React Bootstrap hide tooltip

Question

Is there a way to hide the OverlayTrigger/Tooltip element by default? eg. overlay={this.state.show ? <Tooltip>showing</Tooltip> : null} works but throws a warning on console:

The prop overlay is marked as required in OverlayTrigger, but its value is null

Would this be the only way?

{!this.state.show ? {component} :
 <OverlayTrigger ...>
   {component}
 </OverlayTrigger>
}

Answer 1

The OverlayTrigger component must have a overlay prop passed. If you don't want the tooltip, you also don't want an overlay to trigger. Hence, you'd want to remove it if this.state.show is falsy.

{this.state.show 
  ? <OverlayTrigger overlay={<Tooltip>showing</Tooltip>}>
      <button>Click me!</button>
    </OverlayTrigger>
  : <button>Click me!</button>
}

Edit: Yes, the code in your update would be the way to do it.

This worked for me, shows only when boolean is true.

<OverlayTrigger
  overlay={
    boolean ? (
      <Tooltip id={`tooltip`}>important message for user</Tooltip>
    ) : (
      <span></span>
    )
  }
>
{children}
</OverlayTrigger>
