Usage

Append a bs-tooltip attribute to any element to enable the directive.

The module exposes a $tooltipservice

Available for programmatic use (mainly in directives as it requires a DOM element).

        
          var myTooltip = $tooltip(element, {title: 'My Title'});

Options

Options can be passed via data-attributes on the directive or as an object hash to configure the service. For data attributes, append the option name to data-, as in data-animation="".

For directives, you can naturally inherit the contextual $scope or leverage a custom one with an AngularJS expression to evaluate as an object directly on the bs-tooltip attribute

This module supports exotic placement options!

You can position your popover in corners (such as bottom-left) or any other combination two.

Exotic placement options are not part of the Bootstrap's core, to use them you must use bootstrap-additions.css from the BootstrapAdditions project. This project being not yet fully released, meanwhile, you can use the development snapshot compiled for theses docs.

Name type default description
animation string am-fade apply a CSS animation powered by ngAnimate
placement string 'top' how to position the tooltip - top | bottom | left | right | auto, or any combination like bottom-left or auto bottom-left.
When "auto" is specified, it will dynamically reorient the tooltip. For example, if placement is "auto left", the tooltip will display to the left when possible, otherwise it will display right.
trigger string 'hover focus' how tooltip is triggered - click | hover | focus | manual
title string '' default title value if titleattribute isn't present
html boolean false replace ng-bind with ng-bind-html, requires ngSanitize to be loaded
delay number | object 0

delay showing and hiding the tooltip (ms) - does not apply to manual trigger type

If a number is supplied, delay is applied to both hide/show

Object structure is: delay: { show: 500, hide: 100 }

container string | false false

Appends the tooltip to a specific element. Example: container: 'body'. This option is particularly useful in that it allows you to position the tooltip in the flow of the document near the triggering element - which will prevent the tooltip from floating away from the triggering element during a window resize.
target string | DOMElement | false false

Position the tooltip relative to a specific target element.
template path false

If provided, overrides the default template, can be either a remote URL or a cached template id.

It should be a div.tooltip element following Bootstrap styles conventions (like this).
contentTemplate path false

If provided, fetches the partial and includes it as the inner content, can be either a remote URL or a cached template id.
prefixEvent string 'tooltip'

If provided, prefixes the events '.hide.before' '.hide' '.show.before' and '.show' with the passed in value. With the default value these events are 'tooltip.hide.before' 'tooltip.hide' 'tooltip.show.before' and 'tooltip.show'
id string '' The tooltip instance id for usage in event handlers.

Default options

You can override global defaults for the plugin with $tooltipProvider.defaults

        
          angular.module('myApp')
          .config(function($tooltipProvider) {
            angular.extend($tooltipProvider.defaults, {
              animation: 'am-flip-x',
              trigger: 'hover'
            });
          })

Helper attributes

Helper attributes can be used together with the directive via data-attributes to support specific functionality. Helper attributes support data binding. To use helper attributes, append the helper attribute name to data-, as in data-bs-show="true".

Name type default description
