popover is used in SwiftUI to present content in a small overlay attached to a view.
It allows apps to:
show temporary floating content
present extra information
display anchored UI above the current screen
Core flow:
Button / State Change → Popover Appears → Dismiss
A popover displays content above the current view without replacing it.
It is commonly used for:
extra details
small action panels
contextual content
temporary information
A popover is usually attached to the view that triggered it.
.popover(isPresented: $showPopover) {
PopoverContentView()
}
Here:
isPresented → controls whether the popover appears
PopoverContentView() → content shown inside the popover
A popover is usually controlled with @State.
