Tooltip Layout
Tooltip is a JavaScript-only component, it doesn't have any HTML layout.
Tooltip App Methods
We need to create/initialize the Tooltip. Let's look at related App methods to work with Tooltip:
app.tooltip.create(parameters)- create Tooltip instance
- parameters - object. Object with tooltip parameters
Method returns created Tooltip instance
app.tooltip.destroy(targetEl)- destroy Tooltip instance
- targetEl - HTMLElement or string (with CSS Selector) or object (instance). Tooltip element or Tooltip instance to destroy.
app.tooltip.get(targetEl)- get Tooltip instance by its target HTML element
- targetEl - HTMLElement or string (with CSS Selector). Tooltip target element.
Method returns Tooltip instance
app.tooltip.show(targetEl)- show Tooltip
- targetEl - HTMLElement or string (with CSS Selector). Tooltip target element.
Method returns Tooltip instance
app.tooltip.hide(targetEl)- hide Tooltip
- targetEl - HTMLElement or string (with CSS Selector). Tooltip target element.
Method returns Tooltip instance
app.tooltip.setText(targetEl, text)- change Tooltip text
- targetEl - HTMLElement or string (with CSS Selector). Tooltip target element.
- text - string - new text to set in specified Tooltip.
Method returns Tooltip instance
Tooltip Parameters
Now let's look at list of available parameters we need to create Tooltip:

|
Tooltip Methods & Properties
So to create Tooltip we have to call:
var tooltip = app.tooltip.create({ /* parameters */ })
After that we have its initialized instance (like tooltip
variable in example above) with useful methods and properties:
Properties | |
---|---|
tooltip.app | Link to global app instance |
tooltip.targetEl | Tooltip target HTML element |
tooltip.$targetEl | Dom7 instance with tooltip target HTML element |
tooltip.el | Tooltip itself HTML element |
tooltip.$el | Dom7 instance with tooltip HTML element |
tooltip.text | Tooltip text/content |
tooltip.opened | Boolean property indicating whether it is opened/visible or not |
tooltip.params | Tooltip parameters |
Methods | |
tooltip.show(targetEl) | Show tooltip around targetEl element. If targetEl is not specified, then it will use targetEl passed in parameters on initialization |
tooltip.hide() | Hide tooltip |
tooltip.setText(text) | Change tooltip text or HTML content to the new one |
tooltip.setTargetEl(targetEl) | Changes tooltip's target element to specified one |
tooltip.destroy() | Destroys tooltip instance |
tooltip.on(event, handler) | Add event handler |
tooltip.once(event, handler) | Add event handler that will be removed after it was fired |
tooltip.off(event, handler) | Remove event handler |
tooltip.off(event) | Remove all handlers for specified event |
tooltip.emit(event, ...args) | Fire event on instance |
Tooltip Events
Tooltip will fire the following DOM events on tooltip element and events on app and tooltip instance:
DOM Events
Event | Target | Description |
---|---|---|
tooltip:show | Tooltip Element Tooltip Target | Event will be triggered when Tooltip becomes visible |
tooltip:hide | Tooltip Element Tooltip Target | Event will be triggered when Tooltip becomes hidden |
tooltip:beforedestroy | Tooltip Element Tooltip Target | Event will be triggered right before Tooltip instance will be destroyed |
App and Tooltip Instance Events
Tooltip instance emits events on both self instance and app instance. App instance events has same names prefixed with tooltip
.
Event | Arguments | Target | Description |
---|---|---|---|
show | (tooltip) | tooltip | Event will be triggered when Tooltip becomes visible. As an argument event handler receives Tooltip instance |
tooltipShow | (tooltip) | app | |
hide | (tooltip) | tooltip | Event will be triggered when Tooltip becomes hidden. As an argument event handler receives Toolitp instance |
tooltipHide | (tooltip) | app | |
beforeDestroy | (tooltip) | tooltip | Event will be triggered right before Tooltip instance will be destroyed. As an argument event handler receives Tooltip instance |
tooltipBeforeDestroy | (tooltip) | app |
Tooltip Auto Initialization
If you don't need to use Tooltip API and your Tooltip target element is inside of the page and presented in DOM on moment of page initialization then it can be auto initialized with just adding tooltip-init
class to target element, and specifying tooltip text in its data-tooltip
attribute:
<!-- Add tooltip-init class and specify tooltip text in data-tooltip attribute -->
<a href="/profile/" class="link tooltip-init profile-link" data-tooltip="Profile settings">
<i class="profile-icon"></i>
</a>
In this case if you need to access created Tooltip instance you can use the app.tooltip.get
app method:
var tooltip = app.tooltip.get('.profile-link');
// change tooltip text
tooltip.setText('Profile');

Below is the list of related CSS variables (CSS custom properties).
