React Tooltips

View the demo

You can view and edit the code for each tooltip here

Usage

Install.

npm install --save react-tooltips

Import it into your component:

import Tooltip from 'react-tooltips';
 
<Tooltip content="This is the tooltip content">
    <span>click me</span>
</Tooltip>
 

And voíla!

Customization

You can use your own components to render the tooltip with the prop component.
Check WithStyledComponents.js in the demo for an example.

If you use your own components as children it will receive an innerRef prop that you must set in your HTMLElement:
Stateless components don't accept refs...

const Button = ({ innerRef, ...rest }) => (
  <button ref={innerRef} {...rest} />
);
 
...
<Tooltip content="This is the tooltip content">
    <Button>click me</Button>
</Tooltip>

This works transparently with styled-components (and possible other modules):

const Wrapper = styled.div`
  margin: 0 auto;
  max-width: 500px;
  line-height: 1.5;
`;
 
<Tooltip content="This is the tooltip content">
    <Wrapper>click me</Wrapper>
</Tooltip>

Styling

You can customize everything with the styles prop.
Only set the properties you want to change and the default styles will be merged.

Check it styles.js for the syntax.

Modes

Default
The wrapper will trigger the events and use itself as the tooltip's target.

<Tooltip content="This is the tooltip content">
    <span>click me</span>
</Tooltip>
 

Proxy
The wrapper will trigger the events but the tooltip will use the target prop to position itself.

<div className="App">
    <img src="some-path" />
 
    <Tooltip
      content="This is the tooltip content"
      target=".App img"
    >
        <span>click me</span>
    </Tooltip>
</div>
 

Beacon
The same as the proxy mode but the wrapper will be positioned relative to the target.

<div className="App">
    <img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2d/Google-favicon-2015.png" width="100" className="my-super-image" />
 
    <Tooltip
        content="This is the tooltip content"
        target=".my-super-image"
        wrapperOptions={{
            offset: -22,
            placement: 'top',
            position: true,
        }}
    >
    <span style={{ color: '#f04', fontSize: 34 }}>◉</span>
    </Tooltip>
</div>
 

Controlled
When you set a boolean to the open prop it will enter the controlled mode and it will not respond to events.
In this mode you don't even need to have children

<div className="App">
    <img src="some-path" />
    <Tooltip
        content="This is the tooltip content"
        open={true}
        target=".App img"
    />
</div>
