Demo

Provide context, guidance, feedback, and other helpful information with the InformationOverlay component. The InformationOverlay.Trigger slot is optional — when omitted, a default trigger icon is rendered. See Usage for best practices, including content guidelines.

Add trigger text

Apart from using the default trigger with only an icon, it's possible to specify additional text for the trigger.

Change trigger icon

Use the InformationOverlay.Trigger slot to customize the icon for the trigger. Wrap the desired icon inside the InformationOverlay.Icon slot component.

Change color

Use the color prop to set the color according to the type of information. Changing the color also affects the displayed icon.

Change overlay placement

Use the placement prop to set the preferred position for the overlay if there is enough space. If the preferred position is not possible, the overlay will be positioned according to the available space.

Open overlay by default

Use the defaultOpen prop to set the overlay to open in uncontrolled scenarios.

Add aria-label

Use the aria-label prop on the Trigger to set a specific aria-label on the trigger button. If the trigger is just an icon without a text label, add an aria-label to help users understand the meaning and functionality.
