``` ## Documentation ### Overview A popover is used to provide contextual information for another component on click. The popover itself is made up of two main elements: arrow and content. The content element follows the pattern of the popover box component, with a close icon in the top right corner, as well as a header and body. One of the directional modifiers (`.pf-m-left`, `.pf-m-top`, etc.) is required on the popover component ### Accessibility | Attribute | Applies to | Outcome | | ----------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `role="dialog"` | `.pf-c-popover` | Identifies the element that serves as the popover container. **Note:** `role="dialog"` is not included on the static examples on this page as it interferes with VoiceOver. Refer to the react examples to see the role in use. **Required** | | `aria-labelledby="[id value of .pf-c-title]"` | `.pf-c-popover` | Gives the popover an accessible name by referring to the element that provides the dialog title. **Required when .pf-c-title is present** | | `aria-label="[title of popover]"` | `.pf-c-popover` | Gives the popover an accessible name. **Required when .pf-c-title is _not_ present** | | `aria-describedby="[id value of applicable content]"` | `.pf-c-popover` | Gives the popover an accessible description by referring to the popover content that describes the primary message or purpose of the dialog.

The element with `.pf-c-popover` must not be a descendent of the element with `aria-hidden="true"`.
