AstroLaunch UI Tooltip for React

Customise your web projects with an easy-to-use and responsive AstroLaunch UI Tooltip!

A tooltip is a small pop-up element that appears while the user moves the mouse pointer over an element. Use it when you want to specify extra information about something when the user moves the mouse pointer over an element.

See below our example that will help you create a simple tooltip for your React project.

import { Tooltip, Button } from "@material-tailwind/react";
 
export function TooltipDefault() {
  return (
    <Tooltip content="AstroLaunch UI">
      <Button>Show Tooltip</Button>
    </Tooltip>
  );
}

You can change the position of the Tooltip component using the placement prop.

import { Tooltip, Button } from "@material-tailwind/react";
 
export function TooltipPlacement() {
  return (
    <>
      <div className="mb-3 flex gap-3">
        <Tooltip content="AstroLaunch UI" placement="top">
          <Button>Top</Button>
        </Tooltip>
        <Tooltip content="AstroLaunch UI" placement="top-start">
          <Button>Top Start</Button>
        </Tooltip>
        <Tooltip content="AstroLaunch UI" placement="top-end">
          <Button>Top End</Button>
        </Tooltip>
      </div>
      <div className="mb-3 flex gap-3">
        <Tooltip content="AstroLaunch UI" placement="right">
          <Button>Right</Button>
        </Tooltip>
        <Tooltip content="AstroLaunch UI" placement="right-start">
          <Button>Right Start</Button>
        </Tooltip>
        <Tooltip content="AstroLaunch UI" placement="right-end">
          <Button>Right End</Button>
        </Tooltip>
      </div>
      <div className="mb-3 flex gap-3">
        <Tooltip content="AstroLaunch UI" placement="bottom">
          <Button>Bottom</Button>
        </Tooltip>
        <Tooltip content="AstroLaunch UI" placement="bottom-start">
          <Button>Bottom Start</Button>
        </Tooltip>
        <Tooltip content="AstroLaunch UI" placement="bottom-end">
          <Button>Bottom End</Button>
        </Tooltip>
      </div>
      <div className="flex gap-3">
        <Tooltip content="AstroLaunch UI" placement="left">
          <Button>Left</Button>
        </Tooltip>
        <Tooltip content="AstroLaunch UI" placement="left-start">
          <Button>Left Start</Button>
        </Tooltip>
        <Tooltip content="AstroLaunch UI" placement="left-end">
          <Button>Left End</Button>
        </Tooltip>
      </div>
    </>
  );
}

You can modify the open/close state animation for Tooltip component using the animate prop.

import { Tooltip, Button } from "@material-tailwind/react";
 
export default function TooltipCustomAnimation() {
  return (
    <Tooltip
      content="AstroLaunch UI"
      animate={{
        mount: { scale: 1, y: 0 },
        unmount: { scale: 0, y: 25 },
      }}
    >
      <Button>Show Tooltip</Button>
    </Tooltip>
  );
}

This tooltip example is perfect if you want to avoid cluttering the screen. It provides additional info about a specific element on the website.

import { Tooltip, Typography } from "@material-tailwind/react";
 
export function TooltipWithHelperIcon() {
  return (
    <Tooltip
      content={
        <div className="w-80">
          <Typography color="white" className="font-medium">
            AstroLaunch UI
          </Typography>
          <Typography
            variant="small"
            color="white"
            className="font-normal opacity-80"
          >
            AstroLaunch UI is an easy to use components library for Tailwind
            CSS and Material Design.
          </Typography>
        </div>
      }
    >
      <svg
        xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
        fill="none"
        viewBox="0 0 24 24"
        stroke="currentColor"
        strokeWidth={2}
        className="h-5 w-5 cursor-pointer text-blue-gray-500"
      >
        <path
          strokeLinecap="round"
          strokeLinejoin="round"
          d="M11.25 11.25l.041-.02a.75.75 0 011.063.852l-.708 2.836a.75.75 0 001.063.853l.041-.021M21 12a9 9 0 11-18 0 9 9 0 0118 0zm-9-3.75h.008v.008H12V8.25z"
        />
      </svg>
    </Tooltip>
  );
}

You can use the className prop to add custom styles to the Tooltip component.

import { Tooltip, Typography } from "@material-tailwind/react";
 
export function TooltipCustomStyles() {
  return (
    <Tooltip
      placement="bottom"
      className="border border-blue-gray-50 bg-white px-4 py-3 shadow-xl shadow-black/10"
      content={
        <div className="w-80">
          <Typography color="blue-gray" className="font-medium">
            AstroLaunch UI
          </Typography>
          <Typography
            variant="small"
            color="blue-gray"
            className="font-normal opacity-80"
          >
            AstroLaunch UI is an easy to use components library for Tailwind
            CSS and Material Design.
          </Typography>
        </div>
      }
    >
      <svg
        xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
        fill="none"
        viewBox="0 0 24 24"
        stroke="currentColor"
        strokeWidth={2}
        className="h-5 w-5 cursor-pointer text-blue-gray-500"
      >
        <path
          strokeLinecap="round"
          strokeLinejoin="round"
          d="M11.25 11.25l.041-.02a.75.75 0 011.063.852l-.708 2.836a.75.75 0 001.063.853l.041-.021M21 12a9 9 0 11-18 0 9 9 0 0118 0zm-9-3.75h.008v.008H12V8.25z"
        />
      </svg>

}

Learn how to customize the theme and styles for tooltip components, the theme object for tooltip components has two main objects:

A. The defaultProps object for setting up the default value for props of tooltip component.
B. The styles object for customizing the theme and styles of tooltip component.

You can customize the theme and styles of tooltip components by adding Tailwind CSS classes as key paired values for objects.

interface TooltipStylesType {
  defaultProps: {
    interactive: string;
    placement: string;
    offset:
      | number
      | {
          mainAxis: number;
          crossAxis: number;
          alignmentAxis: number;
        };
    dismiss: {
