API Reference

Provider

Wraps your app to provide global functionality to your tooltips.

Prop	Default	Type
`delayDuration`	`700`	`number` The duration from when the pointer enters the trigger until the tooltip gets opened.
`disableClosingTrigger`		`boolean` When `true`, clicking on trigger will not close the content.
`disabled`		`boolean` When `true`, disable tooltip
`disableHoverableContent`	`false`	`boolean` When `true`, trying to hover the content will result in the tooltip closing as the pointer leaves the trigger.
`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.
`skipDelayDuration`	`300`	`number` How much time a user has to enter another trigger without incurring a delay again.

Root

Contains all the parts of a tooltip.

Prop	Default	Type
`defaultOpen`	`false`	`boolean` The open state of the tooltip when it is initially rendered. Use when you do not need to control its open state.
`delayDuration`		`number` Override the duration given to the `Provider` to customise the open delay for a specific tooltip.
`disableClosingTrigger`		`boolean` When `true`, clicking on trigger will not close the content.
`disabled`		`boolean` When `true`, disable tooltip
`disableHoverableContent`		`boolean` Prevents Tooltip.Content from remaining open when hovering. Disabling this has accessibility consequences. Inherits from Tooltip.Provider.
`ignoreNonKeyboardFocus`		`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.
`open`		`boolean` The controlled open state of the tooltip.

Emit	Payload
`update:open`	`[value: boolean]` Event handler called when the open state of the tooltip changes.

Slots (default)	Payload
`open`	`boolean` Current open state

Trigger

The button that toggles the tooltip. By default, the TooltipContent will position itself against the trigger.

Prop	Default	Type
`as`	`'button'`	`AsTag \| Component` The element or component this component should render as. Can be overwritten by `asChild`.
`asChild`		`boolean` Change the default rendered element for the one passed as a child, merging their props and behavior. Read our Composition guide for more details.

Data Attribute	Value
`[data-state]`	`"closed" \| "delayed-open" \| "instant-open"`

Portal

When used, portals the content part into the body.

Prop	Default	Type
`disabled`		`boolean` Disable teleport and render the component inline reference
`forceMount`		`boolean` Used to force mounting when more control is needed. Useful when controlling animation with Vue animation libraries.
`to`		`string \| HTMLElement` Vue native teleport component prop `:to` reference

Content

The component that pops out when the tooltip is open.

Prop	Default	Type
`align`		`'start' \| 'center' \| 'end'` The preferred alignment against the trigger. May change when collisions occur.
`alignOffset`		`number` An offset in pixels from the `start` or `end` alignment options.
`ariaLabel`		`string` By default, screenreaders will announce the content inside the component. If this is not descriptive enough, or you have content that cannot be announced, use aria-label as a more descriptive label.
`arrowPadding`		`number` The padding between the arrow and the edges of the content. If your content has border-radius, this will prevent it from overflowing the corners.
`as`	`'div'`	`AsTag \| Component` The element or component this component should render as. Can be overwritten by `asChild`.
`asChild`		`boolean` Change the default rendered element for the one passed as a child, merging their props and behavior. Read our Composition guide for more details.
`avoidCollisions`		`boolean` When `true`, overrides the side andalign preferences to prevent collisions with boundary edges.
`collisionBoundary`		`Element \| (Element \| null)[] \| null` The element used as the collision boundary. By default this is the viewport, though you can provide additional element(s) to be included in this check.
`collisionPadding`		`number \| Partial<Record<'top' \| 'right' \| 'bottom' \| 'left', number>>` The distance in pixels from the boundary edges where collision detection should occur. Accepts a number (same for all sides), or a partial padding object, for example: { top: 20, left: 20 }.
`forceMount`		`boolean` Used to force mounting when more control is needed. Useful when controlling animation with Vue animation libraries.
`hideWhenDetached`		`boolean` Whether to hide the content when the trigger becomes fully occluded.
`side`	`'top'`	`'top' \| 'right' \| 'bottom' \| 'left'` The preferred side of the trigger to render against when open. Will be reversed when collisions occur and avoidCollisions is enabled.
`sideOffset`		`number` The distance in pixels from the trigger.
`sticky`		`'partial' \| 'always'` The sticky behavior on the align axis. `partial` will keep the content in the boundary as long as the trigger is at least partially in the boundary whilst "always" will keep the content in the boundary regardless.

Emit	Payload
`escapeKeyDown`	`[event: KeyboardEvent]` Event handler called when focus moves to the destructive action after opening. It can be prevented by calling `event.preventDefault`
`pointerDownOutside`	`[event: Event]` Event handler called when a pointer event occurs outside the bounds of the component. It can be prevented by calling `event.preventDefault`.

Data Attribute	Value
`[data-state]`	`"closed" \| "delayed-open" \| "instant-open"`
`[data-side]`	`"left" \| "right" \| "bottom" \| "top"`
`[data-align]`	`"start" \| "end" \| "center"`

CSS Variable	Description
`--radix-tooltip-content-transform-origin`	The `transform-origin` computed from the content and arrow positions/offsets
`--radix-tooltip-content-available-width`	The remaining width between the trigger and the boundary edge
`--radix-tooltip-content-available-height`	The remaining height between the trigger and the boundary edge
`--radix-tooltip-trigger-width`	The width of the trigger
`--radix-tooltip-trigger-height`	The height of the trigger

Arrow

An optional arrow element to render alongside the tooltip. This can be used to help visually link the trigger with the TooltipContent. Must be rendered inside TooltipContent.

Prop	Default	Type
`as`	`'svg'`	`AsTag \| Component` The element or component this component should render as. Can be overwritten by `asChild`.
`asChild`		`boolean` Change the default rendered element for the one passed as a child, merging their props and behavior. Read our Composition guide for more details.
`height`	`5`	`number` The height of the arrow in pixels.
`width`	`10`	`number` The width of the arrow in pixels.

Examples

Configure globally

Use the Provider to control delayDuration and skipDelayDuration globally.

vue

<script setup>
import { TooltipContent, TooltipProvider, TooltipRoot, TooltipTrigger } from 'radix-vue'
</script>

<template>
  <TooltipProvider
    :delay-duration="800"
    :skip-delay-duration="500"
  >
    <TooltipRoot>
      <TooltipTrigger>…</TooltipTrigger>
      <TooltipContent>…</TooltipContent>
    </TooltipRoot>
    <TooltipRoot>
      <TooltipTrigger>…</TooltipTrigger>
      <TooltipContent>…</TooltipContent>
    </TooltipRoot>
  </TooltipProvider>
</template>

Show instantly

Use the delayDuration prop to control the time it takes for the tooltip to open.

vue

<script setup>
import { TooltipContent, TooltipProvider, TooltipRoot, TooltipTrigger } from 'radix-vue'
</script>

<template>
  <TooltipRoot :delay-duration="0">
    <TooltipTrigger>…</TooltipTrigger>
    <TooltipContent>…</TooltipContent>
  </TooltipRoot>
</template>

Since disabled buttons don't fire events, you need to:

Render the Trigger as span.
Ensure the button has no pointerEvents.

vue

<script setup>
import { TooltipContent, TooltipProvider, TooltipRoot, TooltipTrigger } from 'radix-vue'
</script>

<template>
  <TooltipRoot>
    <TooltipTrigger as-child>
      <span tabindex="0">
        <button
          disabled
          style="{ pointerEvents: 'none' }"
        >…</button>
      </span>
    </TooltipTrigger>
    <TooltipContent>…</TooltipContent>
  </TooltipRoot>
</template>

Constrain the content size

You may want to constrain the width of the content so that it matches the trigger width. You may also want to constrain its height to not exceed the viewport.

We expose several CSS custom properties such as --radix-tooltip-trigger-width and --radix-tooltip-content-available-height to support this. Use them to constrain the content dimensions.

vue

 <!-- index.vue -->
<script setup>
import { TooltipContent, TooltipProvider, TooltipRoot, TooltipTrigger } from 'radix-vue'
</script>

<template>
  <TooltipRoot>
    <TooltipTrigger>…</TooltipTrigger>
    <TooltipPortal>
      <TooltipContent
        class="TooltipContent"
        :side-offset="5"
      >
        …
      </TooltipContent>
    </TooltipPortal>
  </TooltipRoot>
</template>

css

/* styles.css */
.TooltipContent {
  width: var(--radix-tooltip-trigger-width);
  max-height: var(--radix-tooltip-content-available-height);
}

Origin-aware animations

We expose a CSS custom property --radix-tooltip-content-transform-origin. Use it to animate the content from its computed origin based on side, sideOffset, align, alignOffset and any collisions.

vue

 <!-- index.vue -->
<script setup>
import { TooltipContent, TooltipProvider, TooltipRoot, TooltipTrigger } from 'radix-vue'
</script>

<template>
  <TooltipRoot>
    <TooltipTrigger>…</TooltipTrigger>
    <TooltipContent class="TooltipContent">
      …
    </TooltipContent>
  </TooltipRoot>
</template>

css

/* styles.css */
.TooltipContent {
  transform-origin: var(--radix-tooltip-content-transform-origin);
  animation: scaleIn 0.5s ease-out;
}

@keyframes scaleIn {
  from {
    opacity: 0;
    transform: scale(0);
  }
  to {
    opacity: 1;
    transform: scale(1);
  }
}

Collision-aware animations

We expose data-side and data-align attributes. Their values will change at runtime to reflect collisions. Use them to create collision and direction-aware animations.

vue

 <!-- index.vue -->
<script setup>
import { TooltipContent, TooltipProvider, TooltipRoot, TooltipTrigger } from 'radix-vue'
</script>

<template>
  <TooltipRoot>
    <TooltipTrigger>…</TooltipTrigger>
    <TooltipContent class="TooltipContent">
      …
    </TooltipContent>
  </TooltipRoot>
</template>

css

/* styles.css */
.TooltipContent {
  animation-duration: 0.6s;
  animation-timing-function: cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1);
}
.TooltipContent[data-side="top"] {
  animation-name: slideUp;
}
.TooltipContent[data-side="bottom"] {
  animation-name: slideDown;
}

@keyframes slideDown {
  from {
    opacity: 0;
    transform: translateY(-10px);
  }
  to {
    opacity: 1;
    transform: translateY(0);
  }
}

@keyframes slideUp {
  from {
    opacity: 0;
    transform: translateY(10px);
  }
  to {
    opacity: 1;
    transform: translateY(0);
  }
}

Accessibility

Keyboard Interactions

Key	Description
`Tab`	Opens/closes the tooltip without delay.
`Space`	If open, closes the tooltip without delay.
`Enter`	If open, closes the tooltip without delay.
`Escape`	If open, closes the tooltip without delay.

Custom APIs

Create your own API by abstracting the primitive parts into your own component.

Abstract parts and introduce a content prop

This example abstracts all of the Tooltip parts and introduces a new content prop.

Usage

vue

<script setup lang="ts">
import { Tooltip } from './your-tooltip'
</script>

<template>
  <Tooltip content="Tooltip content">
    <button>Tooltip trigger</button>
  </Tooltip>
</template>

Implementation

Use the asChild prop to convert the trigger part into a slottable area. It will replace the trigger with the child that gets passed to it.

vue

<!-- your-tooltip.vue  -->
<script setup lang="ts">
import { TooltipArrow, TooltipContent, TooltipRoot, type TooltipRootEmits, type TooltipRootProps, TooltipTrigger, useForwardPropsEmits } from 'radix-vue'

const props = defineProps<TooltipRootProps & { content?: string }>()
const emits = defineEmits<TooltipRootEmits>()

const forward = useForwardPropsEmits(props, emits)
</script>

<template>
  <TooltipRoot v-bind="forward">
    <TooltipTrigger as-child>
      <slot />
    </TooltipTrigger>
    <TooltipContent
      side="top"
      align="center"
    >
      {{ content }}
      <TooltipArrow
        :width="11"
        :height="5"
      />
    </TooltipContent>
  </TooltipRoot>
</template>
