v-tooltip

Easy tooltips with Tooltip.js

Installation

Npm

npm install --save v-tooltip

Install the plugin into Vue:

import Vue from 'vue'
import VTooltip from 'v-tooltip'

Vue.use(VTooltip)

Or use the directive directly:

import Vue from 'vue'
import { VTooltip } from 'v-tooltip'

Vue.directive('tooltip', VTooltip)

Browser

Include popper.js & tooltip.js with v-tooltip in the page.

Install the plugin into Vue:

Vue.use(VTooltip)

Or use the directive directly:

Vue.directive('tooltip', VTooltip.VTooltip)

Usage

In the template, use the v-tooltip directive:

<button v-tooltip="'You have ' + count + ' new messages.'">

Of course, you can use a reactive property:

<button v-tooltip="tooltipContent">

You can specify the tooltip position as a modifier:

<button v-tooltip.bottom-left="'You have ' + count + ' new messages.'">

The available positions are:

'top'
'top-start'
'top-end'
'right'
'right-start'
'right-end'
'bottom'
'bottom-start'
'bottom-end'
'left'
'left-start'
'left-end'

Object notation

You can use an object instead of a simple string:

<button v-tooltip="{ content: 'You have ' + count + ' new messages.' }">

Dynamic CSS classes

You can set the tooltip css classes dynamically with the object notation:

<button v-tooltip="{ content: 'You have ' + count + ' new messages.', classes: ['a', 'b'] }">

This will replace the default CSS classe with 'a b' on the tooltip element.

You can also use the standard class notation:

<button v-tooltip="{ content: 'You have ' + count + ' new messages.', classes: 'a b' }">

Or a reactive property:

<button v-tooltip="{ content: 'You have ' + count + ' new messages.', classes: tooltipClasses }">

Other options

<button v-tooltip="options">

content - HTML text to be displayed in the tooltip
classes - (see above)
delay - Show/Hide delay (ms)
placement - (see above)
trigger - Events triggering the tooltip separated with spaces: 'hover', 'click', 'focus' or 'manual' ('manual' can't be combined with any other event)
offset - Offset of the position (px)
container - Selector: Container where the tooltip will be appended (e.g. 'body')

Global options

The default global options are:

{
  // Default tooltip placement relative to target element
  defaultPlacement: 'top',
  // Default CSS classes applied to the tooltip element
  defaultClass: 'vue-tooltip-theme',
  // Default HTML template of the tooltip element
  // It must include `tooltip` & `tooltip-inner` CSS classes
  defaultTemplate: '<div class="tooltip" role="tooltip"><div class="tooltip-arrow"></div><div class="tooltip-inner"></div></div>',
  // Delay (ms)
  defaultDelay: 0,
  // Default events that trigger the tooltip
  defaultTrigger: 'hover focus',
  // Default position offset (px)
  defaultOffset: 0,
  // Default container where the tooltip will be appended
  defaultContainer: 'body',
}

You can change the options during install with the arguments:

Vue.use(VTooltip, options)

Or directly on the directive definition:

// Set custom CSS class
VTooltip.options.defaultClass = 'my-tooltip'

Disabling tooltips

On mobile, you can disable the tooltips with the VTooltip.enabled property:

VTooltip.enabled = window.innerWidth > 768
