## Looking for maintainers
I learnt a lot from creating and maintaining react-toolip, but now I start putting my focus on other challenges, so just let me know by sending email to wayne.wang0821@gmail.com if you have interests in maintaining the project :)
## Maintainers
[huumanoid](https://github.com/huumanoid)
## Installation
```sh
npm install react-tooltip
```
## Usage
**Using NPM**
1 . Require react-tooltip after installation
```js
import ReactTooltip from 'react-tooltip'
```
2 . Add data-tip = "your placeholder" to your element
```jsx
Tooltip
```
3 . Include react-tooltip component
```js
```
**Standalone**
You can import `node_modules/react-tooltip/standalone/react-tooltip.min.js` into your page. Please make sure that you have already imported `react` and `react-dom` into your page.
## Options
Notes:
* The tooltip sets `type: dark` `place: top` `effect: float` as **default** attributes. You don't have to add these options if you don't want to change the defaults
* The option you set on `` component will be implemented on every tooltip in a same page: ``
* The option you set on a specific element, for example: `` will only affect this specific tooltip
Check example: [React-tooltip Test](http://wwayne.com/react-tooltip)
Global|Specific |Type |Values | Description
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:----
place | data-place | String | top, right, bottom, left | placement
type | data-type | String | success, warning, error, info, light | theme
effect| data-effect | String | float, solid | behaviour of tooltip
event | data-event | String | e.g. click | custom event to trigger tooltip
eventOff | data-event-off | String | e.g. click | custom event to hide tooltip (only makes effect after setting event attribute)
globalEventOff | | String| e.g. click| global event to hide tooltip (global only)
isCapture | data-iscapture | Bool | true, false | when set to true, custom event's propagation mode will be capture
offset | data-offset | Object | top, right, bottom, left | `data-offset="{'top': 10, 'left': 10}"` for specific and `offset={{top: 10, left: 10}}` for global
multiline | data-multiline | Bool | true, false | support ` `, ` ` to make multiline
className | data-class | String | | extra custom class, can use !important to overwrite react-tooltip's default class
html | data-html | Bool | true, false | `` or ``
delayHide | data-delay-hide | Number | | `` or ``
delayShow | data-delay-show | Number | | `` or ``
insecure | null | Bool | true, false | Whether to inject the style header into the page dynamically (violates CSP style-src but is a convenient default)
border | data-border | Bool | true, false | Add one pixel white border
getContent | null | Func or Array | () => {}, [() => {}, Interval] | Generate the tip content dynamically
afterShow | null | Func | () => {} | Function that will be called after tooltip show
afterHide | null | Func | () => {} | Function that will be called after tooltip hide
disable | data-tip-disable | Bool | true, false | Disable the tooltip behaviour, default is false
scrollHide | data-scroll-hide | Bool | true, false | Hide the tooltip when scrolling, default is true
resizeHide | null | Bool | true, false | Hide the tooltip when resizing the window, default is true
wrapper | null | String | div, span | Selecting the wrapper element of the react tooltip, default is div
## Using react component as tooltip
Check the example [React-tooltip Test](http://wwayne.com/react-tooltip)
##### Note:
1. **data-tip** is necessary, because `` finds the tooltip via this attribute
2. **data-for** corresponds to the **id** of ``
3. When using react component as tooltip, you can have many `` in a page but they should have different **id**s
## Static Methods
### ReactTooltip.hide(target)
> Hide the tooltip manually, the target is optional, if no target passed in, all existing tooltips will be hidden
```js
import {findDOMNode} from 'react-dom'
import ReactTooltip from 'react-tooltip'
```
### ReactTooltip.rebuild()
> Rebinding all tooltips
### ReactTooltip.show(target)
> Show specific tooltip manually, for example:
```js
import {findDOMNode} from 'react-dom'
import ReactTooltip from 'react-tooltip'
```
## Troubleshooting
### 1. Using tooltip within the modal (e.g. [react-modal](https://github.com/reactjs/react-modal))
The component was designed to set `` once and then use tooltip everywhere, but a lot of people get stuck when using this component in a modal. You can read the discussion [here](https://github.com/wwayne/react-tooltip/issues/130). To solve this problem:
1. Place `` outside of the ``
2. Use `ReactTooltip.rebuild()` when opening the modal
3. If your modal's z-index happens to be higher than the tooltip's, use the attribute `className` to custom your tooltip's z-index
>I suggest always putting `` in the Highest level or smart component of Redux, so you might need these static
method to control tooltip's behaviour in some situations
### 2. Hide tooltip when getContent returns undefined
When you set `getContent={() => { return }}` you will find the tooltip will display `true`. That's because React will set the value of data-* to be 'true' automatically if there is no value to be set. So you have to set `data-tip=''` in this situation.
```jsx
{ return null }}/>
```
Same for empty children, if you don't want show the tooltip when the children is empty
```jsx
{}
```
