vue-follow-tooltip

Tiny tooltip directive for Vue 3

Lets you create tooltips that follow cursor

Why

Simple

No dependencies. No under-the-hood libraries. Just a couple of Vanilla JS objects

Customizable

There are a few things you can customize with options

No need to override default styles, because there aren't any. Just add your CSS as usual

Installation

NPM

npm i vue-follow-tooltip

import Tooltip from 'vue-follow-tooltip'

CDN

<script src="https://unpkg.com/vue-follow-tooltip@latest"></script>

Usage

// install it with use()

app.use(Tooltip)

// OR register the directive manually

app.directive('tooltip', Tooltip)

<button v-tooltip="'Look! It\'s a button, let\'s push it!">DON'T PUSH</button>

Options

You can pass options like this:

app.use(Tooltip, {
   delay: 500,
   center: true,
   offsetX: 0,
   offsetY: 20
})

The values in the example are the default values

Property names are pretty self-explanatory

Styles

The tooltip gets a class .tooltip

Use it to apply styles to it like this:

.tooltip {
   background: rgba(1, 1, 1, 0.7);
   padding: 10px;
   border-radius: 3px;
   color: #fbfbfb;
   font-family: sans-serif;
   transition: opacity 0.3s;
}

Styling guidelines

• There are no default styles, however, if you specify top, left, opacity & position they will have no effect
• Dont use transition: all .., it will mess with how the tooltip follows the cursor
