Tooltip
Beta

Use Tooltips to provide additional contextual information about a particular element or subject.

To add the Tooltip component to your app:

import {Tooltip} from '@stripe/ui-extension-sdk/ui';

This is a preview of two Tooltip components with each type of label:

<Tooltip
  type="description"
  trigger={
    <Button type="primary" disabled onPress={undefined}>
      Pay out to bank
    </Button>
  }
>
  You have no available balance to pay out. You can create payouts when
  you've accumulated a positive balance again.
</Tooltip>

<Tooltip
  type="label"
  trigger={
    <Button onPress={undefined}>
      <Icon name="notifications" />
    </Button>
  }
>
  Notifications
</Tooltip>

Tooltips are overlays that appear when a user hovers or focuses a target element. Use Tooltips to provide additional contextual information about a particular element or subject. You can use tooltips as either descriptions or labels.

Avoid putting any interactive content such as links within a Tooltip, because keyboard users won’t be able to access it.

Props

Prop	Type	Description
trigger Required	`RefObject<HTMLElement> \| ReactElement<any, string \| JSXElementConstructor<any>>`	The target element that should be used as the Tooltip trigger.
delay	`number`	How much time in milliseconds to wait before showing the Tooltip on hover
placement	`Placement`	How the Tooltip should be placed relative to the trigger element
type	`"label" \| "description"`	The style variant of the Tooltip

Placement

You can place tooltips in one of 4 primary directions and further align them along a secondary axis, resulting in a total of 12 possible placement options relative to the trigger. The placement automatically adjusts as necessary to ensure the Tooltip remains visible within the viewport.

<Tooltip placement="top left" trigger={<Button onPress={undefined}><Icon name="info" /></Button>}>
  "top left"
</Tooltip>
<Tooltip placement="top" trigger={<Button onPress={undefined}><Icon name="info" /></Button>}>
  "top"
</Tooltip>
<Tooltip placement="top right" trigger={<Button onPress={undefined}><Icon name="info" /></Button>}>
  "top right"
</Tooltip>
<Tooltip placement="right top" trigger={<Button onPress={undefined}><Icon name="info" /></Button>}>
  "right top"
</Tooltip>
<Tooltip placement="right" trigger={<Button onPress={undefined}><Icon name="info" /></Button>}>
  "right"
</Tooltip>
<Tooltip placement="right bottom" trigger={<Button onPress={undefined}><Icon name="info" /></Button>}>
  "right bottom"
</Tooltip>
<Tooltip placement="bottom right" trigger={<Button onPress={undefined}><Icon name="info" /></Button>}>
  "bottom right"
</Tooltip>
<Tooltip placement="bottom" trigger={<Button onPress={undefined}><Icon name="info" /></Button>}>
  "bottom"
</Tooltip>
<Tooltip placement="bottom left" trigger={<Button onPress={undefined}><Icon name="info" /></Button>}>
  "bottom left"
</Tooltip>
<Tooltip placement="left bottom" trigger={<Button onPress={undefined}><Icon name="info" /></Button>}>
  "left bottom"
</Tooltip>
<Tooltip placement="left" trigger={<Button onPress={undefined}><Icon name="info" /></Button>}>
  "left"
</Tooltip>
<Tooltip placement="left top" trigger={<Button onPress={undefined}><Icon name="info" /></Button>}>
  "left top"
</Tooltip>

Delay

Tooltips have a short delay for when they appear after hovering over their trigger element. You can control the amount of time it takes for a Tooltip to become active on hover using the delay prop. Tooltips always appear immediately when their trigger element receives keyboard focus.

<Tooltip delay={0} trigger={<Button onPress={undefined}>Immediate</Button>}>
  I showed up immediately.
</Tooltip>

Tooltips appear immediately on hover while another Tooltip is already active.

<Tooltip trigger={<Button onPress={undefined}>Hover me</Button>}>
  I showed up after a delay.
</Tooltip>

<Tooltip trigger={<Button onPress={undefined}>Then me</Button>}>
  I showed up immediately.
</Tooltip>
