CSS variables

Vue toltips use local CSS variables on .tooltip for enhanced real-time customization. Values for the CSS variables are set via Sass, so Sass customization is still supported, too.

scss

$tooltip-tokens: defaults(
  (
    --cui-tooltip-zindex: var(--cui-z-tooltip),
    --cui-tooltip-max-width: 200px,
    --cui-tooltip-padding-x: calc(var(--cui-spacer) * .75),
    --cui-tooltip-padding-y: calc(var(--cui-spacer) * .375),
    --cui-tooltip-font-size: var(--cui-font-size-sm),
    --cui-tooltip-color: #{$tooltip-color},
    --cui-tooltip-bg: var(--cui-fg-body),
    --cui-tooltip-border-radius: var(--cui-radius-5),
    --cui-tooltip-opacity: .95,
    --cui-tooltip-arrow-width: .8rem,
    --cui-tooltip-arrow-height: .4rem,
    --cui-tooltip-transition-property: opacity,
    --cui-tooltip-transition-duration: .15s,
    --cui-tooltip-transition-timing: linear,
  ),
  $tooltip-tokens
);

How to use CSS variables

<template>
  <CTooltip :style="vars">...</CTooltip>
</template>

<script setup>
const vars = {
  '--cui-tooltip-color': '#333',
  '--cui-tooltip-bg': '#f8f9fa',
}
</script>

Sass variables

Deprecated in v6.0.0

Sass variables set these defaults at build time and are removed in v7. The CSS variables above reach the same values without recompiling, and can be set on a single element.

scss

$tooltip-color:                     var(--cui-bg-body) !default;
