Build your web apps using Smart UI
Smart.Tooltip - configuration and usage
Overview
Smart.Tooltip is used to display a popup message. The widget can be used in combination with any html element.
Getting Started with Tooltip Web Component
Smart UI for Web Components is distributed as smart-webcomponents NPM package. You can also get the full download from our website with all demos from the Download page.Setup the Tooltip
Smart UI for Web Components is distributed as smart-webcomponents NPM package
- Download and install the package.
npm install smart-webcomponents
- Once installed, import the Tooltip module in your application.
<script type="module" src="node_modules/smart-webcomponents/source/modules/smart.tooltip.js"></script>
-
Adding CSS reference
The smart.default.css CSS file should be referenced using following code.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="node_modules/smart-webcomponents/source/styles/smart.default.css" />
- Add the Tooltip tag to your Web Page
<smart-tooltip id="tooltip"></smart-tooltip>
- Create the Tooltip Component
<script type="module"> Smart('#tooltip', class { get properties() { return { selector: "button" } } }); </script>
Another option is to create the Tooltip is by using the traditional Javascript way:
const tooltip = document.createElement('smart-tooltip'); tooltip.disabled = true; document.body.appendChild(tooltip);
Smart framework provides a way to dynamically create a web component on demand from a DIV tag which is used as a host. The following imports the web component's module and creates it on demand, when the document is ready. The #tooltip is the ID of a DIV tag.
import "../../source/modules/smart.tooltip.js"; document.readyState === 'complete' ? init() : window.onload = init; function init() { const tooltip = new Smart.Tooltip('#tooltip', { selector: "button" }); }
- Open the page in your web server.
Appearance
The tooltip must be attached to HTML element. This could be achieved by setting the selector property.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" href="../../source/styles/smart.default.css" type="text/css" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="../../source/smart.element.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="../../source/smart.tooltip.js"></script> <script> window.onload = function () { document.querySelector('smart-tooltip').selector = 'button2'; } </script> </head> <body> <smart-button id="button">Button</smart-button> <smart-button id="button2">Button2</smart-button> <smart-tooltip selector="button" arrow>This is a tooltip</smart-tooltip> </body> </html>
Demo

Smart.Tooltip could be positioned in few different positions.
- top
- right
- bottom
- left
- absolute
<smart-tooltip selector="button" position="top" arrow>This is a tooltip</smart-tooltip>
Demo

The tooltip could be with arrow when arrow property is set to true.
<smart-tooltip selector="button" arrow>This is a tooltip</smart-tooltip>
Demo

In absolute position, tooltip's arrow could be positioned on:
- top
- right
- bottom
- left
<smart-tooltip selector="button" position="absolute" arrow arrow-direction="right">This is a tooltip</smart-tooltip>
Demo

The user could set custom tooltip template via the tooltipTemplate property. As a selector have to be used the template id.
<template id="newTemplate"> <div>Title:</div> <div>{{title}}</div> </template> <smart-tooltip selector="button" arrow tooltip-template="newTemplate">The avengers</smart-tooltip>
Demo

Behavior
The tooltip is displayed on hover of it's selector, but also could be shown programatically via setting visible to true
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" href="../../source/styles/smart.default.css" type="text/css" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="../../source/smart.element.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="../../source/smart.tooltip.js"></script> <script> window.onload = function () { document.querySelector('smart-tooltip').visible = true; } </script> </head> <body> <smart-button id="button">Button</smart-button> <smart-tooltip selector="button">This is a tooltip</smart-tooltip> </body> </html>
Demo

Smart.Tooltip could displayed after particular delay. The delay is set as interval in miliseconds.
<smart-tooltip selector="button" delay="200">This is a tooltip</smart-tooltip>
Demo

The element offers the following methods:
-
close - closes smart-tooltip.
<script> window.onload = function () { var menu = document.querySelector('smart-menu'); menu.close(); } </script>
-
open - opens smart-tooltip.
<script> window.onload = function () { var menu = document.querySelector('smart-menu'); menu.open(); } </script>
-
toggle - toggles smart-tooltip.
<script> window.onload = function () { var menu = document.querySelector('smart-menu'); menu.toggle(); } </script>
Create, Append, Remove, Get/Set Property, Invoke Method, Bind to Event
Create a new element:
const tooltip = document.createElement('smart-tooltip');
Append it to the DOM:
document.body.appendChild(tooltip);
Remove it from the DOM:
tooltip.parentNode.removeChild(tooltip);
Set a property:
tooltip.propertyName = propertyValue;
Get a property value:
const propertyValue = tooltip.propertyName;
Invoke a method:
tooltip.methodName(argument1, argument2);
Add Event Listener:
const eventHandler = (event) => { // your code here. }; tooltip.addEventListener(eventName, eventHandler);
Remove Event Listener:
tooltip.removeEventListener(eventName, eventHandler, true);
Using with Typescript
Smart Web Components package includes TypeScript definitions which enables strongly-typed access to the Smart UI Components and their configuration.
Inside the download package, the typescript directory contains .d.ts file for each web component and a smart.elements.d.ts typescript definitions file for all web components. Copy the typescript definitions file to your project and in your TypeScript file add a reference to smart.elements.d.ts

Setup Angular Environment
Angular provides the easiest way to set angular CLI projects using Angular CLI tool.
Install the CLI application globally to your machine.
npm install -g @angular/cli
Create a new Application
ng new smart-angular-tooltip
Navigate to the created project folder
cd smart-angular-tooltip
Setup the Tooltip
Smart UI for Angular is distributed as smart-webcomponents-angular NPM package
- Download and install the package.
npm install smart-webcomponents-angular
- Once installed, import the TooltipModule in your application root or feature module.
app.module.ts
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'; import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'; import { ButtonModule } from 'smart-webcomponents-angular/button'; import { RadioButtonModule } from 'smart-webcomponents-angular/radiobutton'; import { TooltipModule } from 'smart-webcomponents-angular/tooltip'; import { AppComponent } from './app.component'; @NgModule({ declarations: [ AppComponent ], imports: [ BrowserModule, ButtonModule, RadioButtonModule, TooltipModule ], bootstrap: [ AppComponent ] }) export class AppModule { }
- Adding CSS reference
The following CSS file is available in ../node_modules/smart-webcomponents-angular/ package folder. This can be referenced in [src/styles.css] using following code.@import 'smart-webcomponents-angular/source/styles/smart.default.css';
Another way to achieve the same is to edit the angular.json file and in the styles add the style."styles": [ "node_modules/smart-webcomponents-angular/source/styles/smart.default.css" ]
-
Example
app.component.html
<smart-button #button id="button">Button</smart-button> <smart-tooltip #tooltip id="tooltip" [selector]="'button'" [arrow]="true">This is a tooltip for smartButton</smart-tooltip> <div class="options"> <h3>Tooltip Position:</h3> <smart-radio-button #radiobutton [checked]="true">Top</smart-radio-button> <br/> <smart-radio-button #radiobutton2>Bottom</smart-radio-button> <br/> <smart-radio-button #radiobutton3>Left</smart-radio-button> <br/> <smart-radio-button #radiobutton4>Right</smart-radio-button> <br/> </div>
app.component.ts
import { Component, ViewChild, OnInit, AfterViewInit } from '@angular/core'; import { ButtonComponent } from 'smart-webcomponents-angular/button'; import { RadioButtonComponent } from 'smart-webcomponents-angular/radiobutton'; import { TooltipComponent } from 'smart-webcomponents-angular/tooltip'; @Component({ selector: 'app-root', templateUrl: './app.component.html', styleUrls: ['./app.component.css'] }) export class AppComponent implements AfterViewInit, OnInit { @ViewChild('button', { read: ButtonComponent, static: false }) button!: ButtonComponent; @ViewChild('radiobutton', { read: RadioButtonComponent, static: false }) radiobutton!: RadioButtonComponent; @ViewChild('radiobutton2', { read: RadioButtonComponent, static: false }) radiobutton2!: RadioButtonComponent; @ViewChild('radiobutton3', { read: RadioButtonComponent, static: false }) radiobutton3!: RadioButtonComponent; @ViewChild('radiobutton4', { read: RadioButtonComponent, static: false }) radiobutton4!: RadioButtonComponent; @ViewChild('tooltip', { read: TooltipComponent, static: false }) tooltip!: TooltipComponent; ngOnInit(): void { // onInit code. } ngAfterViewInit(): void { // afterViewInit code. this.init(); } init(): void { // init code. const that = this, tooltip = that.tooltip; that.radiobutton.addEventListener('change', function ():void { tooltip.position = 'top'; }); that.radiobutton2.addEventListener('change', function ():void { tooltip.position = 'bottom'; }); that.radiobutton3.addEventListener('change', function ():void { tooltip.position = 'left'; }); that.radiobutton4.addEventListener('change', function ():void { tooltip.position = 'right'; }); } }
app.module.ts
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'; import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'; import { ButtonModule } from 'smart-webcomponents-angular/button'; import { RadioButtonModule } from 'smart-webcomponents-angular/radiobutton'; import { TooltipModule } from 'smart-webcomponents-angular/tooltip'; import { AppComponent } from './app.component'; @NgModule({ declarations: [ AppComponent ], imports: [ BrowserModule, ButtonModule, RadioButtonModule, TooltipModule ], bootstrap: [ AppComponent ] }) export class AppModule { }
Running the Angular application
After completing the steps required to render a Tooltip, run the following command to display the output in your web browser
ng serveand open localhost:4200 in your favorite web browser.

Getting Started with React Tooltip Component
Setup React Environment
The easiest way to start with React is to use create-react-app. To scaffold your project structure, follow the installation instructions.
npm install -g create-react-app create-react-app my-app cd my-app npm start
Preparation
Open src/App.js andsrc/App.css
- Remove everything inside the App div tag in src/App.js:
<div className="App"> </div>
- Remove the logo.svg import
- Remove the contents of src/App.css
- Remove src/logo.svg
Setup the Tooltip
Smart UI for React is distributed as smart-webcomponents-react NPM package
- Download and install the package.
npm install smart-webcomponents-react
Once installed, import the React Tooltip Component and CSS files in your application and render it
app.js
import 'smart-webcomponents-react/source/styles/smart.default.css'; import React from "react"; import ReactDOM from "react-dom"; import { Button, RepeatButton, ToggleButton, PowerButton } from 'smart-webcomponents-react/button'; import { RadioButton } from 'smart-webcomponents-react/radiobutton'; import { Tooltip } from 'smart-webcomponents-react/tooltip'; class App extends React.Component { constructor(props) { super(props); this.tooltip = React.createRef(); } handleChange(position) { this.tooltip.current.position = position; } componentDidMount() { } render() { return ( <div> <Button id="button">Button</Button> <Tooltip ref={this.tooltip} id="tooltip" selector="button" arrow>This is a tooltip for smartButton</Tooltip> <div class="options"> <h3>Tooltip Position:</h3> <RadioButton enableContainerClick checked onChange={this.handleChange.bind(this, 'top')}>Top</RadioButton> <br /> <RadioButton enableContainerClick onChange={this.handleChange.bind(this, 'bottom')}>Bottom</RadioButton> <br /> <RadioButton enableContainerClick onChange={this.handleChange.bind(this, 'left')}>Left</RadioButton> <br /> <RadioButton enableContainerClick onChange={this.handleChange.bind(this, 'right')}>Right</RadioButton> <br /> </div> </div> ); } } ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.querySelector("#root")); export default App;
Running the React application
Start the app withnpm startand open localhost:3000 in your favorite web browser to see the output.

Getting Started with Vue Tooltip Component
Setup Vue Environment
We will use vue-cli to get started. Let's install vue-cli
npm install -g @vue/cli
Then we can start creating our Vue.js projects with:
vue create my-project
Setup the Tooltip
Open the "my-project" folder and run:
npm install smart-webcomponents
Setup with Vue 3.x
-
Make Vue ignore custom elements defined outside of Vue (e.g., using the Web Components APIs). Otherwise, it will throw a warning about an Unknown custom element, assuming that you forgot to register a global component or misspelled a component name.
Open src/main.js in your favorite text editor and change its contents to the following:
main.js
import { createApp } from 'vue' import App from './App.vue' const app = createApp(App) app.config.isCustomElement = tag => tag.startsWith('smart-'); app.mount('#app')
-
Open src/App.vue in your favorite text editor and change its contents to the following:
App.vue
<template> <div class="vue-root"> <smart-button id="button">Button</smart-button> <smart-tooltip id="tooltip" selector="button" arrow>This is a tooltip for smartButton</smart-tooltip> <div class="options"> <h3>Tooltip Position:</h3> <smart-radio-button enable-container-click checked>Top</smart-radio-button> <br /> <smart-radio-button enable-container-click>Bottom</smart-radio-button> <br /> <smart-radio-button enable-container-click>Left</smart-radio-button> <br /> <smart-radio-button enable-container-click>Right</smart-radio-button> <br /> </div> </div> </template> <script> import { onMounted } from "vue"; import "smart-webcomponents/source/styles/smart.default.css"; import "smart-webcomponents/source/modules/smart.button.js"; import "smart-webcomponents/source/modules/smart.radiobutton.js"; import "smart-webcomponents/source/modules/smart.tooltip.js"; export default { name: "app", setup() { onMounted(() => { const tooltip = document.querySelector("smart-tooltip"); document .getElementsByTagName("smart-radio-button")[0] .addEventListener("change", function() { tooltip.position = "top"; }); document .getElementsByTagName("smart-radio-button")[1] .addEventListener("change", function() { tooltip.position = "bottom"; }); document .getElementsByTagName("smart-radio-button")[2] .addEventListener("change", function() { tooltip.position = "left"; }); document .getElementsByTagName("smart-radio-button")[3] .addEventListener("change", function() { tooltip.position = "right"; }); }); } }; </script> <style> smart-button { position: absolute; top: 25%; left: 25%; } </style>
We can now use the smart-tooltip with Vue 3. Data binding and event handlers will just work right out of the box.
Setup with Vue 2.x
-
Make Vue ignore custom elements defined outside of Vue (e.g., using the Web Components APIs). Otherwise, it will throw a warning about an Unknown custom element, assuming that you forgot to register a global component or misspelled a component name.
Open src/main.js in your favorite text editor and change its contents to the following:
main.js
import Vue from 'vue' import App from './App.vue' Vue.config.productionTip = false Vue.config.ignoredElements = [ 'smart-tooltip' ] new Vue({ render: h => h(App), }).$mount('#app')
-
Open src/App.vue in your favorite text editor and change its contents to the following:
App.vue
<template> <div> <smart-button id="button">Button</smart-button> <smart-tooltip id="tooltip" selector="button" arrow>This is a tooltip for smartButton</smart-tooltip> <div class="options"> <h3>Tooltip Position:</h3> <smart-radio-button enable-container-click checked>Top</smart-radio-button><br/> <smart-radio-button enable-container-click>Bottom</smart-radio-button><br/> <smart-radio-button enable-container-click>Left</smart-radio-button><br/> <smart-radio-button enable-container-click>Right</smart-radio-button><br/> </div> </div> </template> <script> import 'smart-webcomponents/source/modules/smart.button.js'; import 'smart-webcomponents/source/modules/smart.tooltip.js'; import "smart-webcomponents/source/styles/smart.default.css"; export default { name: "app", mounted: function () { document.getElementsByTagName('smart-radio-button')[0].addEventListener('change', function () { document.querySelector('smart-tooltip').position = 'top'; }); document.getElementsByTagName('smart-radio-button')[1].addEventListener('change', function () { document.querySelector('smart-tooltip').position = 'bottom'; }); document.getElementsByTagName('smart-radio-button')[2].addEventListener('change', function () { document.querySelector('smart-tooltip').position = 'left'; }); document.getElementsByTagName('smart-radio-button')[3].addEventListener('change', function () { document.querySelector('smart-tooltip').position = 'right'; }); } }; </script> <style> smart-button { position: absolute; top: 25%; left: 25%; } .options { padding: 20px; background-color: rgba(191,191,191,.15); position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; bottom: 0; width: 260px; } </style>
We can now use the smart-tooltip with Vue. Data binding and event handlers will just work right out of the box.
We have bound the properties of the smart-tooltip to values in our Vue component.
Running the Vue application
