Setup & commands

The following commands can be used to setup and run a local environment for developing the tooltip component. Also, we're using husky to run unit tests before a git push is done. This could be by-passed (if absolutely necessary) by running git push --no-verify.

# install dependencies
npm install

# serve with hot reload at localhost:8080
npm start

# build for production with minification
npm run build

# run linter
npm run lint
npm run lint:fix # with fix

# run unit tests
npm run unit

Tooltip types

There are two variations of the tooltip component your application can use, these are called ContextualTooltip and GuidanceTooltip. While they are a bit different in their purpose, they are largely the same in the way they are implemented in your code. The only differences are that GuidanceTooltip works with a click interaction instead of hover interactions and has an additional configuration option to disable click interactions on the element it's bound to.

const simple = new ContextualTooltip({
	element: HTMLElement,
	content: HTMLElement | string,
	position?: Position
})

const complex = new GuidanceTooltip({
	element: HTMLElement,
	content: HTMLElement | string,
	position?: Position,
	disableClick?: boolean,
	onClose?: Function
})

Tooltip configuration

Tooltip styling

When using Tooltip in your code, you should also make sure the default Tooltip styling is included. This can be done by importing it like so:

@import '~@studyportals/tooltip/dist/tooltip.css';
