Tooltip
Tooltips are floating labels that briefly explain the function of a user interface element. They must be specified inside the overlay
prop of an activator component. Currently, activator components are Button
, Link
, and Pressable
.
The library automatically applies the WAI-ARIA Tooltip Widget pattern to both the activator and the tooltip content. Expect screen readers to read the tooltip content when the user focuses the activator.
