CSS variables#

React Tooltip supports CSS variables for easy customization. These variables are set via SASS but allow direct overrides in your stylesheets or inline styles.

--cui-tooltip-zindex: #{$zindex-tooltip};
--cui-tooltip-max-width: #{$tooltip-max-width};
--cui-tooltip-padding-x: #{$tooltip-padding-x};
--cui-tooltip-padding-y: #{$tooltip-padding-y};
--cui-tooltip-margin: #{$tooltip-margin};
@include rfs($tooltip-font-size, --cui-tooltip-font-size);
--cui-tooltip-color: #{$tooltip-color};
--cui-tooltip-bg: #{$tooltip-bg};
--cui-tooltip-border-radius: #{$tooltip-border-radius};
--cui-tooltip-opacity: #{$tooltip-opacity};
--cui-tooltip-arrow-width: #{$tooltip-arrow-width};
--cui-tooltip-arrow-height: #{$tooltip-arrow-height};

How to use CSS variables#

const customVars = {
  '--cui-tooltip-color': '#888',
  '--cui-tooltip-bg': '#f2f4f6',
}

return <CTooltip style={customVars}>{/* Tooltip content */}</CTooltip>
