ng-tooltips

Tooltips for any element using any html in AngularJS with no requirements. This is a fork of angular-tooltips, replacing the title attribute with tooltip, since using title directly can cause various problems, especially if you use another directive which depends on the title attribute.

Why another tooltip library?

There are other libraries out there like https://github.com/720kb/angular-tooltips or https://angular-ui.github.io/bootstrap/#/tooltip but they either have requirements on other libraries or are overly convoluted in their approach (which can break other things).

This is a very small (8 kB) library that keeps things simple. It also cleans up after itself and doesn't leave rouge elements all over the window.

Installation

Install through yarn or npm

npm install --save ng-tooltips

yarn add ng-tooltips

Include the library files

<link rel="stylesheet" href="node_modules/ng-tooltips/dist/angular-tooltips.css" />
<script src="node_modules/ng-tooltips/dist/angular-tooltips.js"></script>

Add the angular model tooltips

angular.module('app', ['ng-tooltips'])

Usage

Just add a tooltip attribute.

<i class="fa fa-star" tooltip="This is a star!"></i>

The direction of the tooltip can be specified using tooltip-direction with the options: top, top-right, right-top, right, right-bottom, bottom-right, bottom, bottom-left, left-bottom, left, left-top, top-left

<i class="fa fa-star" tooltip="This is a star!" tooltip-direction="right"></i>

The direction of the tooltip will automatically swap if the tooltip will sit outside of the window bounds. To stop this happening and force the direction set the tooltip-fixed-position option

<i class="fa fa-star" tooltip="This is a star!" tooltip-direction="right" tooltip-fixed-position="true"></i>
