Popover on mouse move

[billybonks]

is there a way to configure the popover widget to appear on mouse over

Not out of the box, but you could extend Ember.Widgets.PopoverComponent and Ember.Widgets.PopoverLinkComponent, and add the behavior you want to the PopoverLinkComponent in a similar way to how click is defined now.

I'll leave this open tagged as an enhancement, since it sounds useful - we might consider adding it in the future.

I got close on this but never got it over the finish line. Here's my code.

HoverPopoverLinkComponent = Em.Component.extend
  classNames: ['hover-popover']
  placement: 'top'
  content: null
  rootElement: '.ember-application'
  fade: true

  mouseEnter: ->
    @showPopover()

  mouseLeave: ->
    @hidePopover()

  showPopover: ->
    popover = @get('_popover')

    if popover?.get('_state') is 'inDOM'
      return
    else
      popoverView = Em.View.extend Em.Widgets.PopoverMixin,
        layoutName: 'popover-link-popover'
        controller: this
        targetElement: @get('element')
        container: @get('container')
        placement: Em.computed.alias 'controller.placement'
        fade: @get('fade')
        contentViewClass: IbottaWeb.PopoverContentView
        classNames: 'hover-popover-content'
        bodyClick: ->
      popover = popoverView.create()
      @set '_popover', popover
      popover.appendTo @get('rootElement')

  hidePopover: ->
    popover = @get('_popover')
    popover?.destroy()

I had trouble with it lining up correctly all the time. Hopefully this is a good start!
