Measured entry
tripled-animated-tooltip-shadcnui
tooltipminimal-flatmotion on file
A client-side React tooltip shipped as a shadcn registry component. It uses Framer Motion for the trigger and popup transitions, Lucide React for the icon, and Tailwind utilities plus project theme variables for styling. Its state is local, and it opens only from pointer hover.

Verdict
A tidy demo that builds and mounts cleanly, but it is a starting point rather than a production tooltip. The hover-only behavior lacks focus and touch support, and the measured contrast issue needs correction. Choose it when the motion treatment matters and accessibility work is budgeted.
Use it if
- You need a compact animated hint for a pointer-first desktop interface.
- Your project already uses Framer Motion, Lucide React, Tailwind utilities, and compatible theme variables.
- You can add keyboard, touch, and accessible tooltip semantics before production use.
Skip it if
- You need a keyboard, touch, or screen-reader-ready tooltip without reworking its interactions.
- You need collision detection, portal rendering, or automatic placement near viewport edges.
- You want to avoid the substantial dependency overhead introduced by the animation stack.
- Your theme cannot guarantee sufficient text contrast against the configured accent color.
Install
| Declared dependencies | framer-motion, lucide-react, react, radix-ui |
|---|---|
| Missing on install | none |
| Bare install | builds and mounts without the shadcn-style helpers |
| Provider | no provider required in the harness |
In a non-shadcn project, add React, Framer Motion, and Lucide React, configure Tailwind for the utility classes, and define the accent, card, foreground, and muted foreground theme values. Add focus, touch, and tooltip semantics. The registry declares a button dependency, though this source file does not import it. A registry installer may therefore also resolve the related Radix UI setup, while a direct copy does not require it.
