Features
Doesn't open until your mouse stops moving.
Easy to animate enter and exit.
Sizable, positionable, unstyled or styled.
Note that Tooltip doesn't render on native platforms.
Installation
Tooltip is already installed in tamagui
, or you can install it independently:
yarn add @tamagui/tooltip
PortalProvider
Only if you aren't not using tamagui
(but rather @tamagui/core
) you'll need to install the @tamagui/portal
package:
yarn add @tamagui/portal
Then add PortalProvider
to the root of your app:
App.tsx
import { PortalProvider } from '@tamagui/portal'import YourApp from './components/YourApp'function App() {return (<PortalProvider shouldAddRootHost><YourApp /></PortalProvider>)}export default App
Props
shouldAddRootHost
boolean
Defines whether to add a default root host or not.
Anatomy
import { Tooltip } from 'tamagui' // or '@tamagui/tooltip'export default () => (<Tooltip><Tooltip.Trigger /><Tooltip.Content><Tooltip.Arrow />{/* ... */}</Tooltip.Content></Tooltip>)
API Reference
Tooltip
Contains every component for the tooltip.
Props
children (required)
React.ReactNode
Must contain Popover.Content
groupId
string
If given, will work alongside TooltipGroup to ensure only one tooltip in the groups stays open.
restMs
number
Time needed for cursor to rest before showing.
delay
number | { open?: number; close?: number }
Maximum time before showing (can be set independently for open/close).
size
SizeTokens
Passes size down too all sub-components when set for padding, arrow, borderRadius
placement
Placement
'top' | 'right' | 'bottom' | 'left' | 'top-start' | 'top-end' | 'right-start' | 'right-end' | 'bottom-start' | 'bottom-end' | 'left-start' | 'left-end'
open
boolean
defaultOpen
boolean
onOpenChange
(open: boolean) => void
modal
boolean
Default:
true
Renders into root of app instead of inline
stayInFrame
ShiftProps
See floating-ui shift()
allowFlip
FlipProps
See floating-ui flip
offset
OffsetOptions
Determines the distance the Popover appears from the target, see floating-ui offset().
If using modal={true}
(which is true
by default), refer to the PortalProvider installation for more information.
Tooltip.Trigger
Used to trigger opening of the popover when uncontrolled, see YStack in Stacks.
Tooltip.Content
Renders as SizableStack (see Stacks) with an extra size
prop that accepts any SizeTokens
.
Tooltip.Anchor
Renders as YStack, see Stacks.
When you want the Trigger to be in another location from where the Tooltip attaches, use Anchor. When used, Anchor is where the Tooltip will attach, while Trigger will open it.
TooltipGroup
This allows you to logically group any tooltips rendered below this component. You can control their delay props, and components inside a TooltipGroup will be smart about opening quicker if you are moving between targets with tooltips, ensuring that subsequent tooltips show immediately rather than after a delay.
See the Floating UI docs for full details on how this works.
Props
delay
number | { open?: number; close?: number }
The delay to use for the group.
timeoutMs
number
An optional timeout to use for the group, which represents when grouping logic will no longer be active after the close delay completes. Useful if you want grouping to last longer than the close delay, for example if there is no close delay at all.
preventAnimation
boolean
Will disable the enter/exit animations while the group is active, but not for the initial enter animation of the first hovered tooltip.
