# Bootstrap 5 Tooltips

Bootstrap 5 tooltip examples for AdminKit PRO: top, right, bottom and left placement, set with data-bs-toggle and data-bs-placement attributes.

> This feature is only available in **AdminKit PRO**. [Learn more](/pricing/).

## Example: Enable tooltips everywhere

One way to initialize all tooltips on a page would be to select them by their `data-bs-toggle` attribute:

```js
var tooltipTriggerList = [].slice.call(document.querySelectorAll('[data-bs-toggle="tooltip"]'))
var tooltipList = tooltipTriggerList.map(function (tooltipTriggerEl) {
  return new bootstrap.Tooltip(tooltipTriggerEl)
})
```

## Examples

Hover over the links below to see tooltips:

```html
<p class="muted">Placeholder text to demonstrate some <a href="#" data-bs-toggle="tooltip" title="Default tooltip">inline links</a> with tooltips. This is now just filler, no killer. Content placed here just to mimic the presence of <a href="#" data-bs-toggle="tooltip" title="Another tooltip">real text</a>. And all that just to give you an idea of how tooltips would look when used in real-world situations. So hopefully you've now seen how <a href="#" data-bs-toggle="tooltip" title="Another one here too">these tooltips on links</a> can work in practice, once you use them on <a href="#" data-bs-toggle="tooltip" title="The last tip!">your own</a> site or project.
</p>
```

Hover over the buttons below to see the four tooltips directions: top, right, bottom, and left. Directions are mirrored when using Bootstrap in RTL.

```html
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-bs-toggle="tooltip" data-bs-placement="top" title="Tooltip on top">
  Tooltip on top
</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-bs-toggle="tooltip" data-bs-placement="right" title="Tooltip on right">
  Tooltip on right
</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-bs-toggle="tooltip" data-bs-placement="bottom" title="Tooltip on bottom">
  Tooltip on bottom
</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-bs-toggle="tooltip" data-bs-placement="left" title="Tooltip on left">
  Tooltip on left
</button>
```

## About

Things to know when using the tooltip plugin:

- Tooltips rely on the 3rd party library Popper for positioning.
- Tooltips are opt-in for performance reasons, so **you must initialize them yourself**.
- Tooltips with zero-length titles are never displayed.
- Specify `container: 'body'` to avoid rendering problems in more complex components (like our input groups, button groups, etc).
- Triggering tooltips on hidden elements will not work.
- Tooltips for `.disabled` or `disabled` elements must be triggered on a wrapper element.
- When triggered from hyperlinks that span multiple lines, tooltips will be centered. Use `white-space: nowrap;` on your `<a>`s to avoid this behavior.
- Tooltips must be hidden before their corresponding elements have been removed from the DOM.
- Tooltips can be triggered thanks to an element inside a shadow DOM.
