How To Import Popper Js

Popper.js is a useful library for creating popovers in your web projects, providing dynamic positioning and alignment of elements. If you're looking to enhance your website with interactive tooltips or popovers, learning how to import Popper.js is a crucial step in implementing this feature successfully.

To import Popper.js into your project, you have a few different options depending on your project setup. Let's walk through the steps to get you started.

If you're using a package manager like npm or Yarn, you can easily add Popper.js to your project by running a simple command in your terminal. For npm, you would run:

npm install @popperjs/core

Or if you prefer using Yarn, you can run:

yarn add @popperjs/core

Once you've installed Popper.js, you can import it into your JavaScript file using an import statement:

import { createPopper } from '@popperjs/core';

By importing the `createPopper` function, you gain access to all the functionality that Popper.js provides for creating dynamic popovers and tooltips on your website.

If you're not using a package manager and prefer to include external scripts directly in your HTML file, you can do so by adding the following script tag to your document:

This script tag will load the Popper.js library directly from a CDN, allowing you to use it in your project without having to manage any dependencies manually.

Once you've imported Popper.js into your project, you can start using it to create popovers and tooltips. The `createPopper` function takes two parameters: the reference element you want to position the popover relative to and the element that represents the popover itself.

Here's a simple example of how you can use Popper.js to create a popover:

const referenceElement = document.querySelector('.reference-element');
const popoverElement = document.querySelector('.popover-element');

const popper = createPopper(referenceElement, popoverElement);

In this example, `referenceElement` is the element you want the popover to be positioned relative to, and `popoverElement` is the element that represents the actual popover content. By calling `createPopper` with these two elements, Popper.js will handle the positioning and alignment of the popover for you.

By following these steps, you can easily import Popper.js into your project and start creating interactive popovers and tooltips to enhance the user experience on your website. Happy coding!
