Function: Tooltip() ​

ts
function Tooltip(__namedParameters): Element;

Defined in: packages/sdk/src/Tooltip.tsx:35

Lightweight tooltip — wraps any trigger element and shows a styled popup above it after a 600 ms hover delay. Renders via a portal so overflow: hidden parents and stacking contexts never clip it.

The popup uses the host's design tokens and matches the status-bar tooltip style exactly. Display-only: pointer-events: none.

The CSS classes (.silo-tooltip, .silo-tooltip-host) are provided by the host — no stylesheet import is needed in the extension.

Pass disabled to keep the trigger wrapper mounted (so layout stays stable) while suppressing the popup — handy when the tooltip is only useful conditionally, e.g. showing the full label of a tab only once it's truncated.

Parameters ​

__namedParameters ​

content ​

string

Text shown in the popup.

children ​

ReactNode

The trigger element the tooltip is anchored to.

disabled? ​

boolean = false

When true, the wrapper still renders (layout is unchanged) but the popup never appears. Defaults to false.

Returns ​

Element

tsx
<Tooltip content="New File">
  <button onClick={createFile}>
