Notes

Tooltip is a function that can be applied to components to showcase a description of that component. Hovering over the component that has Tooltip applied to it will activate the description and shows it on the screen. Tooltip allows any length of text, but it should preferably be used for short descriptive text.

Usage

Tooltip is used normally for componenets that may require more clarification. It can be applied to Icons or other components and also has multiple position options being; left, right, top, or bottom (default). The short description will appear according to the value of the position prop.
