### Props

| Prop        | Type                          | Default               | Description                                                                                                           |
| ----------- | ----------------------------- | --------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `text`      | `string`                      | `''`                  | Text to be used as the tooltip. If empty the slot will be used.                                                       |
| `placement` | `Placement`                   | `auto`                | See the [Fluent UI docs](https://floating-ui.com/docs/computePosition#placement).                                     |
| `boundary`  | `HTMLElement \| string`       | `'clippingAncestors'` | See the [Fluent UI docs](https://floating-ui.com/docs/detectOverflow#boundary).                                       |
| `offset`    | `Options`                     | `4`                   | See the [Fluent UI docs](https://floating-ui.com/docs/offset#options).                                                |
| `auto`      | `boolean \| 'start' \| 'end'` | `false`               | Use the [`autoPlacement`](https://floating-ui.com/docs/autoPlacement) middleware. If set `placement` will be ignored. |

### Slots

#### `hint`

> Only works if the `text` props is empty. Otherwise the slot is ignored.

If you don't want to use the pre-styled tooltip you are free to use whatever html / svelte code you'd like as the tooltip.

```svelte
<Hint>
  <div>Hover me</div>
  <div slot="hint">Some custom html</div>
</Hint>
```
