Popup
Basic usage
The popup provides a frame for all your pop-over needs, able to render custom content, forms or combined views.
Use it for contextual pop-ups, data-entry or to inform users in a consistent way with all other Mobiscroll component.
$('#mypopup').mobiscroll().popup();
$('#show').click(function(){
$('#mypopup').mobiscroll('open');
return false;
});
<div id="mypopup">
<h3>Hi</h3>
<p>Are you feeling good today?</p>
</div>
<button id="show">Open popup</button>
Passing options
Options can be passed as an object for the initialization function.
$('#mypopup').mobiscroll().popup({
theme: 'ios',
buttons: ['ok', 'cancel']
});
Changing options
After initialization the options can be changed any time by using the setOptions method.
$('#mypopup').mobiscroll('setOptions', {
theme: 'material',
buttons: ['close']
});
For many more examples - simple and complex use-cases - check out the popup demos for jquery.

There are five predefined breakpoints:
breakpoint
property specifying the min-width in pixels.
Example:

Events
Name | Description | |
---|---|---|
onClose(event, inst) |
Triggered when the component is closed.
Parameters
Example
|
|
onDestroy(event, inst) |
Triggered when the component is destroyed.
Parameters
Example
|
|
onInit(event, inst) |
Triggered when the component is initialized.
Parameters
Example
|
|
onOpen(event, inst) |
Triggered when the component is opened.
Parameters
Example
|
|
onPosition(event, inst) |
Triggered when the component is positioned (on initial show and resize / orientation change).
Useful if dimensions needs to be modified before the positioning happens, e.g. set a custom width or height. Custom positioning can also be implemented here, in this case, returning false from the handler
function will prevent the built in positioning.

Text for Cancel button. |

The locale option is an object containing all the translations for a given language.
Mobiscroll supports a number of languages listed below. If a language is missing from the list, it can also be provided by the user. Here's a guide on
how to write language modules.
Supported languages:
In some cases it's more convenient to set the locale using the language code string.
You can do that by using the
The
locale object is not tree-shakeable, meaning that all translations present in the object
will end up in the application bundle, whether it's being used or not.
|
okText | String | 'Ok' |
Text for Ok button. |
rtl | Boolean | false |
Right to left display. |
Customizing the appearance
While the provided pre-built themes are enough in many use cases, most of the times on top of adapting to a specific platform, you'd also like to match a brand or color scheme. Mobiscroll provides various ways to achieve this:
- Create custom themes using the theme builder - the custom themes can be also built using out theme builder, on a graphical user interface, without any coding, or the need for Sass support in your project.
- Create custom themes using Sass - use this, if you need multiple themes with different color variatons, in case you have pages with different colors, or you'd like to users to customize the colors of your app.
- Override the Sass color variables - the straightforward way to change the colors in one place throughout the application.
Override the Sass Color Variables
A convenient way to customize the colors of the Mobiscroll components is to override the Sass color variables.
Let's say your branding uses a nice red accent color, and you'd like that color to appear on the Mobiscroll components as well,
while still using platform specific themes (e.g. ios
on iOS devices, material
on Android devices, and mobiscroll
on desktop).
You can override the accent color for every theme:
$mbsc-ios-accent: #e61d2a;
$mbsc-material-accent: #e61d2a;
$mbsc-mobiscroll-accent: #e61d2a;
@import "~@mobiscroll/JQuery/dist/css/mobiscroll.jquery.scss"
You can also customize the colors on many levels:
- Theme specific variables (ex.
$mbsc-material-background
,$mbsc-ios-dark-text
) are applied to all components in a theme. Complete list of variables here. - Component specific global variables (ex.
$mbsc-card-background-light
,$mbsc-listview-text-dark
) are applied to all themes for a specific component. - Component and theme specific variables (ex.
$mbsc-ios-dark-form-background
,$mbsc-material-input-text
) are applied to a specific theme and a specific component.
