react-tooltip

Installation

npm install react-tooltip

Usage

Using NPM

1 . Require react-tooltip after installation

var ReactTooltip = require("react-tooltip")

2 . Add data-tip = "your placeholder" to your element

<p data-tip="hello world">Tooltip</p>

3 . Including react-tooltip component

<ReactTooltip />

Standalone

You can import node_modules/react-tooltip/standalone/react-tooltip.min.js into your page, please make sure that you have already imported react and react-dom into your page.

Options

Notes:

The tooltip is using type: dark place: top effect: float as default attribute, you don't have to add these options if you don't want to change default
The option you set on <ReactTooltip /> component will be implemented on every tooltip in a same page: <ReactTooltip effect="solid" />
The option you set on specific element, for example: <a data-type="warning"></a> will only make effect on this specific tooltip

Check example: React-tooltip Test

Using react component as tooltip

Check the example React-tooltip Test

Note:

data-tip is necessary, because <ReactTooltip /> find tooltip via this attribute
data-for correspond to the id of <ReactTooltip />
When using react component as tooltip, you can have many <ReactTooltip /> in a page but they should have different id

Static Methods

ReactTooltip.hide(): Hide the tooltip manually

ReactTooltip.rebuild(): Rebinding tooltip to the corresponding elements

I suggest always put <ReactTooltip /> in the Highest level or smart component of Redux, so you might need these static method to control tooltip's behaviour in some situations

Trouble Shooting

Using tooltip within the modal (e.g. react-modal)

The component was designed to set a <Reactooltip /> one place then use tooltip everywhere, but a lot of people stuck in using this component with modal, you can check the discussion here, the summarization of solving the problem is as following:

Put <ReactTooltip /> out of the <Modal>
Use React.rebuild() when opening the modal
If your modal's z-index happens to higher than the tooltip, use the attribute class to custom your tooltip's z-index
