Tooltip directive provides advisory information for a component. Tooltip is integrated within various PrimeNG components.
import { TooltipModule } from 'primeng/tooltip';
Position of the tooltip is specified using tooltipPosition attribute. Valid values are top, bottom, right and left. Default position of the tooltip is right.
<input type="text" pInputText pTooltip="Enter your username" tooltipPosition="right" placeholder="Right" />
<input type="text" pInputText pTooltip="Enter your username" tooltipPosition="top" placeholder="Top" />
<input type="text" pInputText pTooltip="Enter your username" tooltipPosition="bottom" placeholder="Bottom" />
<input type="text" pInputText pTooltip="Enter your username" tooltipPosition="left" placeholder="Left" />
Tooltip gets displayed on hover event of its target by default, other option is the focus event to display and blur to hide.
<input type="text" pInputText pTooltip="Enter your username" tooltipEvent="focus" placeholder="focus to display tooltip" />
Tooltip is hidden when mouse leaves the target element, in cases where tooltip needs to be interacted with, set autoHide to false to change the default behavior.
<input type="text" pInputText pTooltip="Enter your username" [autoHide]="false" placeholder="autoHide: false" />
<input type="text" pInputText pTooltip="Enter your username" placeholder="autoHide: true" />
Adding delays to the show and hide events are defined with showDelay and hideDelay options respectively.
<p-button pTooltip="Confirm to proceed" showDelay="1000" hideDelay="300" label="Save" />
Tooltip can use either a string or a TemplateRef.
<p-button [pTooltip]="tooltipContent" severity="secondary" tooltipPosition="bottom" label="Button" />
<ng-template #tooltipContent>
<div class="flex items-center">
<svg width="31" height="33" viewBox="0 0 31 33" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" class="mr-2">

fill="var(--p-primary-color)"
/>
</svg>
<span> <b>PrimeNG</b> rocks! </span>
</div>
</ng-template>
