Is it possible to render HTML in Vaadin Tooltip component?


Vaadin 23.3.2

I have an icon with a tooltip. Within the tooltip text I want to have some line breaks or put in a HTML link. How can I achieve this?

There used to be a setDescription where you could put in HTML in older versions but that seems to be gone.


Solution

  • Not at the moment. There is a ticket about adding rich content or formatting support: https://github.com/vaadin/web-components/issues/4976, and another one proposing markdown support for Vaadin components in general: https://github.com/vaadin/flow-components/issues/3551.

    Support for interactive content like links will not be added to the tooltip for technical, incl. accessibility, reasons. This would instead require a different type of pop-up: a popover or toggletip, as proposed here: https://github.com/vaadin/web-components/issues/5328.
