## Usage

Get this component from a [saved library export](/docs/export) or the [connected CLI](/docs/agents). The imports below refer to local files installed in your app.

Import `styles/components.css`, then `styles/theme.css` once. Wrap your app in `ThemeScope` from `components/ui/utils` so typography, focus and overlays share the theme. The [installation guide](/docs/export) covers runtime dependencies and React/Next.js setup.

```tsx
import { Tooltip } from './components/ui/tooltip';

<Tooltip trigger="Save" content="Save your changes to this library"/>
```

## Design system

This component consumes your semantic colors, spacing, typography and shape tokens. Import the compiled styles and your theme once as described in [Export](/docs/export).

## Behavior and accessibility

- Provide meaningful labels for interactive controls.
- Connect action callbacks to your application logic.
- Verify keyboard navigation and contrast in your application.

Status: **experimental** during early access. Sample previews do not send emails, process payments or upload files to a service.

## Source and props

This is the exported source, using the same implementation as the editor.

```tsx
"use client";
import { Tooltip as Base } from "@base-ui/react/tooltip";
import type { ComponentProps, ReactNode } from "react";
import { usePortalContainer } from "./utils";
export function Tooltip({
  trigger,
  triggerRender,
  content,
  side = "top",
  align = "center",
  delay,
  ...rootProps
}: Omit<ComponentProps<typeof Base.Root>, "children"> & {
  trigger?: ReactNode;
  triggerRender?: ComponentProps<typeof Base.Trigger>["render"];
  content: ReactNode;
  side?: ComponentProps<typeof Base.Positioner>["side"];
  align?: ComponentProps<typeof Base.Positioner>["align"];
  delay?: ComponentProps<typeof Base.Provider>["delay"];
}) {
  const container = usePortalContainer();
  return (
    <Base.Provider delay={delay}>
      <Base.Root {...rootProps}>
        <Base.Trigger
          render={triggerRender}
