This component is developed with StencilJS and provides a first-class option for rendering children in a DOM node that exists outside the DOM hierarchy of the parent or reference component.

A typical use case for portals is when a main component has an overflow style: hidden or z-index, but needs the element to "come out" visually from its container. For example, dialog boxes, hovercards and tooltips.

The component portal component requires us to pass a component reference from which it will calculate the position (see in the example the component tooltip component has a reference on the Host tab)

<Host ref={(el) => (this.tooltipRef = el)}>

In this same component we can see that there is a label <Slot />. This is used for the example, and is the place where the parent's child component will be drawn (in this case a where it will be possible to hover and show the content that is in the portal)

When the cursor is placed over the element, the portal is positioned absolutely on top of the referenced element by default
