dsTooltip

feedback

since 0.1.0

View modifier that shows a short label next to a view while the pointer hovers it (macOS, iPadOS with a pointer, visionOS).

iOS 17+macOS 14+watchOS 10+tvOS 17+visionOS 1+

Purpose

Explain icon buttons, abbreviations and non-obvious UI elements without cluttering the layout. Hover-only: on touch-only devices it never appears, so keep the information reachable another way (e.g. an accessibilityLabel).

Interactive Reference

Live showroom

Need the full visual surface?

Screenshots do not scale well across every component, state, and variant. For the real interactive reference, import the package and launch DSShowcaseRoot().

Best for exploring:

variants, states, categories, and real app examples in one place.

Props

textreq	String	—	Tooltip text (first, unlabeled argument).
