Feature: ReactTooltip.show()

[jcalfee]

I have an important tooltip that I want to show programmatically. I could then set a timeout and ReactTooltip.hide() it .. Best if the hover would prevent it from being hidden.

Do you have an example for this? Should I try to capture an event and pass it to ReactTooltip.showTooltip (e) ?

Now the react-tooltip doesn't support show programmatically, let me do some develop next.

In addition to that, it would be nice if we could choose the way it's triggered - on hover, click or event.

Thanks @Sly777
v0.9.0 start to support customer event
<ReactTooltip event='click' /> or <a data-event='click' data-tip='tooltip'></a>

Did this fix the original issue with ReactTooltip.show()? It seems like the .show() method is still missing to me.

[wwayne]

I didn't build the .show method, instead there have custom event to trigger tooltip to show up.

Thanks for confirming.

how can I trigger custom event?

For example:

<a data-event='specialhat' data-tip='tooltip'></a>

How to trigger such event?

[wwayne]

Behind data-event='event' is document.addEventListener('event', () => {...}, false), so it only support those HTML DOM event like click, doubleClick, etc... so react tooltip can't trigger your custom event specialhat

ah I see. so in case I want to display error tool tip when user input invalid data, what's the best way to trigger it in this case?

It can not be 'click', because it's an input type text. users click it at the beginning.

@craigcosmo Looks there's no way to satisfy your requirement at the moment, you may need a static method like ReactTooltip.show('tooltipId'), I don't know when I have time to build such function..

@craigcosmo : Were you able to implement show method? Just wanted to check before i give it a try.
@wwayne : Is this something which is still in your radar?
