Tooltip

Instant hover/focus hint. Each Tooltip ships its own provider (`delayDuration` 0).

beta@zedtech/zedkit-ui

Who is it for?: Developers adding a short extra name that appears on hover or focus.
When should I use it?: For a one-line hint on a control that already has a visible name.
When should I pick something else?: For an icon-only button — pass `label` on `IconButton`. For text the reader must keep — use a popover.

Use it

Simple

import { Button, Tooltip, TooltipContent, TooltipTrigger } from "@zedtech/zedkit-ui";
<Tooltip>
  <TooltipTrigger asChild><Button>Save</Button></TooltipTrigger>
  <TooltipContent>Saves the invoice</TooltipContent>
</Tooltip>

Kit not installed yet?

This ships on npm only; there is no copy-source brick for it.

You get

Every component from one import, with the theme tokens included. Updates arrive with your package manager.

You need

React 19 and Tailwind CSS 4, for example a Next.js app created with the Tailwind option.

Install

Terminal

pnpm add @zedtech/zedkit-ui @fontsource-variable/inter @fontsource-variable/space-grotesk

Load the styles

Tailwind does not scan node_modules, so the @source line points it at the kit's class names. The path is relative to this file.

src/app/globals.cssReplace the contents

@import "tailwindcss";
@import "@zedtech/zedkit-ui/styles.css";
@source "../../node_modules/@zedtech/zedkit-ui/src/**/*.{ts,tsx}";
@source not "../../node_modules/@zedtech/zedkit-ui/src/**/*.test.*";

Pick a look

Set data-identity="glass" on <html> so the finished app matches the site. Fresh app: replace src/app/layout.tsx. Existing app: merge, and keep ThemeProvider and other providers.

src/app/layout.tsxReplace the contents

import "./globals.css";
import "./fonts";

export default function RootLayout({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  return (
    <html lang="en" data-identity="glass">
      <body>{children}</body>
    </html>
  );
}

Load the fonts
The Glass look uses Inter and Space Grotesk; these imports self-host them.
src/app/fonts.tsCreate the file
```
import "@fontsource-variable/inter";
import "@fontsource-variable/space-grotesk";
```

Import and render

src/app/page.tsxReplace the contents

import { Button, Tooltip, TooltipContent, TooltipTrigger } from "@zedtech/zedkit-ui";

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <main className="px-page-gutter py-section-sm">
      <Tooltip>
        <TooltipTrigger asChild><Button>Save</Button></TooltipTrigger>
        <TooltipContent>Saves the invoice</TooltipContent>
      </Tooltip>
    </main>
  );
}

Props

Prop

Type

Accessibility

Content is role="tooltip" and tied to the trigger. Keep the sentence short. Keyboard focus shows it as well as hover.

DropdownMenu

Action menu (trigger + items) with keyboard and axe coverage. Not a form select.

RouteModal

A route-driven modal (right drawer or centered dialog) that plays its exit before navigating back, with a list fallback.
