Usage

Examples

Let's start with a simple example:

Wrap your Tooltip component around an on / off Toggle.

<Tooltip trigger="click" placement="bottom" content={<h1>Hi!</h1>}>
  {({ ...bind }) => <button {...bind}>Toggle</button>}
</Tooltip>

Spreading bind will pass you the reference provided by react-popper and EventListeners to open / close the tooltip content.

react-popper-spring-tooltip makes use of a React pattern called "render prop", if you are not familiar with it, please read more on the official React documentation.

In more advanced use cases you may pass your Components via the content prop. You can also pass your own react-spring config to make awesome custom animations. Also note that you can destructure the isOpen prop to add conditions to your Toggle.

<Tooltip
  trigger="click"
  placement="bottom"
  content={<TooltipContent />}
  springConfig={{
    from: {
      scale: 0.8,
      config: { duration: 100 },
    },
    to: {
      scale: 1,
      config: { duration: 50 },
    },
  }}
>
  {({ isOpen, ...bind }) => (
    <button
      {...bind}
      className={`${isOpen ? "opened-button" : "closed-button"}`}
    >
      Toggle
    </button>
  )}
</Tooltip>
