Usage

import { useState } from "react";
import * as Tooltip from "universal-tooltip";
import { Text, View, Pressable, Platform } from "react-native";

// because each platform has different behaviors, but you can replace the components yourself, of course.
const TriggerView = Platform.OS === "web" ? View : Pressable;

const [open, setOpen] = useState(false);

<Tooltip.Root
  // For web, I would like to be triggered automatically with the mouse.
  {...Platform.select({
    web: {},
    default: {
      open,
      onDismiss: () => {
        console.log("onDismiss");
        setOpen(false);
      },
    },
  })}
>
  <Tooltip.Trigger>
    <TriggerView
      {...Platform.select({
        web: {},
        default: {
          open,
          onPress: () => {
            setOpen(true);
          },
        },
