TooltipConfig

Since v1.28.0

Configuration for the Tooltip plugin.

Example

// Enable both header and cell tooltips (default)
new TooltipPlugin()

// Header tooltips only
new TooltipPlugin({ cell: false })

// Disable all tooltips temporarily
new TooltipPlugin({ header: false, cell: false })

Properties

Property	Type	Description
header?	boolean	Enable automatic header tooltips when text overflows. Individual columns can override with headerTooltip.
cell?	boolean	Enable automatic cell tooltips when text overflows. Individual columns can override with cellTooltip.
focus?	boolean	Show the tooltip for the focused cell during keyboard navigation, so truncated content is reachable without a pointer — WCAG 2.2 SC 1.4.13 Content on Hover or Focus. v3.6.0+
hideDelay?	number	Grace period in milliseconds before a tooltip hides once the pointer leaves its cell. Gives the pointer time to travel onto the tooltip itself, which SC 1.4.13 requires so its content can be read, magnified, or selected. Set to 0 to hide immediately. v3.6.0+

Property Details

header

Default: true

---

cell

Default: true

---

focus

Show the tooltip for the focused cell during keyboard navigation, so truncated content is reachable without a pointer — WCAG 2.2 SC 1.4.13 Content on Hover or Focus.

Only keyboard navigation triggers this; clicking a cell with a pointer never does, so mouse users see no change. Set to false to opt out — note that doing so forfeits the SC 1.4.13 “focus” path.

Default: true

hideDelay

Default: 120
