📌 Tiny utility to position an element absolutely in relation to another element.

tackjs

Tiny utility to position an element absolutely in relation to another element. 500b gzipped.

What's this for? Think popovers, modals, tooltips, scroll-jacking, etc.

Install

npm i tackjs --save

Usage

Usage is very straightfoward. Think, "pin element to target at the top":

import tack from 'tackjs'

const element = document.querySelector('...')
const target = document.querySelector('...')

const pin = tack(element, target, 'top')

To update the position – say after the window resizes – use update:

pin.update()

If you need to un-pin and remove all styles:

pin.destroy()

But don't worry! It can be re-pinned as well:

pin.update()

N.B. tackjs also adds an .is-tacked class to all pinned elements.

Alignment

Tack supports the following coordinates relative to the passed target element:

• top
• bottom
• left
• right
• topLeft
• topRight
• bottomLeft
• bottomRight
