Tooltip

Flowbite-Svelte allows you to show extra information when hovering or focusing over an element in multiple positions, styles, and animations.

Default tooltip example

To get started with using tooltips all you need to do is set `triggeredBy` attribute of the tooltip component to any CSS query targeting trigger element(s). In the following example you can see the tooltip that will be trigger by the `tooltip-default` element to be shown when hovered or focused.

If you have anything else between the button and tooltip, they won't find each other and you will need to specify the link between them by setting the property `triggeredBy` to the CSS query of the element that triggers the tooltip. Most of the time you will want to use the `id` attribute of the element to link them, but you can use any CSS query you want. See the examples further down.

Tooltip types

You can use choose between dark and light version styles for the tooltip component by changing the utility classes from Tailwind CSS and by applying the `type=light|dark` data attribute.

Placement

The positioning of the tooltip element relative to the triggering element (eg. button, link) can be set using the `placement=top|right|bottom|left` attribute. **Note!** This examples shows you also how to share one tooltip between multiple triggering elements using advanced CSS query.

Custom type

Various color palettes can be set for a tooltip by using the `color` property from the underlying `Frame` component. (Setting `color` prop sets the `type` to `custom` implicitly.) When you want to add a fully custom styles, use `type="custom"`, `defaultClass`, and `class` to modify the tooltip styling.
