Close Hint On Element Click

[mpigsley]

If only the "click" event is set to true, it seems as though clicking an element with data-rh works to open the hint but clicking it again does not close the hint.

I can wire up toggleHint from the ref, but it seems like the default here should be to close hint if the element is clicked again. If persist is set to true then it shouldn't close on click. At least that's how I interpret it.

Hi, thanks for raising this issue. Indeed, currently, it doesn't hide the hint in case of triggering the same event. Initially, the API was made for hover events, click events were kinda ad-hoc, that's why they aren't convenient to deal with. The persist property was introduced to retain the hint if you hover/click inside of the hint itself, otherwise, it would become hidden.

You are right, it makes sense to hide the hint on click if it's already shown, but this change breaks compatibility and might affect someone else's code and I would like to avoid it. As you've mentioned the only suitable way, for now, is to use toggleHint as described here: #32 (comment).

I am working on the next API, it's halfway there, but I would like to get as much feedback as possible about all the inconveniences with the current API and have a proper discussion around the new API. If you could join the discussion it would be awesome: #46
