How to add a tooltip to a component in Next.js

Tooltip can be added in various ways to your project

1. React-tooltip library

a. Install the required package using npm or yarn. Open your terminal and run:

npm install react-tooltip

b. Create a new component for your tooltip. For example, you can create a component called CustomToolTip.js:

// CustomTooltip.js
import React from ‘react’;
import ReactTooltip from ‘react-tooltip’;

const CustomTooltip = ({ id, content }) => {
return (
<>
{content}

);
};

export default CustomTooltip;

c. Now, you can use the CustomToolTip component in any other component where you want to add tooltips.

// YourComponent.js
import React from ‘react’;
import CustomTooltip from ‘./CustomTooltip’;

const YourComponent = () => {
return (
Hover over me to see the tooltip!
);
};

export default YourComponent;

2. Using Tooltip component

Tooltip component can be directly added to your component without installing any external libraries.

For eg:

const Tooltip = ({ content, hasEvent, children }) => {
———content——
};

<Tooltip>—content–</Tooltip>
