Measured entry

neobrutalism-tooltip

tooltipbrutalism

A React client-side wrapper around Radix Tooltip primitives, shipped as a shadcn registry component rather than a standalone package. It depends on Radix Tooltip, a project-local cn utility, Tailwind animation utilities, and the neobrutalism theme tokens used by its class names.

Verdict

A solid fit for an existing neobrutalism shadcn codebase, with Radix handling the difficult interaction details. It does not mount bare and needs a shadcn-style setup, so it is a poor drop-in choice for an unrelated React stack.

Use it if

  • You already use shadcn conventions and want a tooltip styled to match a neobrutalist interface.
  • You want Radix-managed trigger, portal, positioning, keyboard, and screen-reader behavior behind a small local wrapper.
  • You are comfortable owning and adapting copied component source inside the application.

Skip it if

  • Your project does not use Tailwind or cannot provide the custom theme and animation classes this source expects.
  • You need a dependency-free tooltip or want to avoid adding Radix for a small interaction.
  • Your design system does not use shadcn-style source ownership, path aliases, or a shared class-merging helper.

Install

Bare installfails once the shadcn-style helpers are removed, so it needs that setup
Providerno provider required in the harness

A non-shadcn project must install Radix Tooltip, add or replace the cn class-merging utility and its import alias, configure Tailwind with the referenced theme tokens and animation utilities, and place the component behind a client boundary where the framework requires one.
