In this React 16+ tutorial, we are going to ascertain how to build and add Tooltips and Popovers in React.js application using the Bootstrap 4 CSS framework.
The React Bootstrap package implied all the JavaScript-based components for the Bootstrap 4 library, and we are using it for the React Tooltip and Popover example.
Overlays are the fundamental set of components to craft the eye-catching overlays, tooltips and popovers; they depend on third-party plugins such as Popper.js.
A tooltip component is a quintessential way of replacing anchor tag title attribute.
Generically, the Popover is almost similar to tooltips; it is a simple pop-up box that manifests when a user clicks on an element. The only difference is that the Popover contains much more content than a tooltip.
Before we go any further, I want to tell you something straight install the new React application. If already installed, then skip it.
npx create-react-app react-tooltip-popover-example
BashCopy
Before i jump into the details, please head over to the project root.
cd react-tooltip-popover-example
BashCopy
Start the application:
npm start
#react
