Svelte Popover - Flowbite

Use the popover component to show detailed information inside a pop-up box relative to the element that is being clicked or hovered based on multiple styles

Get started with the popover component to show any type of content inside a pop-up box when hovering or clicking over a trigger element. There are multiple examples that you can choose from, such as showing more information about a user profile, company profile, password strength, and more.

Make sure that you have the Flowbite JavaScript included in your project to enable the popover interactivity by following the quickstart guide.
