react-native-tooltip-overhaul

Tool tips library for React Native

Installation

npm install react-native-tooltip-overhaul

or

yarn add react-native-tooltip-overhaul

Also react-native-safe-area-context is required for the tip to work properly. You can install it using

npm install react-native-safe-area-context

or

yarn add react-native-safe-area-context

Don't forget to install iOS pods afterwards!

npx pod-install

Usage

import {Tip, TipProvider} from 'react-native-tooltip-overhaul'
// If you are using react-navigation, you can skip SafeAreaProvider,
// as it is already included in Navigator
import {SafeAreaProvider} from 'react-native-safe-area-context'

// wrap your app with TipProvider as early as possible - it allows to draw over other elements

const App: FC = () => {
  return (
    <SafeAreaProvider>
      <TipProvider>
        {/* All your other providers/components go here */}
      </TipProvider>
    </SafeAreaProvider>
  )
}

// ...

const MyComponentWithTip: FC = () => {
  const renderTip = useCallback(
    () => (
      <View
        style={{
          padding: 10,
          borderRadius: 10,
          backgroundColor: '#fff',
        }}>
        <Text style={{color: '#000'}}>Text that will be shown on the tip</Text>
      </View>
    ),
    [],
  )

  return (
    <Tip renderTip={renderTip}>
      <Text>Pressing this text will open the tip</Text>
    </Tip>
  )
}
