Tooltips are a useful UI element that provides additional information or context when users hover over an element.
To display a tooltip in React Bootstrap, you can use the OverlayTrigger
component and the Tooltip
component. The OverlayTrigger
component wraps the element that you want to display the tooltip for, and the Tooltip
component specifies the content of the tooltip.
We'll explore how to easily integrate tooltips into your React application using React Bootstrap. We need to follow the following steps for this.
Start by installing React Bootstrap into your project.
npm install react-bootstrap
In the component where you want to use tooltips, import the necessary components from React Bootstrap.
import { OverlayTrigger, Tooltip } from 'react-bootstrap';
Create a component or function that returns the content of your tooltip.
const MyTooltip = () => (<Tooltip>This is a tooltip!</Tooltip>);
Wrap the element where you want to display the tooltip with the OverlayTrigger
component. Pass the MyTooltip
component as the overlay
prop.
const MyComponent = () => (<OverlayTrigger placement="top" overlay={MyTooltip}><button>Hover me for a tooltip</button></OverlayTrigger>);
