You can see the below simple example working on StackBlitz

ng add ngx-bootstrap
Install ngx-bootstrap from npm:
npm install ngx-bootstrap --save
Add wanted package to NgModule imports:
import { TooltipModule } from 'ngx-bootstrap/tooltip';
@NgModule({
...
imports: [TooltipModule,...]
...
})
Add component to your page:
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary"
tooltip="Vivamus sagittis lacus vel augue laoreet rutrum faucibus.">
Simple demo
</button>
You will need to add bootstrap css:
This can be done with the css file directly in the index.html, or alternatively through a styles import in the
angular.json file or via styles.scss import. However the latter two options require additionally installing bootstrap via npm.

As you may know ngx-bootstrap supports several bootstrap.css versions at the same time and has automatic tool
to guess current used version of library, but if this guess fails you can specify version of bootstrap.css manually.
Sometimes, your project might contain some library that could interfere with the bootstrap framework, or you might
have a customized version of bootstrap. The consequence is that the process of determining bootstrap version might
be failed, which can break the UI. In that case, we can still set the bootstrap version manually in the bootstrapping
component (i.e. AppComponent):
import { setTheme } from 'ngx-bootstrap/utils';
@Component({...})
export class AppComponent {
constructor() {
setTheme('bs5'); // or 'bs4'
...
}
}
First time:
git clone https://github.com/valor-software/ngx-bootstrap.git
cd ngx-bootstrap
npm ci
npm run build
npm start

So if you are in trouble, here's where you can look for help.
The best place to ask questions is on StackOverflow (under the ngx-bootstrap tag)
where there is a strong community of individuals asking and answering questions.
You can also join our Slack channel and link your stackoverflow question there. But try to avoid asking generic help questions directly on Slack since they can easily get lost in the chat. You can also search among the existing GitHub issues.
If none of the above helped, please feel free to open a new issue.
All contributions very welcome! And remember, contribution is not only PRs and code, but any help with docs or helping other developers to solve issues are very appreciated! Thanks in advance!
