Tooltip

Tooltip Component in Bolt

Tooltip component. Part of the Bolt “Components” CSS framework that powers the Bolt Design System.

Install via NPM
npm install @bolt/components-tooltip

Description

The tooltip component provides the user with a onHover Or onClick (button) toggle to display nearly any kind of content or Bolt Component nested within.

Use Cases (not limited to)

  • Help text
  • Navigational assistance (such as language select)
  • Used within other components, such as Share, to enhance functionality and presentation

Best Practices

  • Toggle icons should be tested to ensure smooth transition states
  • The noWrap option should only be used when small snippets of text or content are used
  {% include "@bolt-components-tooltip/tooltip.twig" with {
  trigger: {
    type: "text",
    text: "This is the tooltip trigger"
  },
  content: "This is the tooltip content."
} only %}

Note: when assigning component props as HTML attributes on a web component, make sure to use kebab-case.
