Angular Popover - Customize the Content

Specifying the Content Template

The following code shows how to create a template consisting of static (text) and dynamic (the Switch UI component) content:

jQuery
HTML
JavaScript
<img id="image" src="https://url/to/an/image" />
<div id="popoverContainer"></div>
$(function() {
    $("#popoverContainer").dxPopover({
        target: "#image",
        showEvent: 'dxhoverstart',
        contentTemplate: function (contentElement) {
            contentElement.append(
                $("<p />").text("Static Content"),
                $("<div />").attr("id", "switchContainer").dxSwitch({
                    // The "Switch" UI component is configured here
                })
            )
        }
    });
});
Angular

<img id="image" src="https://url/to/an/image" />

    target="#image"
    showEvent="dxhoverstart"

    <div *dxTemplate="let data of 'popoverContent'">
        <p>Static content</p>
        <dx-switch>
            <!-- The "Switch" UI component is configured here -->
        </dx-switch>
    </div>
</dx-popover>
import { DxPopoverModule, DxSwitchModule } from "devextreme-angular";

    ],

<template>
    <div>
        <img id="image" src="https://url/to/an/image" />
        <DxPopover 
            target="#image"
            show-event="dxhoverstart">

        <p>Static content</p>

Switching Templates On the Fly

If you need to render different templates depending on a specific condition, define them inside the Popover container using the DevExtreme dxTemplate markup component. You can switch the templates on the fly by changing the contentTemplate property's value.

<img id="image" src="https://url/to/an/image" />
<div id="buttonContainer"></div>
<div id="popoverContainer">

        <p>First template</p>
    </div>
    <div data-options="dxTemplate: { name: 'template2' }">
        <p>Second template</p>
    </div>
</div>
$(function() {
    const popover = $("#popoverContainer").dxPopover({
        target: "#image",
        showEvent: 'dxhoverstart',
        hideEvent: 'dxhoverend',
        contentTemplate: 'template1'
    }).dxPopover("instance");

    $("#buttonContainer").dxButton({
        text: "Change the Template", 
        onClick: function (e) {
            const currentTemplate = popover.option("contentTemplate");
            popover.option("contentTemplate", currentTemplate == "template1" ? "template2" : "template1");
        } 
    });
});
