Via AI Assistant#

Ask your AI assistant:

  • "Use the tooltips pattern from Bootspring"
  • "Apply the Bootspring tooltips pattern to my project"

Key Considerations#

  • Use tooltips only for supplementary information, not essential content
  • Keep tooltip content brief and scannable at a glance
  • Set appropriate hover delays (200-400ms) to prevent accidental triggers
  • Use popovers instead of tooltips when content requires user interaction
  • Tooltips do not work well on touch devices; consider alternative patterns for mobile
