What it does
Delay appearance slightly to avoid tooltip storms while moving the pointer.
Ensure triggers remain focusable for keyboard users.
Composition and API
Prefer compound subcomponents instead of one oversized prop bag. Export a small, documented API for your design system.
Do not place essential instructions only inside tooltips.
Common use cases
- Disambiguate icon-only toolbar controls.
- Clarify truncated column headers.
- Explain formula fields in spreadsheets.
- Offer units on compact KPIs.
Accessibility
Keyboard order, focus rings, and ARIA attributes should match production usage. Test with your supported browsers and assistive technologies when semantics are non-trivial.

Next.js integration notes
Colocate examples under the App Router, keep server and client boundaries explicit, and avoid pulling interactive overlays into unexpected server layouts.
Set NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL so canonical and Open Graph URLs resolve on deploy.
FAQ
Does the Tooltip component work with Next.js App Router?
Yes. Import it like any other React component; keep interactive subtrees in client components when you need hooks or browser APIs, and leave static structure in server components where possible.
Can I customize tooltip with Tailwind CSS?
Zentauri UI exposes class-friendly variants and slots so you can extend styles with Tailwind utilities without fighting inline styles.
Is this Tooltip implementation accessible by default?
Primitives follow sensible defaults, but accessibility depends on how you label controls, manage focus, and wire keyboard handlers in your app. Validate critical flows with keyboard-only use and screen readers.
