Functional specs

  • Whenever event onMouseEnter, onFocus or onClick fires, the script inside this component will calculate possible positions that can be applied and the first possible will be applied.

  • You can prefer one position and one align that will be used if possible, otherwise the default order in enum table will be used for both position and align.

  • For mobile devices, the user needs to click on the children to open the Tooltip.

  • The Tooltip component supports rendering of many different components inside its children. You can use combination of e.g. Text, Stack, List and custom image to show information to user about the CVV code. All rendered text inside the Tooltip should have white color on big devices (>= largeMobile) automatically:

<Tooltip
content={
<Stack>
<CustomImage />
<Text>You can find the CVV in the right corner of your credit card.</Text>
<List>
<ListItem>Additional information</ListItem>
</List>
</Stack>
}
>
<InformationCircle />
</Tooltip>
  • If you use Tooltip inside Alert, the Text should be automatically underlined with dotted line colored into the color of Alert.

  • For ensuring that Tooltip component will work properly, add div with id set to tooltips. If not, the Tooltip will be rendered into the end of your DOM.
