About the Project

This library contains React Bootstrap 4 components that favor composition and control. The library does not depend on jQuery or Bootstrap javascript. However, Poppers.js via react-popper is relied upon for advanced positioning of content like Tooltips, Popovers, and auto-flipping Dropdowns.

There are a few core concepts to understand in order to make the most out of this library.

1. Your content is expected to be composed via props.children rather than using named props to pass in Components.

   // Content passed in via props
   const Example = (props) => {
     return (
       <p>This is a tooltip <TooltipTrigger tooltip={TooltipContent}>example</TooltipTrigger>!</p>
     );
   }
   
   // Content passed in as children (Preferred)
   const PreferredExample = (props) => {
     return (
       <p>
         This is a <a href="#" id="TooltipExample">tooltip</a> example.
         <Tooltip target="TooltipExample">
           <TooltipContent/>
         </Tooltip>
       </p>
     );
   }

2. Attributes in this library are used to pass in state, conveniently apply modifier classes, enable advanced functionality (like tether), or automatically include non-content based elements.

   Examples:

   • isOpen - current state for items like dropdown, popover, tooltip
   • toggle - callback for toggling isOpen in the controlling component
   • color - applies color classes, ex: <Button color="danger"/>
   • size - for controlling size classes. ex: <Button size="sm"/>
   • tag - customize component output by passing in an element name or Component
   • boolean based props (attributes) when possible for alternative style classes or sr-only content
