3this.floatingService.computePosition(trigger, floating);

You can also import all types and methods from floating-ui from this package:

1import {

portal

To see a demo, click on the link provided.

Usage

The <ngx-portal/> component displays content on the body.

You can also display portal content within an element of your choice:

1
2<div #portalWillBeInsideMe>
3  <p>Portal content will be rendered after this tag</p>
4  <!-- Here -->
5</div>
6
7<ngx-portal [bindTo]="portalWillBeInsideMe">
8  <p>It will be displayed as the last child of the div</p>
9</ngx-portal>

This component is essential for displaying tooltips correctly without overlapping with other elements on the page.

6  imports: [ClickOutsideDirective],
7  template: `
8    <div

You can provide your own component for arrow visualization:

1@Component({

11    ></div>
12  `
13})
14export class CustomArrow extends FloatingArrowBase {
15}
16
17export const ArrowProvider: Provider = {
18  provide: NGX_ARROW_COMPONENT,
19  useValue: CustomArrow
20};

Any module:

1@Component({
2  standalone: true,
3  selector: 'app',
