#Anatomy
Import the component's parts and compose them under its root:
use base_gpui::preview_card::{
PreviewCardArrow,
PreviewCardBackdrop,
PreviewCardPopup,
PreviewCardPortal,
PreviewCardPositioner,
PreviewCardRoot,
PreviewCardTrigger,
PreviewCardViewport,
};
PreviewCardRoot::new()
.child(
PreviewCardPortal::new()
.child(
PreviewCardBackdrop::new(),
)
.child(
PreviewCardPositioner::new()
.child(
PreviewCardPopup::new()
.child(
PreviewCardArrow::new(),
)
.child(
PreviewCardViewport::new(),
),
),
),
)
.child(
PreviewCardTrigger::new(),
);
The anatomy is a structural overview. Parts with mutually exclusive modes may need separate instances; each part's section below documents its configuration.
#PreviewCardRoot
Coordinates the component's state and supplies context to its child parts.
use base_gpui::preview_card::PreviewCardRoot;
PreviewCardRoot::new()
.id("example-id")
.default_open(true)
.open(true)
.delay(/* delay: std::time::Duration */)
.close_delay(/* close_delay: std::time::Duration */)
.on_open_change(|/* callback arguments */| { /* handle change */ })
.on_open_change_complete(|/* callback arguments */| { /* handle change */ })
.trigger_id("example-id")
.no_trigger_id()
.default_trigger_id("example-id")
.handle(/* handle: PreviewCardHandle<P> */);

#Accessibility
Keyboard interaction and accessibility semantics are implemented by the component, independently of visual styling. Known limitations caused by missing GPUI accessibility primitives are documented in the module source and are not silently approximated.
#Stability
Base GPUI is pre-1.0. Builder names and state types may evolve as GPUI and this port mature.
