Add new tooltip component to DS

[contolini]

We have two cf.gov apps that use tooltips but limited documentation on best practices or how to use them in new projects. This PR adds one implementation to the DS. It requires a third party library called Tippy.js.

It requires code in the following format:

Some sentence that requires additional clarity <span data-tooltip="relevant-tooltip">{% include 'icons/help-round.svg' %}</span>
<template id="relevant-tooltip">
    <div class="tippy-heading">Here's the tooltip heading</div>
    <div class="tippy-body">And the tooltip body</div>
</template>

Creating the CFPB theme requires augmenting the tippy-* classes. There's no CSS that's usable without the Tippy library so I didn't create an o-tooltip organism.

Testing

1. Visit the tooltip page at the PR preview website.

Notes

• It doesn't feel great adding Tippy.js to the main package.json when its code will be used on few pages.

Todos

• Add more documentation about usage and design guidelines.

@anselmbradford after trying a handful of techniques to conditionally load the tooltip third-party dependency only when a tooltip is used, I ultimately decided to not bundle the tooltip code with the rest of the DS and instead added it as a separate entrypoint using the exports field. This allows developers to selectively add tooltips to their project by importing @cfpb/cfpb-design-system/tooltips. I added a note to the variation code snippet with usage instructions.

When resolving conflicts, you'll want to delete the npm-packages-offline-cache folder.

Should we have a cursor change on hover?

If JS is off, it seems like the (?) icons should be hidden.

Should we have a cursor change on hover?

I say no because a pointer cursor indicates something will happen on click (and nothing does in our case).

If JS is off, it seems like the (?) icons should be hidden.

I originally didn't do this because I figured there are scenarios where a user might want some words in the middle of a sentence to trigger a tooltip and it'd be bad if those words disappeared when JS is disabled. But our guidance explicitly states that help icons should trigger them so I'll add this feature and include a note about it in the guidance section.

If you're hovered on the (?), the tooltip shows. If you then click the (?), the tooltip is dismissed—so that's the action I was thinking the cursor change would indicate.

If not a cursor change, should there be a hover change on roll over? Or is that too button like? I noticed https://designsystem.digital.gov/components/tooltip/ has both a hover color change and a cursor change, but they also show the tooltip on buttons, so I'm unclear if that's completely covered by the buttons themselves, or if some of that is for the tooltip. Maybe @jenn-franklin can tell us how it should be and that's that.

:+1: to a cursor change + click to close. No hover change. Thanks for calling this out!

Just in case you missed it—npm-packages-offline-cache still needs to be deleted.
