How to disable default title in react-data-grid

Question

react-data-grid is having default tooltip to each cell. It adds the title attribute automatically. I don't want that tooltip, how can I hide it?

Also, I don't want to use custom formatter. I think it will be overhead.

e.g Try to hover on any cell

It might not be possible to get around without custom formatter

As far as overhead, check out the implementation it makes use of SimpleCellFormatter https://github.com/adazzle/react-data-grid/blob/master/packages/react-data-grid/src/formatters/SimpleCellFormatter.js there is nothing special going on there

class SimpleCellFormatter extends React.Component {
  static propTypes = {
    value: PropTypes.oneOfType([PropTypes.string, PropTypes.number, PropTypes.object, PropTypes.bool])
  };

  shouldComponentUpdate(nextProps) {
    return nextProps.value !== this.props.value;
  }

  render() {
    return <div title={this.props.value}>{this.props.value}</div>;
  }
}

Have your custom formatter like this (same as above except the title attribute):

class CustomSimpleCellFormatter extends React.Component {
  static propTypes = {
    value: PropTypes.oneOfType([PropTypes.string, PropTypes.number, PropTypes.object, PropTypes.bool])
  };

  shouldComponentUpdate(nextProps) {
    return nextProps.value !== this.props.value;
  }

  render() {
    return <div >{this.props.value}</div>;
  }
}

And it attached to your columns

const columns = [
  {
    key: "id",
    name: "ID",
    sortDescendingFirst: true
  },
  {
    key: "title",
    name: "Title",
    title: false
  },
  {
    key: "firstName",
    name: "First Name",
formatter: CustomSimpleCellFormatter,
  },
...

Hope that helps.
