Disabling tooltip without disabling interactivity
See original GitHub issueIs your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I would like to have more control over how exactly the tooltips are rendered. For instance, I would like to render them in a portal so that they are not cut by the container or use custom positioning logic. Right now it doesn’t seem to be possible without redefining item components e.g. barItemComponent which is quite a limitation. It is possible to disable interactivity but that also disables other interactive features e.g. the crosshair and the onMouse… event handlers are not called at all.
Describe the solution you’d like
There should be a property isTooltipEnabled which would disable the tooltip when passed false without disabling the onMouse… event handlers. Alternatively, passing null to the tooltip prop could also disable tooltip.
Additional context
Large tooltip in a small chart is cut because it’s not rendered in a portal in a container which needs to use overflow: hidden or overflow: scroll

Yes, thanks! I’ve actually discovered this approach too now and it works for me at least as a workaround. Does it still mean though that some resources are spent on rendering/positioning or can this be neglected? In any case, I think accepting
nullorfalseand documenting it would be more straightforward and helpful for the users of the API.Closing this issue after a prolonged period of inactivity. If this issue is still present in the latest release, please create a new issue with up-to-date information. Thank you!
