feature: Provide 'Always show tooltip' option

[drewproud]

It's a nice looking tooltip - it'd be great to have the option to always show it.

IMHO, this feature will break the current design. I am not going to implement it, until it is proved to be a useful use case.

[drewproud]

Maybe I missed testing some use cases, but I created a working fork for use in my project that implements this functionality. It might not be necessary given #63, but I created a PR anyway.

[benjycui]

I am sorry to close. If there are more evidences which can prove this feature is necessary, just re-open it.

Useful case is for user to always know current values. Would be nice for this component to be flexible enough to allow such control.

[benjycui]

How about something like this: http://ant.design/components/slider/#demo-input-number . Just show value in an input / a label, if you want to show value all the time.

IMO, Tooltip is just used to show more information when users are really interested in, e.g. hover means I care about it.

I can't show the designs for now (confidential) but I got a design where the slider's handle needs to have a persistent representation of the current selected value. I doesn't look anything like your tooltip but that's easily editable via CSS.

Everything works beautifully, besides for the fact that nothing shows when you first load the page.

I understand that if you only think about it as a tooltip, it makes little sense to show all the time, but if you think about it instead as a configurable UI element that show the currently selected value and follows the slider handle, then the option to show it all the time makes sense.

Thank you for such a great plug in! But I'm going to have to look at the fork mentioned above in order to use it as I need it to work, which is a bit of a bummer…

@drewproud I just wanted to let you know that after starting to do that myself, I realized that you had already done it… And I wanted to thank you for your work (as well as @benjycui of course!)

I couldn't find anyway to contact you and your site is not loading for me right now so… Thanks!

I hope you keep your fork active, it's a really useful feature addition, and in case anyone stumbles upon this post, I thought I make it easy for them to find the fork with the "alway show tooltip" feature addition. It's right there: https://www.npmjs.com/package/rc-slider-fork

[drewproud]

@minimaldesign glad to hear it's helpful for you folks! I'm happy to make you a maintainer on the fork if you'd like.

Hello

Thank for this great rc-slider

I also want the ability to always show the tooltip to display current values to user.

Would be great to have a props to enable it.

[benjycui]

Try http://react-component.github.io/slider/examples/custom-handles.html

[lauterry]

@benjycui

Ho great !

[siddhant91]

custom-handles.html is not present in example anymore. I would like to show the tooltip always for createSliderWithTooltip(Slider.Range);

Is there a way to do the custom implementation of this

[benjycui]

Demo about how to customize handle: http://react-component.github.io/slider/examples/handle.html

That last example only shows tooltips on hover. Where is example to show tooltip always?

[mikdatdogru]

this is working example. actually not exactly :)
https://codesandbox.io/s/zn908z99yx

but if something expand down on the component, the tooltip stays up. When I mouse over it, Tooltip positions are update.

[stevepeart]

@mikdatdogru 's response works, aside from the push down issue, you could potentially force an update of the slider when the boxes expand above it, pretty sure that could make the tooltips re-draw.

I had already just modified the css to make the tooltips always show, but they wouldn't show on load until you interacted with the slider, adding the tipProps with the visible: true part made it show up on load for me.
