Ionic Tooltips Demo

Examples

The module can be used to display tooltips for any element in your app. It also provides a special treatment for buttons in the header navigation (inspired by Google's apps).

Here's a quick example to show a tooltip below a button:

<!-- positionV specifies where the tooltip should be displayed vertically, can be either top or bottom -->
<!-- arrow tells the tooltip directive to show an arrow above the tooltip box -->
<button ion-button tooltip="I'm a tooltip below a button" positionV="bottom" arrow>
  Press me to see a tooltip
</button>

And here's another example to show a tooltip below a nav button:

<ion-header>
  <ion-navbar>
    <ion-title>Page title</ion-title>
    <ion-buttons end>
      <!-- navTooltip tells the tooltip directive that this is a nav button -->
      <ion-button icon-only tooltip="Call" navTooltip>
        <ion-icon name="call"></ion-icon>
      </ion-button>
    </ion-buttons>
  </ion-navbar>
</ion-header>

Installation

  1. Install this module by running the following command:
npm i ionic-tooltips@beta
  1. Import TooltipsModule in your @NgModule. If you are using lazy module loading, then you need to import it in the modules where it's used.
import { TooltipsModule } from 'ionic-tooltips';

@NgModule({
   ...
   imports: [
      ...
      TooltipsModule.forRoot()
   ]
})
export class MyModule { ... }
  1. Import BrowserAnimationsModule in your app's main @NgModule.
import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';

@NgModule({
  ...
  imports: [
    ...
    BrowserAnimationsModule
  ]
})

Now you're ready to use this module. See information below for usage.

tooltipHtml

(string) specifies HTML to use inside the tooltip. This will override any value you passed with the [tooltip] directive (if any was provided).

navTooltip

positionV

(string) specifies the vertical position of the tooltip. Can be either 'top' or 'bottom'.

positionH

(string) specifies the horizontal position of the tooltip. Can be either 'right' or 'left'.

event

Note: 'hover' only works on desktop.

desktopEvent

Note: This only works when the event attribute is omitted.

mobileEvent

Note: This only works when the event attribute is omitted.
