How to Use Bootstrap Tooltip

ToolTip is a great way to point some hint or information to the user.

In this article, we will be checking on how to use Bootstrap Tooltip. But before that we will be looking into few things about tooltip first.

Tooltip Direction

We can get a tooltip for all four directions which are top, right, bottom, and left aligned. We can get this tooltip for each direction by using proper markup as below:

Initialize Tooptip

For the performance point of view, we need to initialize tooltip before it can be used. We can initialize tooltip using a code, but we need to make sure that we are using `toggle` data attribute of an elements.

Once tooltip is initialized, it will generate markup to show a tooltip. We will see what kind of markup it will generate based on data attributes we have given.

Options

Tooltip plugin has got a good amount of options, so we can customize that as per need. We can use these options while initializing tooltip object or we can utilize data attribute for each option. We can use option name as a data attribute. e.g. data-animation, data-selector, data-title, etc. All the options for this plugin can be found here.

Just like options we have all possible methods and events assigned to a tooltip, which we will be looking into next section.

Methods

We can use tooltip’s method by using ‘$().tooltip(options)’ code, where options are different methods we can use. Let’s go into each method below:

Events

Events are handlers which we can utilize to perform a custom action on the specific event of Tooltip.

show.bs.tooltip: fires immediately when the show method is called

shown.bs.tooltip: fired when the tooltip has been made visible to the user (Keep note that, this event will wait for CSS transition to complete)

hide.bs.tooltip: fires immediately when the hide method is called

hidden.bs.tooltip: fired when the tooltip has finished being hidden to user (Keep note that, this event will wait for CSS transition to complete)

inserted.bs.tooltip: fired after the show.bs.tooltip event when the template has been generated and added to the DOM

You might have a question on how to use this event, not to worry have a look at below code on how to utilize these events.
