Popover component

Bug, feature request, or proposal:

Feature request

What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?

Popovers are not part of the current material design spec, however they are a common component in desktop applications. It got some traction last year within the angular/material repository here and here.

If this is still not acceptable, what are the alternatives? I started to hack a bit on the mdDialog, using a custom positioning strategy and custom css for the directional arrow but I’m not sure this is the way-to-go.

Thank you in advance!

I’ve just created an example popover component, and you can view demo here and the source here it has basic documentation on how to use. If you want to view the demo source you can find that here. It’s using most of the menu component with a few things added/removed. It is not complete it was to give you an example. If I have time, I’ll rewrite it with more functionality and consistent options naming.

Standard popover

Google+ style popover

After many people contacting me requesting me to publish my demo as a library, I found some time this week to publish it. You can find the GitHub page here https://github.com/material-extended/mde and NPM package here https://www.npmjs.com/package/@material-extended/mde
