Change header tooltip arrow direction in DataTable

branhami2 · May 31, 2024, 1:22pm

Looking through the documentation on the Dash DataTable tooltips, I don’t see a way to alter which direction the tooltip pops up from. I want to be able to have the tooltip show above the column header on hover instead of the default below.

I looked through the source code and noticed that there are options for different arrow directions, but I don’t see how that is exposed in the Dash component.

          import * as R from 'ramda';

          import {Remarkable} from 'remarkable';

          import {MAX_32BITS} from 'dash-table/derived/table/tooltip';
          import {TooltipSyntax} from 'dash-table/tooltips/props';
          
          export enum Arrow {
              Bottom = 'bottom',
              Left = 'left',
              Right = 'right',
              Top = 'top'
          }
          
          export interface ITooltipProps {
              arrow?: Arrow;
              className?: string;
              tooltip: {
