Angular Bootstrap tooltip

Tooltips are a convenient way of presenting additional information to your user. They are tiny little clouds with a brief text message, triggered by clicking on specified element or hovering over it.

They significantly increase User Experience, especially with advanced UI elements, which often require additional explanation.

Examples

Four options are available: top, right, bottom, and left aligned.

Add placement="top/left/bottom/right" to the <button> tag.


<button type="button" mdbBtn color="primary" class="bwaves-light" mdbTooltip="Tooltip on top" placement="top" mdbWavesEffect>
  Tooltip on top
</button>

<button type="button" mdbBtn color="primary" class="waves-light" mdbTooltip="Tooltip on right" placement="right" mdbWavesEffect>
  Tooltip on right
</button>

<button type="button" mdbBtn color="primary" class="waves-light" mdbTooltip="Tooltip on bottom" placement="bottom" mdbWavesEffect>
  Tooltip on bottom
</button>

<button type="button" mdbBtn color="primary" class="waves-light" mdbTooltip="Tooltip on left" placement="left" mdbWavesEffect>
  Tooltip on left
</button>

Options

Add triggers="focus" to the <button> tag.


<button type="button" mdbBtn color="success" class="waves-light" mdbTooltip="Some tooltip text!" triggers="focus" mdbWavesEffect>

simple binding

Add [tooltip]="content" inside your <button>.

  public content: string = 'Add your content here';
}

Create <ng-template> tag and place [mdbTooltip]="popTemplate" inside your <button>tag.


Here we go:

  templateUrl: 'tooltip-dynamic.html',

export class TooltipDynamicComponent {
  public html: string = 'Your HTML here';

  Hover over me!
</button>

    This text has attached tooltip

API Reference:

In order to speed up your application, you can choose to import only the modules you actually need, instead of importing the entire MDB Angular library. Remember that importing the entire library, and immediately afterwards a specific module, is bad practice, and can cause application errors.

API Reference for MDB Angular Tooltip:

// For MDB Angular Pro
import { TooltipModule, WavesModule } from 'ng-uikit-pro-standard'
