Single or multiple tooltip components within project?

[brandstetterm]

Hello, I am currently wondering what the best procedure is for using react-tooltip. Is it better to have a single global tooltip component with an id, which is then used by all components with the data-tooltip-id data attribute? Or is it better to have multiple tooltip components, for example for every place of use?

It's usually a good idea to start off with just a single global tooltip, and then adding extra ones if the need ever arises.

Examples of situations where you'll probably want extra tooltips so it's easier to work with them:

• Different styling (background color, padding, ...)
• Different behavior (opening on click, show/hide delay)

There are probably other situations as well, but hopefully you get the idea.

Thank you very much for your quick answer :)
Since we have a consistent design accross our tooltips, it is probably best to use a single global one
