Tooltip on Hover
Learn more about tooltips
Tooltips are text labels or text boxes with a title attribute that appear when a user hovers, focuses on, or clicks an element. The purpose of the tooltip is to give users more information about what a feature is or how to use it in your app or website.
Tooltips do not have HTML inputs but typically just have HTML elements such as text, buttons and or images. They are a great way to provide information to users, while still keeping your designs clean, as they only appear when a user needs to information.
How to create a tooltip on hover in Framer
To create this interaction in Framer you will need to install the Switch package from the Insert Menu. The Switch package allows you to create state-based interactions, so you will be able to make things happen based on the state of an element in the preview window. You will need one screen made with the Frame tool and then you will need to design the button and the actual tooltip and an empty state, which will also start with frames.
The Switch package has two components, Switch and SwitchToStateAction. Place them both on your main screen and connect SwitchToStateAction to your button and connect Switch to the tooltip and the tooltip empty state.
