API reference

PropTypeDefaultDescription
TooltipProviderTooltipPrimitive.Provider.Props—Forwards Base UI Provider props. The `delay` prop defaults to `0`.
TooltipTooltipPrimitive.Root.Props—Forwards Base UI Root props. Adds the `data-slot="tooltip"` attribute.
TooltipTriggerTooltipPrimitive.Trigger.Props—Forwards Base UI Trigger props. Adds the `data-slot="tooltip-trigger"` attribute.
TooltipContentTooltipPrimitive.Popup.Props & Pick<TooltipPrimitive.Positioner.Props, "align" | "alignOffset" | "side" | "sideOffset">—Accepts Base UI Popup props plus Positioner alignment and placement props. `side` defaults to `"top"`, `sideOffset` to `4`, `align` to `"center"`, and `alignOffset` to `0`. Its `className` is merged with the component styles; content is rendered inside a Portal and includes an arrow.

Accessibility

  • Use a focusable, meaningfully named trigger so the tooltip can supplement an accessible control.
  • Keep tooltip text brief and supplementary; do not make it the only place essential instructions or information are available.
  • Avoid placing interactive elements in the tooltip content; use a popover or dialog for interactive content.
