The package supports various customization options, including the tooltip's appearance, positioning, and animation.
What are rc-tooltip's main functionalities?
Basic Tooltip
This code sample demonstrates how to create a basic tooltip that appears on top of an element when it is hovered over. The tooltip's content is specified as 'Tooltip text'.
import React from 'react';
import Tooltip from 'rc-tooltip';
import 'rc-tooltip/assets/bootstrap.css';
const BasicTooltip = () => (
<Tooltip placement="top" trigger={['hover']} overlay={<span>Tooltip text</span>}>
<a href="#">Hover me</a>
</Tooltip>
);
Customized Tooltip
This example shows how to create a tooltip that appears to the right of an element when clicked. The tooltip displays custom content, including a custom style and an arrow pointing to the target element.
import React from 'react';
import Tooltip from 'rc-tooltip';
import 'rc-tooltip/assets/bootstrap_white.css';
const CustomTooltip = () => (
<Tooltip
placement="right"
trigger={['click']}
overlay={<div style={{ height: 50, width: 100, backgroundColor: '#89CFF0' }}>Custom Content</div>}
arrowContent={<div className="rc-tooltip-arrow-inner"></div>}
>
<a href="#">Click me</a>
</Tooltip>
);
Dynamic Tooltip
This code snippet illustrates how to create a tooltip with dynamic visibility, controlled by the component's state. The tooltip appears when the mouse enters the target element and disappears when it leaves.
import React, { useState } from 'react';
import Tooltip from 'rc-tooltip';
const DynamicTooltip = () => {
const [visible, setVisible] = useState(false);
return (
<Tooltip
visible={visible}
onVisibleChange={(vis) => setVisible(vis)}
overlay={<span>Dynamic Content</span>}
>
<a href="#" onMouseEnter={() => setVisible(true)} onMouseLeave={() => setVisible(false)}>Hover or Leave</a>
</Tooltip>
);
};
