Chakra UI Overaly Popover component creates an interactive and visually appealing pop-up overlay in the React application. We can embed the components in realtime usage like basic conformations, customized content, lazy-loaded components, controlled popovers, etc. In this article, we will create the practical implementation of the Chakra UI Overlay Popover component with proper examples and output.

Prerequisites:

We have created the demonstration of the Chakra UI Overlay Popover component. This demonstration consists of various variants of Popover elements and also includes the customized Popover element with custom styling and color applied to it. We can customize the Chakra UI Overlay Popover component by using its various props and styling.

cd chakra

Step 3: After creating the React application, Install the required package using the following command:

npm i @chakra-ui/react @emotion/react@^11 @emotion/styled@^11 framer-motion@^6
