WHY ANOTHER TOOLTIP LIBRARY ?!

react-super-tooltip is made to be super simple to use, but still be very smart out of the box with default configuration. It can automatically position itself to be in the viewport by calculating the best position relative to your element (top, right, bottom, left or any 4 corners), and even when it finds perfect location it will additionally offset itself to find even better fit.

Installation

npm i react-super-tooltip

Usage

1 . Import react-super-tooltip in your code

import ReactSuperTooltip from 'react-super-tooltip'

2 . Wrap your element in <ReactSuperTooltip> component

<ReactSuperTooltip>
  <button>Hover me</button>
</ReactSuperTooltip>

3 . That's it
