  • Key Concepts: 
    A popover is a UI element in the SAP UI development toolkit for HTML5 - Rendering library. It is a small window that appears on top of the current page when triggered by an action, such as clicking a button or hovering over an element. The popover contains additional information or options related to the action that triggered it. 
    
    How to use it: 
    Popovers can be used to provide additional information or options related to an action without taking up too much space on the page. To create a popover, you must first define the content of the popover and then add an event handler to trigger it. The event handler can be a click, hover, or focus event. Once triggered, the popover will appear on top of the current page and will remain visible until dismissed by the user. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When creating a popover, make sure that it is easy to dismiss and does not interfere with other elements on the page. Additionally, consider using a tooltip instead of a popover if the content is short and does not require additional actions from the user.
