Markup

We provide custom elements <o3-tooltip-onboarding> and <o3-tooltip-toggle>. React users may include these using our JSX template.

<o3-tooltip-onboarding> is used to display a tooltip on a HTML target element that can have an aria-describedby attribute. It is used to provide additional information about the target element and is shown immediately once the page is loaded. It can be only closed by clicking the close button.

<o3-tooltip-toggle> does not have a close button and is used with an information icon. It can be triggered by clicking on the information icon and will be removed from the DOM if the user clicks outside the tooltip, presses ESC, or clicks the info icon again.

Below are examples of how to use <o3-tooltip-onboarding> and <o3-tooltip-toggle> custom elements:

<!-- <o3-tooltip-onboarding> -->
<div data-o3-brand="[your brand]">
 <button
  id="demo-o3-tooltip-id"
  class="o3-button o3-button--secondary o3-button--big demo-tooltip-target"
  aria-describedby="demo-o3-tooltip-content"
 >
  Share
 </button>
 <o3-tooltip-onboarding
  role="tooltip"
  placement="top"
  target-id="demo-o3-tooltip-id"
  class="o3-tooltip"
  content="Tool tip content that is quite long, Tool tip content that is quite long, Tool tip content that is quite long"
  title="Title"
  content-id="demo-o3-tooltip-content"
 >
 </o3-tooltip-onboarding>
</div>

content-id is used to link the tooltip to the target element. It is used to provide additional information about the target element.

<!-- <o3-tooltip-toggle> -->
<div data-o3-brand="[your brand]">
 <o3-tooltip-toggle
  placement="bottom"
  class="o3-tooltip"
  content="click the button to see the tooltip"
  title="Title"
  info-label="more information"
 >
 </o3-tooltip-toggle> 
</div>

info-label attribute is used to provide a label for info icon to have better screen reader experience. By default, it is set to "more information".

JavaScript

No code will run automatically unless you import the client side JavaScript. To import the JavaScript, you can use the following code:

import '@financial-times/o3-tooltip';

css

To style o3-tooltip import brand specific css, this varies depending on your project. For example:

@import '@financial-times/o3-tooltip/css/[your brand].css';

JSX

o3-tooltip exports two JSX templates, TooltipOnboarding and TooltipToggle for each tooltip component. JSX templates are exported as cjs (common JS) and esm (ECMAScript) modules, so depending on your system configuration, you may need to import the correct module type. TSX templates can help to avoid copy-pasting html. For example:

import {
 TooltipOnboarding,
 TooltipToggle,
} from '@financial-times/o3-tooltip/cjs';

import '@financial-times/o3-tooltip'; // import the JavaScript needed for custom elements on client side

import '@finacial-times/o3-tooltip/css/[your brand].css'; // tooltip styling

<div className="o3-brand-[your brand]">
 <button id="target" aria-describedby="contentId">
  Target element
 </button>
 <TooltipOnboarding {...props} />;
 <TooltipToggle {...props} />
</div>;
