### Basic Popover Usage in React Native

Source: https://github.com/steffeydev/react-native-popover-view/blob/master/README.md

This example demonstrates the simplest way to use the Popover component. It automatically shows when the child TouchableOpacity is pressed. Note that any existing onPress or ref props on the TouchableOpacity will be overwritten.

```jsx
import React from 'react';
import Popover from 'react-native-popover-view';

function App() {
  return (
    <Popover
      from=(
        <TouchableOpacity>
          <Text>Press here to open popover!</Text>
        </TouchableOpacity>
      ))>
      <Text>This is the contents of the popover</Text>
    </Popover>
  );
}
```

--------------------------------

### Advanced Popover Usage in React Native

Source: https://github.com/steffeydev/react-native-popover-view/blob/master/README.md

This example shows advanced usage where you control the popover's anchor element and visibility. The popover anchors to the text inside the popover and is shown on a long press. The sourceRef is used to identify the anchor element, and showPopover is a callback to trigger the popover's display.

```jsx
import React from 'react';
import Popover from 'react-native-popover-view';

function App() {
  return (
    <Popover
      from={(sourceRef, showPopover) => (
        <View>
          <TouchableOpacity onLongPress={showPopover}>
            <Text ref={sourceRef}>Press here to open popover!</Text>
          </TouchableOpacity>
        </View>
      ))}>
      <Text>This is the contents of the popover</Text>
    </Popover>
  );
}
```

--------------------------------

### Use Popover with Safe Area Context

Source: https://github.com/steffeydev/react-native-popover-view/blob/master/README.md

Integrates the Popover component with react-native-safe-area-context to respect screen insets. Requires `react-native-safe-area-context` to be installed.

```jsx
import { useSafeAreaInsets } from 'react-native-safe-area-context';
import Popover from 'react-native-popover-view';

function PopoverSafeWrapper(props) {
  const insets = useSafeAreaInsets();
  return (
    <Popover {...props} displayAreaInsets={insets} />
  );
}
```

--------------------------------

### Handle Popover Lifecycle Events

Source: https://context7.com/steffeydev/react-native-popover-view/llms.txt

Use `onOpenStart`, `onOpenComplete`, `onCloseStart`, `onCloseComplete`, and `onPositionChange` to hook into popover animation phases. Useful for synchronizing UI state or analytics.

```jsx
import React, { useState } from 'react';
import { TouchableOpacity, Text, View } from 'react-native';
import Popover from 'react-native-popover-view';

export default function LifecyclePopover() {
  const [status, setStatus] = useState('closed');

  return (
    <View style={{ flex: 1, alignItems: 'center', justifyContent: 'center' }}>
      <Text style={{ marginBottom: 12 }}>Status: {status}</Text>
      <Popover
        onOpenStart={() => setStatus('opening…')}
        onOpenComplete={() => setStatus('open')}
        onCloseStart={() => setStatus('closing…')}
        onCloseComplete={() => setStatus('closed')}
        onPositionChange={() => console.log('Popover moved to new position')}
        from=(
          <TouchableOpacity style={{ padding: 12, backgroundColor: '#2196f3', borderRadius: 8 }}>
            <Text style={{ color: 'white' }}>Tap to open</Text>
          </TouchableOpacity>
        )
      >
        <View style={{ padding: 16 }}>
          <Text>Watch the status label above.</Text>
        </View>
      </Popover>
    </View>
  );
}
```

--------------------------------

### Using Class Components with Popover

Source: https://github.com/steffeydev/react-native-popover-view/blob/master/README.md

Demonstrates how to use `react-native-popover-view` with class components by utilizing `createRef` to manage the popover's anchor element and state for visibility.

```jsx
import React, { createRef } from 'react';
import Popover from 'react-native-popover-view';

class App extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);

    this.touchable = createRef();
    this.state = {
      showPopover: false
    }
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <>
        <TouchableOpacity ref={this.touchable} onPress={() => this.setState({ showPopover: true })}>
          <Text>Press here to open popover!</Text>
        </TouchableOpacity>
        <Popover
          from={this.touchable}
          isVisible={this.state.showPopover}
          onRequestClose={() => this.setState({ showPopover: false })}>
          <Text>This is the contents of the popover</Text>
        </Popover>
      </>
    );
  }
}

```

--------------------------------

### Using Rect and Size for Geometry

Source: https://context7.com/steffeydev/react-native-popover-view/llms.txt

Utilize `Rect` and `Size` classes for defining popover anchors and display areas. These classes include equality checking and can also accept plain JavaScript objects.

```tsx
import { Rect, Size } from 'react-native-popover-view';

// Create a Rect representing a screen region
const anchor = new Rect(50, 100, 200, 60);
console.log(anchor.x, anchor.y, anchor.width, anchor.height); // 50 100 200 60

// Clone and compare
const clone = Rect.clone(anchor);
console.log(clone.equals(anchor)); // true

// Size for arrowSize prop
const arrowSize = new Size(20, 10);
console.log(arrowSize.width, arrowSize.height); // 20 10
console.log(arrowSize.equals(new Size(20, 10))); // true

// Pass plain object instead of new Rect() (also accepted by Popover)
const plainRect = { x: 50, y: 100, width: 200, height: 60 };
// <Popover from={plainRect} ... />
```

--------------------------------

### Enable Debugging for Popover Placement

Source: https://context7.com/steffeydev/react-native-popover-view/llms.txt

Set `debug={true}` to log detailed geometry calculations to the console, aiding in troubleshooting placement issues. Ensure necessary imports are included.

```jsx
import React from 'react';
import { TouchableOpacity, Text, View } from 'react-native';
import Popover from 'react-native-popover-view';

export default function DebugPopover() {
  return (
    <View style={{ flex: 1, alignItems: 'center', justifyContent: 'center' }}>
      {/* debug=true logs all internal geometry computations to the console */}
      <Popover
        debug={true}
        from=(
          <TouchableOpacity
            // Android: needed for ref-based measurement
            renderToHardwareTextureAndroid={true}
            collapsable={false}
            style={{ padding: 12, backgroundColor: '#795548', borderRadius: 8 }}
          >
            <Text style={{ color: 'white' }}>Debug Mode</Text>
          </TouchableOpacity>
        )
      >
        <View style={{ padding: 16 }}>
          <Text>Check your console for geometry logs.</Text>
        </View>
      </Popover>
    </View>
  );
}
```

--------------------------------

### Show Popover as Tooltip

Source: https://github.com/steffeydev/react-native-popover-view/blob/master/README.md

Use `PopoverMode.TOOLTIP` to display a popover without dimming the background. Manual visibility control is required as `onRequestClose` will not be called.

```jsx
import React, { useRef, useState } from 'react';
import Popover, { PopoverMode, PopoverPlacement } from 'react-native-popover-view';

function App() {
  const [showPopover, setShowPopover] = useState(false);

  return (
    <Popover
      mode={PopoverMode.TOOLTIP}
      placement={PopoverPlacement.TOP}
      isVisible={showPopover}
      from=(
        <TouchableOpacity onPress={() => setShowPopover(true)}>
          <Text>Press here to open popover!</Text>
        </TouchableOpacity>
      ))>
      <>
        <Text>This is the contents of the popover</Text>
        <TouchableOpacity onPress={() => setShowPopover(false)}>
          <Text>Dismiss</Text>
        </TouchableOpacity>
      </>
    </Popover>
  );
}

```

--------------------------------

### Show Popover from Element Reference

Source: https://github.com/steffeydev/react-native-popover-view/blob/master/README.md

Pass a `ref` to the `Popover`'s `from` prop to anchor it to a specific element, even if the popover and the element are in different parts of the component tree.

```jsx
import React, { useRef, useState } from 'react';
import Popover from 'react-native-popover-view';

function App() {
  const touchable = useRef();
  const [showPopover, setShowPopover] = useState(false);

  return (
    <>
      <TouchableOpacity ref={touchable} onPress={() => setShowPopover(true)}>
        <Text>Press here to open popover!</Text>
      </TouchableOpacity>
      <Popover from={touchable} isVisible={showPopover} onRequestClose={() => setShowPopover(false)}>
        <Text>This is the contents of the popover</Text>
      </Popover>
    </>
  );
}
```

--------------------------------

### Show Popover from Predetermined Position

Source: https://github.com/steffeydev/react-native-popover-view/blob/master/README.md

Anchor the popover to a specific screen location by providing a `Rect(x, y, width, height)` object to the `from` prop. A `Rect` with zero width and height anchors to a point.

```jsx
import React, { useState } from 'react';
import Popover, { Rect } from 'react-native-popover-view';

function App() {
  const [showPopover, setShowPopover] = useState(false);

  return (
    <>
      <TouchableOpacity onPress={() => setShowPopover(true)}>
        <Text>Press here to open popover!</Text>
      </TouchableOpacity>
      <Popover from={new Rect(5, 100, 20, 40)} isVisible={showPopover} onRequestClose={() => setShowPopover(false)}>
        <Text>This is the contents of the popover</Text>
      </Popover>
    </>
  );
}
```

--------------------------------

### Popover View Props

Source: https://github.com/steffeydev/react-native-popover-view/blob/master/README.md

All props are optional and can be used to customize the popover's behavior and appearance.

```APIDOC
## Props

All props are optional

Prop              | Type     | Default     | Description
----------------- | -------- | ----------- | ----------- 
from              | multiple | null        | Popover source. See [From](#from) section below.
isVisible         | bool     | false       | Show/Hide the popover. Required if `from` is *not* a Touchable or function that uses `showPopover` call (see examples). If supplied, takes precedence regardless of `from`.
mode              | string   | 'rn-modal'  | One of: 'rn-modal', 'js-modal', 'tooltip'. See [Mode](#mode) section below for details.
placement         | string OR string list | 'auto'      | How to position the popover, one of 'top', 'bottom', 'left', 'right', 'floating', or 'auto'. When 'auto' is specified, it will try to determine the best placement so that the popover is fully visible within `displayArea`. If an array of options is passed in, it will pick the first option that can accommodate the content.
offset            | number   | 0           | The amount to shift the popover away from the source. Does not apply if the popover is centered.
popoverStyle      | object   |             | The style of the popover itself. You can override the `borderRadius`, `backgroundColor`, or any other [`style` prop for a `View`](https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/view-style-props.html).
popoverShift      | object   |             | How much to shift the popover in each direction, as a multiplier. Object of shape `{ x: -1 to 1, y: -1 to 1 }`, where both `x` and `y` are optional. `-1` shifts the popover all the way to the left/top and `1` shifts it to the right/bottom. Currently only applies when placement is `floating`, but this will apply to all placements in a future version.
backgroundStyle   | object   |             | The style of the background view. Default is a black background with 0.5 opacity.
arrowSize         | object   | `{ width: 16, height: 8 }` | The size of the arrow, as an object with `width` & `height` properties. The width of the arrow is the size of the arrow on the edge that touches the popover (base of isosceles triangle), while the height covers the distance from the popover to the source view, regardless of the placement of the popover. You can use `{ width: 0, height: 0 }` to hide the arrow completely.
arrowShift        | number   | 0           | How much to shift the arrow to either side, as a multiplier. `-1` will shift it all the way to the left (or top) corner of the source view, while `1` will shift it all the way to the right (or bottom) corner.  A value of `0.5` or `-0.8` will shift it partly to one side.
onOpenStart       | function |             | Callback to be fired when the open animation starts (before animation)
onOpenComplete    | function |             | Callback to be fired when the open animation ends (after animation)
onRequestClose    | function |             | Callback to be fired when the user taps outside the popover (on the background) or taps the system back button on Android
onCloseStart      | function |             | Callback to be fired when the popover starts closing (before animation)
onCloseComplete   | function |             | Callback to be fired when the popover is finished closing (after animation)
onPositionChange  | function |             | Callback to be fired when the popover position finishes moving position (after animation)
animationConfig   | object   |             | An object containing any configuration options that can be passed to Animated.timing (e.g. `{ duration: 600, easing: Easing.inOut(Easing.quad) }`).  The configuration options you pass will override the defaults for all animations.
displayArea       | rect     |             | Area where the popover is allowed to be displayed.  By default, this will be automatically calculated to be the size of the display, or the size of the parent component if mode is not 'rn-modal'.
displayAreaInsets | object   |             | Insets to apply to the display area.  The Popover will not be allowed to go beyond the display area minus the insets.
statusBarTranslucent | bool  | true        | For 'rn-modal' mode on Android only. Determines whether the background should go under the status bar. Passed through to RN `Modal` component, see [their docs](https://reactnative.dev/docs/modal#statusbartranslucent-1) as well.
debug             | bool     | false       | Set this to `true` to turn on debug logging to the console.  This is useful for figuring out why a Popover isn't showing.
```

--------------------------------

### Show Popover and Close Programmatically

Source: https://github.com/steffeydev/react-native-popover-view/blob/master/README.md

Use a `ref` to access the `Popover` instance and call `requestClose()` to dismiss it programmatically. This is useful when the dismiss action is triggered from within the popover's content.

```jsx
import React, { useRef } from 'react';
import Popover from 'react-native-popover-view';

function App() {
  const popoverRef = useRef();

  return (
    <Popover
      ref={popoverRef}
      from=(
        <TouchableOpacity>
          <Text>Press here to open popover!</Text>
        </TouchableOpacity>
      )>      <TouchableOpacity onPress={() => popoverRef.current.requestClose()}>
        <Text>Tap to close me</Text>
      </TouchableOpacity>
    </Popover>
  );
}
```

--------------------------------

### Customize Popover Appearance with Style Props

Source: https://context7.com/steffeydev/react-native-popover-view/llms.txt

Use `popoverStyle`, `backgroundStyle`, `arrowSize`, and `arrowShift` to customize the popover bubble, dimming background, and arrow. Includes custom animation configuration.

```jsx
import React from 'react';
import { Easing, TouchableOpacity, Text, View } from 'react-native';
import Popover from 'react-native-popover-view';

export default function StyledPopover() {
  return (
    <Popover
      // Popover bubble: dark background, rounded corners, shadow
      popoverStyle={{
        backgroundColor: '#1a1a2e',
        borderRadius: 12,
        shadowColor: '#000',
        shadowOffset: { width: 0, height: 4 },
        shadowOpacity: 0.4,
        shadowRadius: 8,
        elevation: 10
      }}
      // Dimming overlay: semi-transparent blue tint
      backgroundStyle={{ backgroundColor: 'rgba(0, 0, 100, 0.3)' }}
      // Arrow: wider and taller
      arrowSize={{ width: 24, height: 14 }}
      // Shift arrow 30% toward the right corner of the source
      arrowShift={0.3}
      // Custom animation: slower, elastic easing
      animationConfig={{ duration: 500, easing: Easing.elastic(1.2) }}
      from=(
        <TouchableOpacity style={{ padding: 12, backgroundColor: '#e040fb', borderRadius: 8 }}>
          <Text style={{ color: 'white' }}>Styled Popover</Text>
        </TouchableOpacity>
      )
    >
      <View style={{ padding: 16 }}>
        <Text style={{ color: 'white' }}>Custom styled content</Text>
      </View>
    </Popover>
  );
}
```

--------------------------------

### Popover Component - Show from Touchable Element

Source: https://context7.com/steffeydev/react-native-popover-view/llms.txt

Use the `from` prop with a Touchable element for simple popover integration. The popover automatically shows when the element is pressed, eliminating the need for external visibility state management.

```jsx
import React from 'react';
import { TouchableOpacity, Text, View } from 'react-native';
import Popover from 'react-native-popover-view';

export default function App() {
  return (
    <View style={{ flex: 1, alignItems: 'center', justifyContent: 'center' }}>
      <Popover
        from=(
          <TouchableOpacity style={{ padding: 12, backgroundColor: '#0066cc', borderRadius: 8 }}>
            <Text style={{ color: 'white' }}>Open Popover</Text>
          </TouchableOpacity>
        )
      >
        <View style={{ padding: 16 }}>
          <Text style={{ fontSize: 16 }}>Hello from the popover!</Text>
        </View>
      </Popover>
    </View>
  );
}
```

--------------------------------

### Show Popover from a Rect or Point

Source: https://context7.com/steffeydev/react-native-popover-view/llms.txt

Anchor the popover to a specific on-screen position using a `Rect` object or a plain coordinate object. Useful for fixed UI elements or custom positioning.

```jsx
import React, { useState } from 'react';
import { TouchableOpacity, Text, View } from 'react-native';
import Popover, { Rect } from 'react-native-popover-view';

export default function RectPopover() {
  const [visible, setVisible] = useState(false);

  return (
    <View style={{ flex: 1, alignItems: 'center', justifyContent: 'center' }}>
      <TouchableOpacity onPress={() => setVisible(true)} style={{ padding: 12, backgroundColor: '#267326', borderRadius: 8 }}>
        <Text style={{ color: 'white' }}>Show at fixed rect</Text>
      </TouchableOpacity>

      {/* Popover anchored to the rect (x=40, y=120, w=80, h=40) */}
      <Popover
        from={new Rect(40, 120, 80, 40)}
        isVisible={visible}
        onRequestClose={() => setVisible(false)}
      >
        <View style={{ padding: 16 }}>
          <Text>Anchored to a fixed screen region.</Text>
        </View>
      </Popover>

      {/* Or anchor to a single point: */}
      {/* <Popover from={{ x: 200, y: 300 }} isVisible={visible} onRequestClose={() => setVisible(false)}> */}
    </View>
  );
}
```

--------------------------------

### Show Popover from a Ref (Decoupled Trigger)

Source: https://context7.com/steffeydev/react-native-popover-view/llms.txt

Use this when the trigger element and the Popover component are in separate branches of the component tree. Pass a ref to the `from` prop.

```jsx
import React, { useRef, useState } from 'react';
import { TouchableOpacity, Text, View } from 'react-native';
import Popover from 'react-native-popover-view';

export default function RefPopover() {
  const buttonRef = useRef(null);
  const [visible, setVisible] = useState(false);

  return (
    <View style={{ flex: 1 }}>
      {/* Trigger lives in a different part of the tree */}
      <TouchableOpacity
        ref={buttonRef}
        onPress={() => setVisible(true)}
        style={{ margin: 20, padding: 12, backgroundColor: '#5c2d91', borderRadius: 8 }}
      >
        <Text style={{ color: 'white' }}>Open (ref-based)</Text>
      </TouchableOpacity>

      <Popover
        from={buttonRef}
        isVisible={visible}
        onRequestClose={() => setVisible(false)}
      >
        <View style={{ padding: 16 }}>
          <Text>Anchored to the button above via ref.</Text>
        </View>
      </Popover>
    </View>
  );
}
```

--------------------------------

### Show Popover in a Specific Direction

Source: https://github.com/steffeydev/react-native-popover-view/blob/master/README.md

Force the popover to appear in a specific direction using the `placement` prop. This overrides the default behavior of automatically choosing the best fit.

```jsx
import React from 'react';
import Popover, { PopoverPlacement } from 'react-native-popover-view';

function App() {
  return (
    <Popover
      placement={PopoverPlacement.BOTTOM}
      from=(
        <TouchableOpacity>
          <Text>Press here to open popover!</Text>
        </TouchableOpacity>
      )>      <Text>This is the contents of the popover</Text>
    </Popover>
  );
}
```

--------------------------------

### Control Popover Rendering Mode with PopoverMode Enum

Source: https://context7.com/steffeydev/react-native-popover-view/llms.txt

Use `PopoverMode` to switch between rendering modes: `RN_MODAL` (default, native modal), `JS_MODAL` (JS layer for nested popovers), and `TOOLTIP` (no dimmed background, no outside-tap dismiss).

```jsx
import React, { useState } from 'react';
import { TouchableOpacity, Text, View } from 'react-native';
import Popover, { PopoverMode, PopoverPlacement } from 'react-native-popover-view';

export default function ModeExample() {
  const [showTooltip, setShowTooltip] = useState(false);

  return (
    <View style={{ flex: 1, alignItems: 'center', justifyContent: 'center' }}>
      {/* TOOLTIP mode: background stays active, taps fall through */}
      <Popover
        mode={PopoverMode.TOOLTIP}
        placement={PopoverPlacement.TOP}
        isVisible={showTooltip}
        from=(
          <TouchableOpacity onPress={() => setShowTooltip(true)} style={{ padding: 12, backgroundColor: '#006', borderRadius: 8 }}>
            <Text style={{ color: 'white' }}>Show Tooltip</Text>
          </TouchableOpacity>
        )
      >
        <View style={{ padding: 12 }}>
          <Text>Tooltip content</Text>
          <TouchableOpacity onPress={() => setShowTooltip(false)} style={{ marginTop: 8, padding: 6, backgroundColor: '#900', borderRadius: 4 }}>
            <Text style={{ color: 'white' }}>Dismiss</Text>
          </TouchableOpacity>
        </View>
      </Popover>

      {/* JS_MODAL mode: use inside native modals or for nested popovers */}
      <Popover
        mode={PopoverMode.JS_MODAL}
        from=(
          <TouchableOpacity style={{ marginTop: 20, padding: 12, backgroundColor: '#060', borderRadius: 8 }}>
            <Text style={{ color: 'white' }}>JS Modal Popover</Text>
          </TouchableOpacity>
        )
      >
        <View style={{ padding: 12 }}><Text>Rendered in JS layer.</Text></View>

### Popover Component - Advanced `from` Function

Source: https://context7.com/steffeydev/react-native-popover-view/llms.txt

Utilize the `from` prop as a function to independently control the anchor reference and the trigger callback. This is useful when the element that triggers the popover differs from the element the popover anchors to.

```jsx
import React from 'react';
import { TouchableOpacity, Text, View } from 'react-native';
import Popover from 'react-native-popover-view';

export default function AdvancedFrom() {
  return (
    <Popover
      from={(sourceRef, showPopover) => (
        <View>
          {/* Arrow points at this Text, but pops open on long-press */}
          <TouchableOpacity onLongPress={showPopover}>
            <Text ref={sourceRef} style={{ fontSize: 18, padding: 8, backgroundColor: '#eee' }}>
              Long-press me
            </Text>
          </TouchableOpacity>
        </View>
      )}
    >
      <View style={{ padding: 16 }}>
        <Text>Opened via long-press!</Text>
      </View>
    </Popover>
  );
}
```

### Control Popover Placement with PopoverPlacement Enum

Source: https://context7.com/steffeydev/react-native-popover-view/llms.txt

Use `PopoverPlacement` to force a popover into a specific direction or provide an ordered array of preferred placements. The library selects the first placement that fits.

```jsx
import React from 'react';
import { TouchableOpacity, Text, View } from 'react-native';
import Popover, { PopoverPlacement } from 'react-native-popover-view';

export default function PlacementExample() {
  return (
    <View style={{ flex: 1, alignItems: 'center', justifyContent: 'center' }}>
      {/* Always show above the trigger */}
      <Popover
        placement={PopoverPlacement.TOP}
        from=(
          <TouchableOpacity style={{ padding: 12, backgroundColor: '#555', borderRadius: 8 }}>
            <Text style={{ color: 'white' }}>Force TOP</Text>
          </TouchableOpacity>
        )
      >
        <View style={{ padding: 12 }}><Text>I'm above you.</Text></View>
      </Popover>

      {/* Try RIGHT first, fall back to LEFT, then AUTO */}
      <Popover
        placement={[PopoverPlacement.RIGHT, PopoverPlacement.LEFT, PopoverPlacement.AUTO]}
        from=(
          <TouchableOpacity style={{ marginTop: 20, padding: 12, backgroundColor: '#555', borderRadius: 8 }}>
            <Text style={{ color: 'white' }}>Right → Left → Auto</Text>
          </TouchableOpacity>
        )
      >
        <View style={{ padding: 12 }}><Text>Best available side.</Text></View>
      </Popover>

      {/* Float centered with no arrow */}
      <Popover
        placement={PopoverPlacement.FLOATING}
        from=(
          <TouchableOpacity style={{ marginTop: 20, padding: 12, backgroundColor: '#555', borderRadius: 8 }}>
            <Text style={{ color: 'white' }}>Floating (centered)</Text>
          </TouchableOpacity>
        )
      >
        <View style={{ padding: 12 }}><Text>I float in the center.</Text></View>
      </Popover>
    </View>
  );
}
```

### Imperative Popover Close Method

Source: https://context7.com/steffeydev/react-native-popover-view/llms.txt

Obtain a ref to the Popover component to call `requestClose()` programmatically from within the popover's content. This avoids the need for external state management to control closing.

```jsx
import React, { useRef } from 'react';
import { TouchableOpacity, Text, View } from 'react-native';
import Popover from 'react-native-popover-view';

export default function ImperativeClose() {
  const popoverRef = useRef(null);

  return (
    <Popover
      ref={popoverRef}
      from=(
        <TouchableOpacity style={{ padding: 12, backgroundColor: '#e07b00', borderRadius: 8 }}>
          <Text style={{ color: 'white' }}>Open</Text>
        </TouchableOpacity>
      )
    >
      <View style={{ padding: 16 }}>
        <Text style={{ marginBottom: 12 }}>Tap the button below to close.</Text>
        <TouchableOpacity
          onPress={() => popoverRef.current?.requestClose()}
          style={{ padding: 8, backgroundColor: '#cc0000', borderRadius: 6 }}
        >
          <Text style={{ color: 'white' }}>Close Me</Text>
        </TouchableOpacity>
      </View>
    </Popover>
  );
}
```

### Avoid Safe Area and Keyboard with `displayAreaInsets`

Source: https://context7.com/steffeydev/react-native-popover-view/llms.txt

Restrict popover appearance to a specific area using `displayAreaInsets`. Commonly used with `react-native-safe-area-context` to avoid notches and system UI.

```jsx
import React from 'react';
import { TouchableOpacity, Text, View } from 'react-native';
import { useSafeAreaInsets } from 'react-native-safe-area-context';
import Popover from 'react-native-popover-view';

// Wrap Popover to always respect device safe areas
function SafePopover(props) {
  const insets = useSafeAreaInsets();
  return <Popover {...props} displayAreaInsets={insets} />;
}

export default function SafeAreaExample() {
  return (
    <View style={{ flex: 1, alignItems: 'center', justifyContent: 'center' }}>
      <SafePopover
        from=(
          <TouchableOpacity style={{ padding: 12, backgroundColor: '#009688', borderRadius: 8 }}>
            <Text style={{ color: 'white' }}>Safe Area Popover</Text>
          </TouchableOpacity>
        )
      >
        <View style={{ padding: 16 }}>
          <Text>Will never overlap notches or system bars.</Text>
        </View>
      </SafePopover>
    </View>
  );
}
```

### Show Popover with Manual Dismiss Control

Source: https://github.com/steffeydev/react-native-popover-view/blob/master/README.md

Control popover visibility using `isVisible` and `onRequestClose` props for manual dismissal. `onRequestClose` is called when the user taps outside the popover.

```jsx
import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import Popover from 'react-native-popover-view';

function App() {
  const [showPopover, setShowPopover] = useState(false);

  useEffect(() => {
    setTimeout(() => setShowPopover(false), 2000);
  }, []);

  return (
    <Popover
      isVisible={showPopover}
      onRequestClose={() => setShowPopover(false)}
      from=(
        <TouchableOpacity onPress={() => setShowPopover(true)}>
          <Text>Press here to open popover!</Text>
        </TouchableOpacity>
      )>      <Text>This popover will be dismissed automatically after 2 seconds</Text>
    </Popover>
  );
}
```

--------------------------------

### Show Floating Popover Without Anchor

Source: https://github.com/steffeydev/react-native-popover-view/blob/master/README.md

Display a popover that is not anchored to any specific element by omitting the `from` prop. The popover will be centered on the screen.

```jsx
import React, { useState } from 'react';
import Popover from 'react-native-popover-view';

function App() {
  const [showPopover, setShowPopover] = useState(false);

  return (
    <>
      <TouchableOpacity onPress={() => setShowPopover(true)}>
        <Text>Press here to open popover!</Text>
      </TouchableOpacity>
      <Popover isVisible={showPopover} onRequestClose={() => setShowPopover(false)}>
        <Text>This popover will stay centered on the screen, even when the device is rotated!</Text>
      </Popover>
    </>
  );
}
```

--------------------------------

### Popover Component - Controlled Visibility

Source: https://context7.com/steffeydev/react-native-popover-view/llms.txt

Manage the popover's open/close lifecycle manually using the `isVisible` and `onRequestClose` props. This allows for programmatic control and integration with timers or other logic for automatic dismissal.

```jsx
import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import { TouchableOpacity, Text, View } from 'react-native';
import Popover from 'react-native-popover-view';

export default function ControlledPopover() {
  const [visible, setVisible] = useState(false);

  // Auto-dismiss after 3 seconds
  useEffect(() => {
    if (visible) {
      const timer = setTimeout(() => setVisible(false), 3000);
      return () => clearTimeout(timer);
    }
  }, [visible]);

  return (
    <View style={{ flex: 1, alignItems: 'center', justifyContent: 'center' }}>
      <Popover
        isVisible={visible}
        onRequestClose={() => setVisible(false)}
        from=(
          <TouchableOpacity onPress={() => setVisible(true)} style={{ padding: 12, backgroundColor: '#333', borderRadius: 8 }}>
            <Text style={{ color: 'white' }}>Show (auto-closes in 3s)</Text>
          </TouchableOpacity>
        )
      >
        <View style={{ padding: 16 }}>
          <Text>This will close automatically or when you tap outside.</Text>
        </View>
      </Popover>
    </View>
  );
}
```

### Fix Functional Component Ref Error

Source: https://github.com/steffeydev/react-native-popover-view/blob/master/README.md

When passing a functional component to the Popover 'from' prop, use React.forwardRef to resolve ref errors. This ensures the Popover can correctly determine the position of the 'from' component.

```javascript
Warning: Function components cannot be given refs. Attempts to access this ref will fail. Did you mean to use React.forwardRef()?
