Lazy-Load Shadcn Tooltips for Better Performance

Shadcn Lazy Tooltip: a component wraps shadcn/ui tooltips and only mounts them when users actually hover or touch the trigger element.

Benefits:

โšก Dramatically faster initial page loads when you have lots of tooltips

๐Ÿš€ Zero behavior changes after first interaction

๐Ÿ“ฆ Drop-in replacement for existing shadcn tooltips

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Full TypeScript support out of the box

๐Ÿ“ฑ Works perfectly on mobile with touch events

Perfect for data tables, dashboards, or any interface where you need multiple tooltips but don't want the performance hit on initial render.

The implementation is clean and the API stays exactly the same as regular shadcn tooltips.
