# Tooltip

Works with or without a TooltipProvider above; an app-level one sets the delay for all.

## Install

```bash
npx candor-ui add tooltip
```

Run `npx candor-ui@latest init` once first (https://candor.themethodic.com/get-started.md). Without the CLI: `npx shadcn@latest add @candor/tooltip`.
It brings in: render-prop, utils.
npm packages: radix-ui@^1.8.1.

## Example

```tsx
"use client"

import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"
import { Tooltip, TooltipContent, TooltipTrigger } from "@/components/ui/tooltip"

export default function Example() {
  return (
    <Tooltip>
      <TooltipTrigger asChild>
        <Button variant="outline">Retry step</Button>
      </TooltipTrigger>
      <TooltipContent>Runs the failed step again with the same input.</TooltipContent>
    </Tooltip>
  )
}
```

## <Tooltip>

## <TooltipTrigger>

No props.

Also takes the props of `React.ComponentProps<typeof TooltipPrimitive.Trigger>`, `RenderProp`.

## <TooltipContent>

No props.

Also takes the props of `React.ComponentProps<typeof TooltipPrimitive.Content>`.

## <TooltipProvider>

No props.

Also takes the props of `React.ComponentProps<typeof TooltipPrimitive.Provider>`.

## Rules for using Candor UI

- Components take plain typed data. Never pass model output as HTML or render it as a link; messages are typed blocks.
- A control that can't be used says why: wrap it in `<Locked reason="…">`, don't just disable it.
- Don't show a value you don't have: leave it out (it renders as —) rather than guess. An estimate is labelled as one.
- Nothing is pre-selected in a decision a person makes, and the agent is named from your app's data, never from model output.
- Your app's words go in `LocaleProvider` (fixed strings) and `TermsProvider` (nouns); entity kinds and agent roles in `EntityKindsProvider` and `AgentRolesProvider`.
