It seamlessly integrates into your markup without breaking it.

Visit the examples page to discover the functionalities.

Basic Tooltip	Animated Tooltip	Advanced Tooltip

Highlights

Supports click, hover, hover-hold and hover-interact detections.
Each tooltip can be animated individually.
Set whether the tooltip closes when clicked on it.
Close the tooltip manually by assigning a variable.
Retrieve the state of the tooltip (whether open or not).
Set a timeout to automatically close the tooltip.
Position the tooltip relative to the triggering element.
Automatically center the tooltip along the X axis for dynamically sized elements.

Installing

npm install react-tooltip-controller

After installing the module, import the following components:

import {ToolTipController, Select} from 'react-tooltip-controller'

Basic Usage

<ToolTipController
  detect="click"
  offsetY="center"
  offsetY={20}>

  // Selects the element controlling the tooltip
  <Select>
    <button>Click me</button>
  </Select>

  // Custom tooltip component
  <TooltipComponent/>

</ToolTipController>

Anything, but <Select> component, wrapped by <ToolTipController> is portalled to the bottom of the <body> tag in the DOM.

You can either wrap a component or JSX Markup with <ToolTipController>.

By wrapping the <button> with <Select> component, <TooltipComponent/> is attached to <button> and set to be triggered by a click event.

By default, the tooltip wrapped is positioned relative to the left-bottom of the selected element.

Properties Table

Props	Description	Possible Values	Default	Data Type
id	Assigns an ID number to the tooltip container class to be able to distinguish between multiple tooltips. Required for CSS animations on tooltip	E.g. `"1"`, `"2"`	null	String
detect	Determines how to trigger the tooltip. Note that `timeOut` prop should be defined in order to use the `"hover-interact”` option	`"click"`, `"hover"`, `"hover-hold"`, `"hover-interact”`	`"click"`	String
closeOnClick	Determines whether the tooltip closes when clicked on it	`true`, `false`	`true`	Boolean
triggerClose	A Boolean value of `true` closes the tooltip manually	Boolean variable	-	Boolean
returnState	Returns the state of the tooltip - If it’s open or not	Function	-	Function
timeOut	Determines if the tooltip closes automatically after a certain amount of time in milliseconds	positive integers	null	Integer
offsetX	Determines the offset along the X axis relative to left bottom of the element	positive/negative integers	0	Integer
offsetY	Determines the offset along the Y axis relative to left bottom of the element. If set to `"center"`, automatically aligns to middle of the triggering element	positive/negative integers or `"center"`	0	Integer, String
animation	Determines the name of the animation class	-	null	String
duration	Determines the duration of the animation in units of milliseconds(ms) or seconds(s)	E.g. `"500ms"` or `"0.5s"`	null	String
timing	Determines the timing function of the animation. You can use standard CSS timing functions such as `"linear"`, `"ease"` or can define a specific Cubic Bezier curve	E.g. `"linear"` or `"ease"`	null	String
properties	Determines the properties to be animated. Can be a string or an array of strings	E.g. `"all"` or `["opacity", "transform"]`	[ ]	String, Array

Note: Hover events act as a click event on touch devices.

Examples

Minimal Example

import React, { Component } from 'react'
import {ToolTipController, Select} from 'react-tooltip-controller'

const ToolTip = () =>
  <div className="toolTip">
    Tooltip
  </div>

class Example extends Component {

  render() {
    return (
      <div className="App">

        <ToolTipController
          detect="hover">

          <Select>
            <button>Hello There</button>
          </Select>

          <ToolTip/>

        </ToolTipController>

      </div>

    )
  }
}

export default Example

Animation Example

Stylus File

.react-tooltip-1
  opacity: 0
  transform: translateY(10px)
  &.fadeIn
    opacity: 1
    transform: translateY(0)

JSX file

import React, { Component } from 'react'
import {ToolTipController, Select} from 'react-tooltip-controller'
import './styles/animation.css'

const ToolTip = () =>
  <div className="toolTip">
    Tooltip
  </div>

class Example extends Component {

  render() {
    return (
      <div className="App">

        <ToolTipController
          id="1"
          detect="hover"
          animation="fadeIn"
          duration=".3s"
          timing="ease"
          properties={["opacity", "transform"]}>

          <Select>
            <button>Hello There</button>
          </Select>

          <ToolTip/>

        </ToolTipController>

      </div>

    )
  }
}

export default Example

Note that react-tooltip is a built-in class name and since the id prop is set to "1", it is referred with the specific class name of react-tooltip-1.

Always set the id prop for the animated tooltips in order to prevent any class name conflicts.

Side note: If you don't set the properties prop, all the properties for the tooltip animates. This results in position animations when the browser is resized.

Use of `triggerClose` prop

import React, { Component } from 'react'
import {ToolTipController, Select} from 'react-tooltip-controller'

const ToolTip = (props) =>
  <div className="toolTip">
    Tooltip
    <button onClick={null}></button>
    <button onClick={props.closeTriggerFunction}></button>
  </div>

class Example extends Component {

  state = {
    trigger: false
  }

  close = () => {
    this.setState({trigger: true})
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <div className="App">

        <ToolTipController
          detect="click"
          closeOnClick={false}
          triggerClose={this.state.trigger}>

          <Select>
            <button>Hello There</button>
          </Select>

          <ToolTip closeTriggerFunction={this.close}/>

        </ToolTipController>

      </div>

    )
  }
}

export default Example

By using the triggerClose prop, the tooltip can be closed manually. To do so, variable passed to triggerClose prop should be set to true.

This example demonstrates how to close the tooltip by setting the state of the triggering variable to true. To prevent the other click events on the tooltip from closing it, closeOnClick is set to false. Note that clicking outside of the tooltip closes it independent of the triggerClose prop.

Use of `returnState` prop

import React, { Component } from 'react'
import {ToolTipController, Select} from 'react-tooltip-controller'

const ToolTip = (props) =>
  <div className="toolTip">
    Tooltip
  </div>

class Example extends Component {

  state = {
    tooltipState: false
  }

  getTooltipState = (data) => {
    this.setState({tooltipState: data})
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <div className="App">

        <ToolTipController
          select="btn"
          detect="hover"
          returnState={this.getTooltipState}>

          <Select>
            <button>Hello There</button>
          </Select>

          <ToolTip/>

        </ToolTipController>

      </div>

    )
  }
}

export default Example

You can pass a function as a prop through returnState in order to get the state of the tooltip, whether it's open or not.
