JS Popover (popover.js)
The Popover plugin is similar to tooltips; it is a pop-up box that appears
when the user clicks on an element. The difference is that the popover can
contain much more content.
Plugin dependency: Popovers require the tooltip plugin (tooltip.js) to be included in your
version of Bootstrap.
For a tutorial about Popovers, read our Bootstrap Popover Tutorial.

Example
Click To Toggle Popover
$(document).ready(function(){
$('[data-toggle="popover"]').popover();
});
<a href="#" data-toggle="popover" title="Popover Header" data-content="Some content inside the popover">Toggle popover</a>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('[data-toggle="popover"]').popover();
});
</script>

Via data-* Attributes
The data-toggle="popover" activates the popover.
The title attribute specifies the header text of the popover.
The data-content attribute specifies the text that should be displayed inside
the popover's body.
Example
<a href="#" data-toggle="popover" title="Popover Header" data-content="Some
content inside the popover">Toggle popover</a>

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

Popover 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 opening and closing the popover
| Try it |
| container | string, or the boolean false | false | Appends the popover to a specific element. Example: container: 'body' | Try it |
| content | string | "" | Specifies the text inside the popover's body | Try it |
| delay | number, or object | 0 | Specifies the number of milliseconds it will take to open and close the popover. To specify a delay for opening and another one for closing, use the object structure: delay: {show: 500, hide: 100} - which will take 500 ms to open the popover, but only 100 ms to close it | Try it |
| html | boolean | false | Specifies whether to accept HTML tags in the popover:
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 | "right" | Specifies the popover position. Possible values:
| Try it |
| selector | string, or the boolean false | false | Adds the popover to a specified selector | Try it |
| template | string | Base HTML to use when creating the popover. The popover's title will be injected into the .popover-title. The popover's content will be injected into the .popover-content. .arrow will become the popover's arrow. The outermost wrapper element should have the .popover class. | ||
| title | string | "" | Specifies the header text of the popover | Try it |
| trigger | string | "click" | Specifies how the popover 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 popover within the bounds of this element. Example: viewport: '#viewport' or {selector: '#viewport', padding: 0} |
