# Tooltip

Hover and focus tooltip.

Use Tooltip for a short explanation of a control whose visible label cannot carry enough context.

## API

The package declarations define these public members.

### Inherited prop contracts

- `Common` — This shared prop contract also applies.

| Member | Type | Kind | Required | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `content` | `string \| Snippet` | snippet | Yes | - | Tooltip copy — a plain string renders as text, a Snippet renders inline markup. |
| `disabled` | `boolean` | prop | No | `false` | Suppresses the panel entirely while keeping the trigger interactive. |
| `openDelay` | `number` | prop | No | `300` | Milliseconds the pointer must rest before the panel opens. |
| `side` | `Side` | prop | No | `'top'` | Preferred placement; flips automatically when it would overflow. |
| `trigger` | `Snippet \| Snippet<[Record<string, unknown>]> \| never` | snippet | No | `undefined` | The described element. Pair it with `triggerMode` to select the migration strategy. |
| `triggerIcon` | `IconGlyph \| never` | prop | No | `undefined` | Convenience trigger: renders a ghost icon-only Button with this glyph. |
| `triggerMode` | `'delegated' \| 'legacy' \| never` | prop | No | `undefined` | Required with `trigger`. `delegated` passes props to the control; `legacy` preserves the deprecated wrapper. |
