Package Exports

react-path-tooltip

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (react-path-tooltip) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

react-path-tooltop

A simple yet beautiful react tooltip component for SVG-Paths. The component detects the SVG and Path locations/sizes. The component also detects the display text width of the tooltip. Based on that information a calculation is done so that the rendering of the tooltip will be optimized and correctly oriented.

Note: In SVG, the rendering order is based on the document order. I.e. the first elements in the SVG document fragment getting "painted" first. Subsequent elements are painted on top of previously painted elements. To avoid issues with path elements rendered on top of tooltips, please place all tooltips below all content path elements.

Install

In order to install, run the following command:

$ npm install react-path-tooltip --save

Usage

A very simple `App.tsx' example:

import React from "react"
import "./App.css"
import { PathTooltip } from "ReactPathTooltip" // import the package

function App() {

  const svgRef = React.createRef<SVGSVGElement>()
  const pathRef = React.createRef<SVGCircleElement>()

  return (
    < div className="App" >
      < div className="Main">
        <svg width="400" height="400" ref={svgRef}>
          <circle cx={50} cy={50} r={50} fill="red" ref={pathRef} />
          <PathTooltip svgRef={svgRef} pathRef={pathRef} tip="Hello World!" />
        </svg>
      </div>
    </div>
  )
}

export default App

Customization

The following parameters are passed to the tooltip component:

Prop	Type	Description
tip	string	Mandatory. The text to be displayed inside the tooltip
svgRef	React.RefObject	Mandatory. A React reference object to the SVG element
pathRef	React.RefObject	Mandatory. A React reference object to the path element bounded to the tooltip
bgColor	string	Optional. Background color. Default: "black"
textColor	string	Optional. Text color. Default: "white"
fontFamily	string	Optional. The font family. Default: san-serif
fontSize	number	Optional. The font size. Default 12

Notes:

tip must include simple text. No new lines, or html decoration.
pathRef must be a valid reference to a path element. There are a number of such types such as SVGRectElement, SVGCircleElement, etc.
The SVG rendering should be such that all the tooltip elelments are at the bottom of the SVG definition, and specifically, after the path elements. Otherwise, there is a risk of paths overlaping tooltips.
