Tooltip

Tooltips are floating labels that briefly explain the function of a user interface element. They must be specified inside the overlay prop of an activator component. Currently, activator components are Button, Link, and Pressable.

The library takes care of applying the WAI-ARIA Tooltip Widget pattern automatically for the activator and the tooltip content. Expect screen readers to read the tooltip content when the user focuses the activator.
