Tooltip

Tooltip GitHub

A popup that reveals information when hovering over an element.

Usage

Use a Button or any other component in the default slot of the Tooltip.

Make sure to wrap your app with the App component which uses the TooltipProvider component from Radix Vue.

You can check the App component tooltip prop to see how to configure the Tooltip globally.

Text

Use the text prop to set the content of the Tooltip.

text

<template>
  <UTooltip text="Open on GitHub">
    <UButton label="Open" color="neutral" variant="subtle" />
  </UTooltip>
</template>

Kbds

Use the kbds prop to render Kbd components in the Tooltip.

<template>
  <UTooltip text="Open on GitHub" :kbds="['meta', 'G']">
    <UButton label="Open" color="neutral" variant="subtle" />
  </UTooltip>
</template>

You can use special keys like meta that displays as ⌘ on macOS and Ctrl on other platforms.

Delay

Use the delay-duration prop to change the delay before the Tooltip appears. For example, you can make it appear instantly by setting it to 0.

delayDuration

<template>
  <UTooltip :delay-duration="0" text="Open on GitHub">
    <UButton label="Open" color="neutral" variant="subtle" />
  </UTooltip>
</template>

This can be configured globally through the tooltip.delayDuration option in the App component.

Content

Use the content prop to control how the Tooltip content is rendered, like its align or side for example.

content.align

content.side

content.sideOffset

<template>
  <UTooltip
    :content="{
      align: 'center',
      side: 'bottom',
      sideOffset: 8
    }"
    text="Open on GitHub"
  >
    <UButton label="Open" color="neutral" variant="subtle" />
  </UTooltip>
</template>

Arrow

Use the arrow prop to display an arrow on the Tooltip.

<template>
  <UTooltip arrow text="Open on GitHub">
    <UButton label="Open" color="neutral" variant="subtle" />
  </UTooltip>
</template>

Disabled

Use the disabled prop to disable the Tooltip.

disabled

<template>
  <UTooltip disabled text="Open on GitHub">
    <UButton label="Open" color="neutral" variant="subtle" />
  </UTooltip>
</template>

Examples

Control open state

You can control the open state by using the default-open prop or the v-model:open directive.

<script setup lang="ts">
const open = ref(false)

defineShortcuts({
  o: () => open.value = !open.value
})
</script>

<template>
  <UTooltip v-model:open="open" text="Open on GitHub">
    <UButton label="Open" color="neutral" variant="subtle" />
  </UTooltip>
</template>

In this example, leveraging defineShortcuts, you can toggle the Tooltip by pressing O.

`arrow`	`false`	`boolean \| TooltipArrowProps` Display an arrow alongside the tooltip.
`portal`	`true`	`boolean` Render the tooltip in a portal.
`defaultOpen`		`boolean` The open state of the tooltip when it is initially rendered. Use when you do not need to control its open state.

`delayDuration`	`700`	`number` Override the duration given to the `Provider` to customise the open delay for a specific tooltip.
`disableHoverableContent`		`boolean` Prevents Tooltip.Content from remaining open when hovering. Disabling this has accessibility consequences. Inherits from Tooltip.Provider.

`disabled`	`false`	`boolean` When `true`, disable tooltip
`ignoreNonKeyboardFocus`	`false`	`boolean` Prevent the tooltip from opening if the focus did not come from the keyboard by matching against the `:focus-visible` selector. This is useful if you want to avoid opening it when switching browser tabs or closing a dialog.
