Tooltip

Tooltip is a component in Miuix that briefly describes an anchor element. Following Material 3, a single TooltipBox anchors a tooltip to its content; you fill its tooltip slot with a PlainTooltip (a short inverse-surface label) or a RichTooltip (a surface-container card with an optional title and action). Tooltips are shown on hover (mouse) or long press (touch), or programmatically via TooltipState.

Import

import top.yukonga.miuix.kmp.basic.TooltipBox
import top.yukonga.miuix.kmp.basic.RichTooltipBox
import top.yukonga.miuix.kmp.basic.PlainTooltip
import top.yukonga.miuix.kmp.basic.RichTooltip
import top.yukonga.miuix.kmp.basic.TooltipState
import top.yukonga.miuix.kmp.basic.rememberTooltipState
import top.yukonga.miuix.kmp.basic.TooltipDefaults
import top.yukonga.miuix.kmp.basic.TooltipAnchorPosition

Basic Usage

The quickest way to label an icon-only control is the text convenience overload of TooltipBox:

TooltipBox(text = "Search") {
    IconButton(onClick = { /* ... */ }) {
        Icon(
            imageVector = MiuixIcons.Basic.Search,
            contentDescription = "Search",
        )
    }
}

TooltipBox

TooltipBox anchors a tooltip to its content. Its tooltip slot is a TooltipScope lambda, filled with PlainTooltip or RichTooltip.

@Composable
fun TooltipBox(
    positionProvider: PopupPositionProvider,
    tooltip: @Composable TooltipScope.() -> Unit,
    state: TooltipState,
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
    focusable: Boolean = false,
    enableUserInput: Boolean = true,
    content: @Composable () -> Unit,
)

Parameter Name	Type	Description	Default Value	Required
positionProvider	PopupPositionProvider	Positions the tooltip; see TooltipDefaults.rememberTooltipPositionProvider	-	Yes
tooltip	@Composable TooltipScope.() -> Unit	The tooltip content (PlainTooltip / RichTooltip)	-	Yes
state	TooltipState	State controlling visibility	-	Yes
modifier	Modifier	Modifier applied to the anchor wrapper	Modifier	No
focusable	Boolean	Whether the tooltip is focusable (true for interactive rich tooltips)	false	No
enableUserInput	Boolean	Whether hover / long press on the anchor shows the tooltip	true	No
content	@Composable () -> Unit	The anchor content	-	Yes

TooltipBox(
    positionProvider = TooltipDefaults.rememberTooltipPositionProvider(),
    tooltip = { PlainTooltip { Text("Add to favorites") } },
    state = rememberTooltipState(),
) {
    IconButton(onClick = { /* ... */ }) {
        Icon(imageVector = MiuixIcons.Basic.Check, contentDescription = "Add to favorites")
    }
}

PlainTooltip

PlainTooltip is a short, non-interactive label rendered on the Miuix inverse surface. It is a TooltipScope extension, so it is used inside the TooltipBox tooltip slot.

@Composable
fun TooltipScope.PlainTooltip(
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
    caretShape: Shape? = null,
    maxWidth: Dp = TooltipDefaults.PlainTooltipMaxWidth,
    cornerRadius: Dp = TooltipDefaults.PlainTooltipCornerRadius,
    containerColor: Color = TooltipDefaults.plainTooltipContainerColor,
    contentColor: Color = TooltipDefaults.plainTooltipContentColor,
    insideMargin: PaddingValues = TooltipDefaults.PlainTooltipInsideMargin,
    content: @Composable () -> Unit,
)

By default the plain tooltip uses an inverse surface tone (a dark bubble in light theme, a light bubble in dark theme). Pass caretShape = TooltipDefaults.caretShape() to draw a caret pointing at the anchor; the default is caret-less.

RichTooltip

RichTooltip is a persistent, interactive card with an optional title and action, rendered on a normal surfaceContainer. It is a TooltipScope extension.

@Composable
fun TooltipScope.RichTooltip(
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
    title: (@Composable () -> Unit)? = null,
    action: (@Composable () -> Unit)? = null,
    caretShape: Shape? = null,
    maxWidth: Dp = TooltipDefaults.RichTooltipMaxWidth,
    cornerRadius: Dp = TooltipDefaults.RichTooltipCornerRadius,
    colors: RichTooltipColors = TooltipDefaults.richTooltipColors(),
    insideMargin: PaddingValues = TooltipDefaults.RichTooltipInsideMargin,
    text: @Composable () -> Unit,
)

A rich tooltip is interactive, so set focusable = true on the TooltipBox (the convenience RichTooltipBox does this for you) so an outside tap dismisses it and its action is reachable.

val tooltipState = rememberTooltipState(isPersistent = true)
val scope = rememberCoroutineScope()

TooltipBox(
    positionProvider = TooltipDefaults.rememberTooltipPositionProvider(),
    tooltip = {
        RichTooltip(
            title = { Text("What's new") },
            action = {
                TextButton(text = "Got it", onClick = { tooltipState.dismiss() })
            },
        ) {
            Text("Rich tooltips support a title, supporting text, and an action.")
        }
    },
    state = tooltipState,
    focusable = true,
) {
    IconButton(onClick = { scope.launch { tooltipState.show() } }) {
        Icon(imageVector = MiuixIcons.Basic.Check, contentDescription = "What's new")
    }
}

TooltipState

TooltipState controls the tooltip's visibility. A global MutatorMutex keeps only one tooltip visible at a time.

@Stable
interface TooltipState {
    val transition: MutableTransitionState<Boolean>
    val isVisible: Boolean
    val isPersistent: Boolean
    suspend fun show(mutatePriority: MutatePriority = MutatePriority.Default)
    fun dismiss()
    fun onDispose()
}

@Composable
fun rememberTooltipState(
    initialIsVisible: Boolean = false,
    isPersistent: Boolean = false,
    mutatorMutex: MutatorMutex = BasicTooltipDefaults.GlobalMutatorMutex,
): TooltipState

Parameter Name	Type	Description	Default Value	Required
initialIsVisible	Boolean	Whether the tooltip is initially visible	false	No
isPersistent	Boolean	Whether the tooltip stays visible until dismissed	false	No
mutatorMutex	MutatorMutex	Mutex ensuring only one tooltip shows at a time	BasicTooltipDefaults.GlobalMutatorMutex	No

When isPersistent is false (plain tooltips), the tooltip is dismissed automatically after a short timeout. When true (rich tooltips), it stays until dismiss(), an outside tap, or a back press. show() is a suspend function, so call it from a coroutine (e.g. scope.launch { state.show() }).

TooltipDefaults

TooltipDefaults provides position providers, colors, the caret, and dimension constants.

Position provider

@Composable
fun TooltipDefaults.rememberTooltipPositionProvider(
    positioning: TooltipAnchorPosition = TooltipAnchorPosition.Below,
    spacingBetweenTooltipAndAnchor: Dp = TooltipDefaults.SpacingBetweenTooltipAndAnchor,
): PopupPositionProvider

TooltipAnchorPosition selects the preferred side: Above, Below, Left, Right, Start, End. The tooltip is centered on the cross axis and flips to the opposite side when there is not enough room.

Colors

// Plain tooltip (inverse surface)
val plainContainer = TooltipDefaults.plainTooltipContainerColor   // onSecondaryVariant
val plainContent = TooltipDefaults.plainTooltipContentColor       // secondaryVariant

// Rich tooltip (surface container)
val richColors = TooltipDefaults.richTooltipColors(
    containerColor = MiuixTheme.colorScheme.surfaceContainer,
    contentColor = MiuixTheme.colorScheme.onSurfaceContainerVariant,
    titleContentColor = MiuixTheme.colorScheme.onSurfaceContainer,
    actionContentColor = MiuixTheme.colorScheme.primary,
)

RichTooltipColors is a data class of containerColor, contentColor, titleContentColor, and actionContentColor.

Caret

fun TooltipDefaults.caretShape(): Shape
val TooltipDefaults.caretSize: DpSize // 16 x 8 dp

Pass caretShape = TooltipDefaults.caretShape() to PlainTooltip / RichTooltip to draw a caret pointing at the anchor (for Above / Below positioning). The default is caret-less, matching the rest of Miuix's floating surfaces.

Constants

Constant Name	Type	Description	Default Value
SpacingBetweenTooltipAndAnchor	Dp	Spacing between a tooltip and its anchor	8.dp
PlainTooltipMaxWidth	Dp	Maximum width of a plain tooltip	200.dp
PlainTooltipCornerRadius	Dp	Corner radius of a plain tooltip	12.dp
PlainTooltipInsideMargin	PaddingValues	Inner padding of a plain tooltip	PaddingValues(horizontal = 12.dp, vertical = 8.dp)
RichTooltipMaxWidth	Dp	Maximum width of a rich tooltip	320.dp
RichTooltipCornerRadius	Dp	Corner radius of a rich tooltip	16.dp
RichTooltipInsideMargin	PaddingValues	Inner padding of a rich tooltip	PaddingValues(all = 16.dp)
RichTooltipActionCornerRadius	Dp	Corner radius of a rich tooltip action button	8.dp
RichTooltipActionInsideMargin	PaddingValues	Inner padding of a rich tooltip action button	PaddingValues(horizontal = 12.dp, vertical = 6.dp)
caretSize	DpSize	Size of the caret	DpSize(16.dp, 8.dp)

Convenience overloads

For the common cases you can skip the position provider and content composables.

Plain tooltip

@Composable
fun TooltipBox(
    text: String,
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
    state: TooltipState = rememberTooltipState(isPersistent = false),
    enabled: Boolean = true,
    positioning: TooltipAnchorPosition = TooltipAnchorPosition.Below,
    containerColor: Color = TooltipDefaults.plainTooltipContainerColor,
    contentColor: Color = TooltipDefaults.plainTooltipContentColor,
    content: @Composable () -> Unit,
)

Rich tooltip

@Composable
fun RichTooltipBox(
    text: String,
    modifier: Modifier = Modifier,
    state: TooltipState = rememberTooltipState(isPersistent = true),
    title: String? = null,
    actionText: String? = null,
    onActionClick: (() -> Unit)? = null,
    enabled: Boolean = true,
    positioning: TooltipAnchorPosition = TooltipAnchorPosition.Below,
    colors: RichTooltipColors = TooltipDefaults.richTooltipColors(),
    content: @Composable () -> Unit,
)

RichTooltipBox is persistent and focusable. Trigger it via long press / hover, or hoist state and call state.show() from the anchor's own click. The action invokes onActionClick then dismisses the tooltip.

val richState = rememberTooltipState(isPersistent = true)
val scope = rememberCoroutineScope()

RichTooltipBox(
    title = "Rich tooltip",
    text = "Rich tooltips support a title, supporting text, and an action.",
    actionText = "Got it",
    onActionClick = { /* ... */ },
    state = richState,
) {
    TextButton(
        text = "Show rich tooltip",
        onClick = { scope.launch { richState.show() } },
    )
}
