Loading ...

Before You Begin

npm create vite@latest my-app -- --template react

This guide requires that you have basic knowledge of React and TypeScript, and that you have already created a blank React project.

You can speed up the development of your KendoReact application with the Kendo UI Template Wizard for Visual Studio Code.

Install the Component

npm i @progress/kendo-react-tooltip @progress/kendo-theme-default

Run these commands in the root of your React project to install the KendoReact Tooltip package and its dependencies, and the Kendo UI Default theme.

Import the Component

After installing the Tooltips npm package, import the desired components in the React App. This guide shows how to add the Tooltip.

In the App component file of your React project (for example, src/App.tsx), add the following code:

tsx

// ES2015 module syntax
import { Tooltip } from '@progress/kendo-react-tooltip';

tsx

// CommonJS format
const { Tooltip } = require('@progress/kendo-react-tooltip');

Use the Component

After installing the Tooltips package and importing the components, add a Button and the Tooltip tags to the App component file of your React project (for example, src/App.js).
tsx
```
<Tooltip anchorElement="target" position="bottom">
    <Button title="Saves the current document">Save</Button>
</Tooltip>
```
Build and run the application by typing the following command in the root folder of your project:
sh
```
npm start
```
Navigate to http://localhost:3000 to see the KendoReact Tooltip component on the page.

Style the Components
