react-tooltip
Looking for maintainers
I learnt a lot from creating and maintaining react-toolip, but now I start putting my focus on other challenges, so just let me know by sending email to wayne.wang0821@gmail.com if you have interests in maintaining the project :)Maintainers
huumanoidInstallation
npm install react-tooltip
Usage
Using NPM1 . Require react-tooltip after installation
import ReactTooltip from 'react-tooltip'
2 . Add data-tip = "your placeholder" to your element
<p data-tip="hello world">Tooltip</p>
3 . Include 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 sets
type: dark
place: top
effect: float
as default attributes. You don't have to add these options if you don't want to change the defaults - 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 a specific element, for example:
<a data-type="warning"></a>
will only affect this specific tooltip
Check example: React-tooltip Test

to make multiline
className | data-class | String | | extra custom class, can use !important to overwrite react-tooltip's default class
html | data-html | Bool | true, false | <p data-tip="<p>HTML tooltip</p>" data-html={true}></p>
or <ReactTooltip html={true} />
delayHide | data-delay-hide | Number | | <p data-tip="tooltip" data-delay-hide='1000'></p>
or <ReactTooltip delayHide={1000} />
delayShow | data-delay-show | Number | | <p data-tip="tooltip" data-delay-show='1000'></p>
or <ReactTooltip delayShow={1000} />
insecure | null | Bool | true, false | Whether to inject the style header into the page dynamically (violates CSP style-src but is a convenient default)
border | data-border | Bool | true, false | Add one pixel white border
getContent | null | Func or Array | () => {}, () => {}, Interval | Generate the tip content dynamically
afterShow | null | Func | () => {} | Function that will be called after tooltip show
afterHide | null | Func | () => {} | Function that will be called after tooltip hide
disable | data-tip-disable | Bool | true, false | Disable the tooltip behaviour, default is false
scrollHide | data-scroll-hide | Bool | true, false | Hide the tooltip when scrolling, default is true
resizeHide | null | Bool | true, false | Hide the tooltip when resizing the window, default is true
wrapper | null | String | div, span | Selecting the wrapper element of the react tooltip, default is divUsing react component as tooltip
Check the example React-tooltip TestNote:
- data-tip is necessary, because
<ReactTooltip />
finds the tooltip via this attribute - data-for corresponds to the id of
<ReactTooltip />
- When using react component as tooltip, you can have many
<ReactTooltip />
in a page but they should have different ids
Static Methods
ReactTooltip.hide(target)
Hide the tooltip manually, the target is optional, if no target passed in, all existing tooltips will be hidden
import {findDOMNode} from 'react-dom'
import ReactTooltip from 'react-tooltip'
<p ref='foo' data-tip='tooltip'></p>
<button onClick={() => { ReactTooltip.hide(findDOMNode(this.refs.foo)) }}></button>
<ReactTooltip />
ReactTooltip.rebuild()
Rebinding all tooltips
ReactTooltip.show(target)
Show specific tooltip manually, for example:
import {findDOMNode} from 'react-dom'
import ReactTooltip from 'react-tooltip'
<p ref='foo' data-tip='tooltip'></p>
<button onClick={() => { ReactTooltip.show(this.refs.foo) }}></button>
<ReactTooltip />
Troubleshooting
- Using tooltip within the modal (e.g. react-modal)
The component was designed to set <ReactTooltip />
once and then use tooltip everywhere, but a lot of people get stuck when using this component in a modal. You can read the discussion here. To solve this problem:- Place
<ReactTooltip />
outside of the<Modal>
- Use
ReactTooltip.rebuild()
when opening the modal - If your modal's z-index happens to be higher than the tooltip's, use the attribute
className
to custom your tooltip's z-index
>I suggest always putting
<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- Hide tooltip when getContent returns undefined
When you set getContent={() => { return }}
you will find the tooltip will display true
. That's because React will set the value of data- to be 'true' automatically if there is no value to be set. So you have to set data-tip=''
in this situation.<p data-tip='' data-for='test'></p>
<ReactTooltip id='test' getContent={() => { return null }}/>
Same for empty children, if you don't want show the tooltip when the children is empty
<p data-tip='' data-for='test'></p>
<ReactTooltip id='test'>{}</ReactTooltip>
