Creating a Tooltip-like Testimonial with Tailwind and Alpine.js

Live Demo / Download

Testimonials play a crucial role in digital marketing as they serve as social proof of product quality and customer satisfaction. However, a common issue with testimonials is that they often lack visual appeal. In a previous tutorial, we showed how to build a fancy testimonial slider using Tailwind CSS; now, we are doubling down, drawing inspiration from the cool shot by the Significa team. Breaking away from the ordinary, we will build an unconventional testimonial component that looks original while ensuring a good user experience.

Creating the HTML structure

We are going to create a section made of text and images of clients. On hovering over the image, a tooltip will appear with the endorsement message. To create this component, we will use Tailwind CSS and Alpine.js. Alternating text with images may seem simple, but it's trickier than one may think, especially when it comes to align the elements vertically without affecting the line-height of the text. To save time and focus on the functionality, we've prepared the basic HTML structure with the Tailwind CSS utility classes:

<section class="text-center">
    <div class="font-nycd text-xl text-indigo-500 mb-4">
        <span class="relative inline-flex">
            <span>Our promise</span>
            <svg class="fill-indigo-500 absolute bottom-0" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="132" height="4">

Currently, these tooltips are all visible - we will see later how to hide them with Alpine.js. Notice the strategic use of z-50, z-40, and z-30 classes to control the stacking order and prevent tooltips from being covered by underlying images.

Toggling tooltip visibility

Now, we need to integrate some JavaScript logic to handle tooltip visibility, so add an x-data attribute to the element containing the image:

<div class="relative inline-flex justify-center w-[52px] h-[52px] align-middle -translate-y-1 z-40" x-data="{ open: false }">

Within this directive, we have defined a open property initially set to false, indicating that the tooltip is initially hidden. Next, we want open to become true on hovering over the button, and false when the cursor exits the parent element. To do this, we'll add a @mouseover event to the button and @mouseover.outside to its wrapper:

<div class="relative inline-flex justify-center w-[52px] h-[52px] align-middle -translate-y-1 z-50" x-data="{ open: false }" @mouseover.outside="open = false">
    <button class="h-full w-full focus-visible:outline-none focus-visible:ring focus-visible:ring-indigo-300 rounded-[20px] rotate-[4deg] transition duration-200 ease-[cubic-bezier(.5,.85,.25,1.8)] delay-100" @mouseover="open = true">
        <img class="absolute top-1/2 -translate-y-1/2 rounded-[inherit]" src="./testimonial-01.jpg" width="52" height="52" alt="Testimonial 01">
    </button> ...

Lastly, we'll apply Alpine.js transition utilities for the fade-in/fade-out effect:

<div
    id="testimonial-01"
    role="tooltip"
    class="absolute top-full pt-5 [&[x-cloak]]:hidden"
    x-cloak
>
    <div
        class="relative w-80 after:absolute after:-top-1.5 after:left-1/2 after:-translate-x-1/2 after:h-3 after:w-3 after:rounded-tl-sm after:rotate-45 after:bg-slate-900"
        x-show="open"
        x-transition:enter="transition ease-[cubic-bezier(.5,.85,.25,1.8)] duration-200 delay-100"
        x-transition:enter-start="opacity-0 translate-y-2"
        x-transition:enter-end="opacity-100 translate-y-0"
        x-transition:leave="transition ease-[cubic-bezier(.5,.85,.25,1.8)] duration-100 delay-100"
        x-transition:leave-start="opacity-100"
        x-transition:leave-end="opacity-0"                               
    >
        <div class="relative bg-slate-900 p-5 rounded-3xl shadow-xl text-left text-sm text-slate-200 font-medium space-y-3">
            <svg class="fill-indigo-500" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="17" height="14" aria-hidden="true">

Great! Now, the tooltip is hidden by default and fades in - with a subtle vertical translation - when you hover over the image. Also, notice that we have used the x-cloak attribute to prevent the tooltip from briefly appearing before Alpine.js is fully loaded.

Handling keyboard navigation

If you've been following our previous tutorials, you know how important accessibility is to us. That's why, when it comes to implementing this component, we'll make sure that the content can be easily navigated using the keyboard by simply pressing the Tab key. So, let's complete the integration of the button with the addition of a focus event:

<button
    class="h-full w-full focus-visible:outline-none focus-visible:ring focus-visible:ring-indigo-300 rounded-[20px] rotate-[4deg] transition duration-200 ease-[cubic-bezier(.5,.85,.25,1.8)] delay-100"
    @mouseover="open = true"
    @focus="open = true"
>
    <img class="absolute top-1/2 -translate-y-1/2 rounded-[inherit]" src="./testimonial-01.jpg" width="52" height="52" alt="Testimonial 01">
</button>

Now, the tooltip becomes visible when the button receives focus too. However, we still need to close the tooltip when the container element loses focus:

<div
    class="relative inline-flex justify-center w-[52px] h-[52px] align-middle -translate-y-1 z-50"
    x-data="{ open: false }"
    @mouseover.outside="open = false"
    @focusout="await $nextTick();!$el.contains($focus.focused()) && (open = false)"
>
    <button
        class="h-full w-full focus-visible:outline-none focus-visible:ring focus-visible:ring-indigo-300 rounded-[20px] rotate-[4deg] transition duration-200 ease-[cubic-bezier(.5,.85,.25,1.8)] delay-100"
        @mouseover="open = true"
        @focus="open = true"
    > ...

At this point, you might be wondering why we didn't just use the expression open = false for the @mouseover event . Well, if there are links or other focusable elements inside the tooltip, we shouldn't close it! That's why we utilized the focus plugin of Alpine.js to determine if the focused element is within the tooltip. If it's not, then we can close the tooltip.

Prevent tooltip overflow

Now, let's ensure the tooltip doesn't overflow the viewport, especially on varying screen sizes. In cases where the tooltip goes outside the screen, particularly on smaller displays, we'll use a few lines of JavaScript to dynamically adjust its positioning. To start, assign an x-ref="tooltip" to the tooltip's container and add an x-init directive to the element defining the background color:

<div
    id="testimonial-01"
    role="tooltip"
    class="absolute top-full pt-5 [&[x-cloak]]:hidden"
    x-ref="tooltip"
    x-cloak
>
    <div
        class="relative w-80 after:absolute after:-top-1.5 after:left-1/2 after:-translate-x-1/2 after:h-3 after:w-3 after:rounded-tl-sm after:rotate-45 after:bg-slate-900"
        x-show="open"
        x-transition:enter="transition ease-[cubic-bezier(.5,.85,.25,1.8)] duration-200 delay-100"
        x-transition:enter-start="opacity-0 translate-y-2"
        x-transition:enter-end="opacity-100 translate-y-0"
        x-transition:leave="transition ease-[cubic-bezier(.5,.85,.25,1.8)] duration-100 delay-100"
        x-transition:leave-start="opacity-100"
        x-transition:leave-end="opacity-0"                               
    >
        <div

In the code above, the $watch method from Alpine.js monitors changes in the open property. When it detects a change, it triggers a function that adjusts the tooltip's position:

• If the toolptip overflows the screen to the left, it moves the tooltip right.
• If the toolptip overflows the screen to the right, it moves the tooltip left.

This addition ensures the tooltip remains within the screen boundaries.

Lower sibling opacity on interaction

So far, the component is perfectly functional and accessible, but let's add a subtle enhancement. When a user hovers over an image, we want to decrease the opacity of all other elements. To do this, we'll assign a class bound to the open property:

<div
    class="relative inline-flex justify-center w-[52px] h-[52px] align-middle -translate-y-1 z-50"
    x-data="{ open: false }"
    :class="{ 'active': open }"
    @mouseover.outside="open = false"
    @focusout="await $nextTick();!$el.contains($focus.focused()) && (open = false)"
> ...

In essence, when open is true, the active class is added to the container element. Now, we can use this class to lower the opacity of sibling elements. For those unfamiliar with CSS, the subsequent-sibling combinator (~) can select elements that are siblings occurring after a specific element. So, to lower the opacity of subsequent-sibling elements, we can use the custom class [&.active~*]:opacity-25 on all elements containing text and images. Now, to address the challenge of lowering opacity for preceding elements, we can use the ~ combinator in conjunction with the :has() pseudo-class. This ensures all preceding elements are selected, as explained by Tobias Ahlin Bjerrome. The resulting class is [&:has(~.active)]:opacity-25. Finally, add the transition-opacity and duration-200 classes for a smooth opacity transition effect. With the changes just made, our component is now complete:

                            This component is AWESOME. The hover feature is well-thought-out. Even the smaller details, like using colors, really helps everything stay organized. Cruip is amazing and I really enjoy using it.
