How to use it

Wrap tooltips in TooltipProvider. Avoid interactive controls inside tooltips; use Popover instead.

Import

React / Next.js
1import { Tooltip, TooltipProvider, TooltipTrigger, TooltipContent } from "@kivora/nextjs";

Interactive examples run inside a component with "use client". The playground's Copy button includes the imports needed for the current example.

API reference 0.2.0

Types from the installed published version, including component properties and common HTML attributes. “Optional” does not imply a default value; omitting a property lets the component decide.

PropertyTypeDescription
childrenReactNodeContent or child elements of the component.
defaultOpenbooleanWhether it starts open in uncontrolled mode.
delayDurationnumberThe duration from when the pointer enters the trigger until the tooltip gets opened. This will override the prop with the same name passed to Provider.
disableHoverableContentbooleanWhen `true`, trying to hover the content will result in the tooltip closing as the pointer leaves the trigger.
onOpenChange((open: boolean) => void)Receives the new open state.
openbooleanControlled open state.

Subcomponents and composition

Review each component's properties and published declaration. Native and accessibility attributes are inherited from the element specified by its type.
