JS Tooltip (tooltip.js)
The Tooltip plugin is small pop-up box that appears when the user moves the mouse pointer over an element.
For a tutorial about Tooltips, read our Bootstrap Tooltip Tutorial.

Via data-* Attributes
The data-toggle="tooltip" activates the tooltip.
The title attribute specifies the text that should be displayed
inside the tooltip.
Example
<a href="#" data-toggle="tooltip" title="Hooray!">Hover over me</a>

Via JavaScript
Tooltips are not CSS-only plugins, and must therefore be initialized with
jQuery: select the specified element and call the tooltip() method.
Example
// Select all
elements with data-toggle="tooltips" in the document
$('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip();
// Select a specified
element
$('#myTooltip').tooltip();

Tooltip Options
Options can be passed via data attributes or JavaScript. For data attributes,
append the option name to data-, as in data-placement="".
| Name | Type | Default | Description | Try it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| animation | boolean | true | Specifies whether to add a CSS fade transition effect when showing and hiding the tooltip
| Try it |
| container | string, or the boolean false | false | Appends the tooltip to a specific element. Example: container: 'body' | Try it |
| delay | number, or object | 0 | Specifies the number of milliseconds it will take to show and hide the tooltip. To specify a delay for showing and another one for hiding, use the object structure: delay: {show: 500, hide: 100} - which will take 500 ms to show the tooltip, but only 100 ms to hide it | Try it |
| html | boolean | false | Specifies whether to accept HTML tags in the tooltip:
Note: The HTML must be inserted in the title attribute (or using the title option). When set to false (default), jQuery's text() method will be used. Use this if you are worried about XSS attacks | Try it |
| placement | string | "top" | Specifies the tooltip position. Possible values:
| Try it |
| selector | string, or the boolean false | false | Adds the tooltip to a specified selector | Try it |
| template | string | Base HTML to use when creating the tooltip. The tooltip's title will be inserted into the element having the class .tooltip-inner and the element with the class .tooltip-arrow will become the tooltip's arrow. The outermost wrapper element should have the .tooltip class. | ||
| title | string | "" | Specifies the text that should be displayed inside the tooltip | Try it |
| trigger | string | "hover focus" | Specifies how the tooltip is triggered. Possible values:
Tip: To pass multiple values, separate them with a space | Try it |
| viewport | string, or object | {selector: "body", padding: 0} | Keeps the tooltip within the bounds of this element. Example: viewport: '#viewport' or {selector: '#viewport', padding: 0} |
