where the "Toggle Popover" button is rendered in its center, and there is an useEffect( () => { buttonEl.scrollIntoView() } ) call that scrolls the canvas to make it visible.

In the PR (#46845) that upgrades Floating UI to latest version and removes all custom iframe positioning, I see a slightly broken behavior in the Site Editor "zoom out mode". And there is also a scrolling element there!

The problem was that the "anchor" was not rendered at the expected position. It should be fixed by #53982

👋🏼 Just reporting in that I bisected an issue we were having down to f7741a9 in this PR --

Before the pr -- up to version 16.5, we were doing some pop-up calendars with a Team51 simple-events plugin that looked like this:

Screenshot 2023-09-27 at 3 39 30 PM

but after, a lot of the styling that would ordinarily propagate through the Emotion js/css library is missing, leading them to look like this:

Screenshot 2023-09-27 at 3 41 58 PM

When I check the source, when it's behaving, the emotion style attributes seem to line up correctly like this:

Screenshot 2023-09-26 at 3 47 14 PM Screenshot 2023-09-26 at 3 46 45 PM

But after this goes in, they don't match properly, so the styles don't seem to apply as they aught:

Screenshot 2023-09-27 at 2 29 44 PM Screenshot 2023-09-27 at 2 29 24 PM

I'm a bit out of my league here, but any guidance on if it's an upstream issue, or if we're implementing something incorrectly? I'm happy to add anyone to our plugin repo for direct code access if it can help illuminate the issue.

Hey @georgestephanis , you should be able to get back to the same Popover behaviour as before, as @youknowriad also explained in #53982 (comment):

Just noting that regardless of what you're trying to do, it's possible to have the exact behavior as before:

  • If you want to render the popover inline you can just pass the "inline" prop.
  • If you want to render the popover in a specific position you can use the Popover.Slot component.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the pointer, @ciampo! I'm making some progress with it -- but the code we've got is using Dropdown, rather than Popover directly -- so if I add in popoverProps={ { inline: 'inline' } } to the Dropdown I get something ... close ... ish. The datepicker table styles seem to propagate as they should, but it seems there's some other interfering styles as well --

Screenshot 2023-09-27 at 7 44 19 PM

I assume it's likely because of where in the hierarchy it is rendering inline, rather than where it used to, higher up in an autogenerated popover slot.

Screenshot 2023-09-27 at 7 46 31 PM

Is there an example somewhere that I can work off of to recreate the higher slot based rendering to match the prior behavior?

Haven't double-checked, but maybe we just missed applying the inline prop to the Popover instance in the Dropdown component?

I think if you apply popoverProps={ { inline: true } } to the Dropdown, we're supposed to get the exact same DOM position as before, so the styles should be the same. Maybe there's something else at play here.

@youknowriad: At the risk of asking a stupid question, does this reliance on a global document carry any consequences for usages of Popover within/across the iframe boundary of block editors?

no, I don't think there's impact on the iframe slots here. This one is the fallback if there's no Slot defined while if we had to render something within the iframe previously we were forced to have a Slot.

Maybe to be extra thorough, we could use the anchor or the floating's ownerDocument?
