Akido Electron tooltip

Introduction

This module is a fork of Electron tooltip, with improved support for the lastest version of electron (>5).

The documentation is the same. The name has changed.

Description

This module is intended to be used in Electron applications. It allows for tooltips to flow outside the window bounds they're called from.

Installation

npm i akido-electron-tooltip

Usage

After importing the module, it will search for elements that have the data-tooltip attribute attached. A configuration object can be passed in when calling the tooltip function.

// in the render process..
const tt = require('akido-electron-tooltip')
tt({
  // config properties
})

Position, width and offset options can be overriden on a per element basis by using the data-tooltip-{option} attribute.

<!-- basic example: -->
<a href="http://www.facebook.com" data-tooltip="Go to Facebook" data-tooltip-position="bottom"></a>
