Tooltip

A tooltip is a brief, informative message that appears when a user interacts with an element.

    SourceTheme source@chakra-ui/tooltip

Import#

import { Tooltip } from '@chakra-ui/react'

Usage#

If the children of Tooltip is a string, we wrap with in a span with tabIndex set to 0, to ensure it meets the accessibility requirements.

Note 🚨: If the Tooltip is wrapping a functional component, ensure that the functional component accepts a ref using forwardRef.

Using custom components#

const CustomCard = React.forwardRef(({ children, ...rest }, ref) => (
<Box p='1'>
<Tag ref={ref} {...rest}>
{children}
</Tag>
</Box>
))
const CustomToolTip = () => (
<Tooltip label='Hover me'>
<CustomCard>Tag Here</CustomCard>
</Tooltip>
)
render(<CustomToolTip />)
<Tooltip label="Hey, I'm here!" aria-label='A tooltip'>
Hover me
</Tooltip>

With an icon#

<Tooltip label='Phone number' fontSize='md'>
<PhoneIcon />
</Tooltip>

Note 🚨: If you're wrapping an icon from react-icons, you need to also wrap the icon in a span element as react-icons icons do not use forwardRef.

With arrow#

<Tooltip hasArrow label='Search places' bg='gray.300' color='black'>
<SearchIcon />
</Tooltip>

Tooltip with focusable content#

If the children of the tooltip is a focusable element, the tooltip will show when you focus or hover on the element, and will hide when you blur or move cursor out of the element.

<Tooltip hasArrow label='Search places' bg='red.600'>
<Button>Button</Button>
</Tooltip>

Disabling Tooltip#

To disable showing a tooltip, pass the isDisabled prop to the Tooltip component.

<Tooltip isDisabled>
<SearchIcon />
</Tooltip>

Placement#

Using the placement prop you can adjust where your tooltip will be displayed.
