hide v0.13+

When the reference element is not visible, will apply the class of reference-hidden-class, which can add the invisible class to hide the floating element:

<Float
  hide
  reference-hidden-class="invisible"
>

You can also use another strategy, which is to apply the class of escaped-class if you can't see the floating element:

<Float
  :hide="{ strategy: 'escaped' }"
  escaped-class="opacity-50"
>

When you want to use two strategies, you can pass in an array:

<Float
  :hide="[{}, { strategy: 'escaped' }]"
>

Automatically update floating elements when needed, the default value is true. Can be set to false to disable autoUpdate:

<Float :auto-update="false">

middleware

If the above basic settings do not satisfy your needs, you can add the Floating UI middleware yourself:

<Float :middleware="middleware">

<script setup>
import { offset } from '@floating-ui/dom'

const middleware = [
  offset({
    mainAxis: 10,
    crossAxis: 6,
  }),
]
</script>

Or pass a function to get reference elements and floating elements in the parameters:

const middleware = ({ referenceEl, floatingEl }) => [
  ...
]
