Tooltips

Documentation and examples for adding custom Bootstrap tooltips with CSS and JavaScript for animations and data-bs-attributes for local title storage.

WARNING

This feature is only available in AdminKit PRO. Learn more.

Example: Enable tooltips everywhere

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

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:

Placeholder text to demonstrate some inline links with tooltips. This is now just filler, no killer. Content placed here just to mimic the presence of real text. 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 these tooltips on links can work in practice, once you use them on your own site or project.

<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.

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

<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.
