      Types

      Import the component props and item types when preparing your own values.

      import type { TooltipProps } from '@ifhover/leaf-ui';

      Usage notes

      Hover and keyboard focus both open the tooltip; Escape closes it. Existing events, refs and aria-describedby are preserved. Disabled buttons cannot receive focus; use a focusable span wrapper when needed. Use tooltips for explanatory text and a Dropdown or dialog for interactive actions.
