A React custom hook to make tooltips

Primary LanguageTypeScriptMIT LicenseMIT

useTooltip

useTooltip is a React hook to easily create tooltip in your React components.

Install

@seracio/tooltip has 2 peer dependencies that need to be installed first

npm i react d3-selection
npm i @seracio/tooltip

Usage

You need to be aware of several things:

  • The hook returns 2 things: the component Tooltip itself and a ref to the container
  • The container that will get the ref needs to be in relative position or it won't work
  • The hook will make tooltips on each element with a data-tooltip attribute
  • In this attribute, you can specify html or simple text (no jsx though)
import { useState } from "react";
import { useTooltip, useTooltipArea } from "@seracio/tooltip";

const MyComponent = () => {
  const [targetIndex, set] = useState(-1);
  const [Tooltip, root] = useTooltip({
    enterCb: (el) => set(+el.getAttribute("data-tooltip-index")),
    leaveCb: (el) => set(-1),
  });

  const size = 500;
  const data = [
    {
      x: 0,
      y: 0,
      width: 100,
      height: 100,
    },
    {
      x: 300,
      y: 200,
      width: 50,
      height: 80,
    },
  ];

  return (
    <div
      style={{
        position: "relative",
        width: "100%",
        maxWidth: "600px",
        margin: "auto",
      }}
      ref={root}
    >
      <Tooltip />
      <svg preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet" viewBox={`0 0 ${size} ${size}`}>
        {data.map((d, i) => {
          return (
            <rect
              style={{ cursor: "pointer" }}
              key={i}
              data-tooltip={`rect number ${i + 1}`}
              data-tooltip-index={i}
              {...d}
              fill={targetIndex === i ? "red" : "blue"}
            />
          );
        })}
      </svg>
    </div>
  );
};

<MyComponent />;
