This is a React component designed for React 16 with complete Typescript support.

1. This is developed alongside the React 16 fix to allow mounting across frames even for Edge and IE browsers
2. Typescript support for all the options (especially hard to remember window features)
3. Reflects style-loader injected styles from the main window to the children window

npm install react-portal-popout

or

yarn add react-portal-popout

import React from 'react';
import { Popout } from 'react-portal-popout';

export default class App extends React.Component<any, any> {
    constructor(props: any) {
        super(props);
        this.state = {showPopout: false};
    }

    onClick = () => {
        this.setState({showPopout: true});
    }

    render() {
        return (
            <div>
                <h1>Now you too have the power to POP OUT</h1>
                <button onClick={this.onClick}>POP IT OUT!</button>
                {this.state.showPopout && (
                    <Popout>
                        <div>You can put anything here!</div>
                    </Popout>
                )}
            </div>
        );
    }
}

Popout Component has the following props:

export interface PopoutProps {
    hidden?: boolean;
    name?: string;  // window.name
    title?: string; // document.title
    onClose?: () => void;
    onBeforeUnload?: (evt: BeforeUnloadEvent) => string | null | undefined;
    children?: any;
    options?: Partial<WindowFeaturesOptions>;
    html?: string;
}

The options prop is of the following type:

export interface WindowFeaturesOptions {
    left: number;
    top: number;
    height: number;
    width: number;
    menubar: boolean;
    toolbar: boolean;
    location: boolean;
    status: boolean;
    resizable: boolean;
    scrollbars: boolean;
}

This component works well for both modes of style loading:

1. Appending Style blocks (e.g. style-loader)
2. Manual insertRule() into a CSSStyleSheet

For the second case with insertRule(), since there is nothing that can observe the insert event, a callback must be registered when a rule is being inserted. For an example usage with the Microsoft Office Fabric, set it up as a global like so:

import {insertPopoutStylesheetRule} from 'react-portal-popout';

window.FabricConfig = {
    mergeStyles: {
        onInsertRule: insertPopoutStylesheetRule
    }
}
