angularjs-tooltips

angular-tooltips

Tooltips for any element using any html in AngularJS with no requirements.

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 bower

bower install tooltips-angular

Include the library files

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

Add the angular model tooltips

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

Usage

Just add a normal title attribute and it will be overridden.

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

The direction of the tooltip can be specified using title-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" title="This is a star!" title-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 fixed-position option

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