See it on NPM! How big is this package in your project? Try it on webcomponents.dev

yarn add @spectrum-web-components/tooltip

Import the side effectful registration of <sp-tooltip> via:

import '@spectrum-web-components/tooltip/sp-tooltip.js';

When looking to leverage the Tooltip base class as a type and/or for extension purposes, do so via:

import { Tooltip } from '@spectrum-web-components/tooltip';

Example #

Tooltips can be top, bottom, left, or right.

<sp-tooltip open placement="top">Label</sp-tooltip>
<br />
<br />
<sp-tooltip open placement="bottom">Label</sp-tooltip>
<br />
<br />
<sp-tooltip open placement="left">Label</sp-tooltip>
<br />
<br />
<sp-tooltip open placement="right">Label</sp-tooltip>

Self-managed overlays #

By default, Tooltip provides styling without behavior. You must combine it with an Overlay Trigger in order to manage its overlay behavior.

You can use the tooltip as the descendant of an interactive element, such as Action Button, by applying the self-managed attribute which automatically binds the Tooltip to its first interactive ancestor element's focus/hover interactions:

<sp-action-button>
    Trigger
    <sp-tooltip self-managed>Content</sp-tooltip>
</sp-action-button>

This is especially useful when inserting an intermediate <overlay-trigger> would interfere with parent/child relationships, such as between <sp-action-group> and <sp-action-button>.

Note that an interactive element is an element that can receive focus during tab navigation, such as sp-action-button, sp-action-menu, sp-field-label etc.

Given that tooltip is not focusable by itself, it would not show up during tab navigation. Thus a tooltip would not be accessible if used with a non-interactive element, such as <sp-icon-*>.

The correct way to make it accessible would be to wrap it under an interactive element, such as sp-action-button:

<sp-action-button size="s">
    <sp-icon-info></sp-icon-info>
    <sp-tooltip self-managed placement="right">
        Display something here
    </sp-tooltip>
</sp-action-button>
