npm install --save v-tooltip
Install the plugin into Vue:
import Vue from 'vue'
import VTooltip from 'v-tooltip'
Vue.use(VTooltip)
Or use the directives and components directly:
import Vue from 'vue'
import { VTooltip, VPopover } from 'v-tooltip'
Vue.directive('tooltip', VTooltip)
Vue.component('v-popover', VPopover)
Include popper.js with v-tooltip in the page.
<script src="https://unpkg.com/popper.js"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/v-tooltip"></script>
If Vue is detected in the Page, the plugin is installed automatically.
Manually install the plugin into Vue:
Vue.use(VTooltip)
Or use the directives and components directly:
Vue.directive('tooltip', VTooltip.VTooltip)
Vue.component('v-popover', VTooltip.VPopover)
In the template, use the v-tooltip
directive:
<button v-tooltip="'You have ' + count + ' new messages.'">
Of course, you can use a reactive property:
<button v-tooltip="tooltipContent">
You can specify the tooltip position as a modifier:
<button v-tooltip.bottom-left="'You have ' + count + ' new messages.'">
The available positions are:
'top'
'top-start'
'top-end'
'right'
'right-start'
'right-end'
'bottom'
'bottom-start'
'bottom-end'
'left'
'left-start'
'left-end'
You can use an object instead of a simple string:
<button v-tooltip="{ content: 'You have ' + count + ' new messages.' }">
You can set the tooltip css classes dynamically with the object notation:
<button v-tooltip="{ content: 'You have ' + count + ' new messages.', classes: ['a', 'b'] }">
This will replace the default CSS classe with 'a b' on the tooltip element.
You can also use the standard class notation:
<button v-tooltip="{ content: 'You have ' + count + ' new messages.', classes: 'a b' }">
Or a reactive property:
<button v-tooltip="{ content: 'You have ' + count + ' new messages.', classes: tooltipClasses }">
<button v-tooltip="options">
content
- HTML text to be displayed in the tooltip.classes
- (see above)delay
- Show/Hide delay, or object:{ show: 500, hide: 100 }
(ms).placement
- (see above)trigger
- Events triggering the tooltip separated with spaces:'hover'
,'click'
,'focus'
or'manual'
('manual'
can't be combined with any other event).offset
- Offset of the position (px).container
- Selector: Container where the tooltip will be appended (e.g.'body'
).boundariesElement
- DOM element for the tooltip boundaries.popperOptions
- Other Popper.js options.
By default, if trigger
contains 'hover'
, the tooltip is automatically hidden on hover or click. To disable this, set the autoHide
option to false
:
VTooltip.options.autoHide = false
On mobile, you can disable the tooltips with the VTooltip.enabled
property:
VTooltip.enabled = window.innerWidth > 768
If you need to display components inside the tooltip (or popover/dropdown, technically it's the same ๐), use the v-popover
component:
<v-popover
offset="16"
>
<!-- This will be the popover target (for the events and position) -->
<button class="tooltip-target b3">Click me</button>
<!-- This will be the content of the popover -->
<template slot="popover">
<input class="tooltip-content" v-model="msg" placeholder="Tooltip content" />
<p>
{{ msg }}
</p>
<!-- You can put other components too -->
<ExampleComponent char="=" />
</template>
</v-popover>
By default, the popover will have the tooltip
and popover
classes, so you can easily override the style:
.tooltip {
// ...
&.popover {
$color: #f9f9f9;
.popover-inner {
background: $color;
color: black;
padding: 24px;
border-radius: 5px;
box-shadow: 0 5px 30px rgba(black, .1);
}
.popover-arrow {
border-color: $color;
}
}
}
z-index
CSS property:
.tooltip-arrow {
z-index: 1;
}
Props:
open
- Boolean that shows or hide the popover.placement
- (see above)delay
- (see above)trigger
- (see above)offset
- (see above)container
- (see above)boundariesElement
- (see above)popperOptions
- (see above)popoverClass
- Classes applied to the popover element.autoHide
- Hide the popover if clicked outside.handleResize

prop.show
hide

auto-hide
- Emitted when the popover is closed if clicked outside.resize

// Default tooltip placement relative to target element
defaultPlacement: 'top',
// Default CSS classes applied to the tooltip element

Or directly on the directive definition:
// Set custom CSS class
VTooltip.options.defaultClass = 'my-tooltip'
