Getting Started with the Kendo UI for Angular Tooltip

The Tooltip represents a popup with information that is related to an UI element and which is displayed when this UI element is focused or hovered over.

Basic Usage

The following example demonstrates the Tooltip in action.

Installation

Either use the quick setup (Angular CLI) or manually add the package.

Quick Setup with Angular CLI

Angular CLI supports the addition of packages through the ng add command which executes in one step the set of otherwise individually needed commands.

Copy Code    ng add @progress/kendo-angular-tooltip

Manual Setup

1. Download and install the package.

   Copy Codenpm install --save @progress/kendo-angular-tooltip @progress/kendo-angular-l10n @progress/kendo-angular-popup @progress/kendo-angular-common @progress/kendo-licensing

2. Once installed, import the TooltipModule in your application root or feature module.

   Copy Codeimport { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
   import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
   import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';
   
   import { TooltipModule } from '@progress/kendo-angular-tooltip';
   import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
   
   @NgModule({
       bootstrap:    [AppComponent],
       declarations: [AppComponent],
       imports:      [BrowserModule, BrowserAnimationsModule, TooltipModule]
   })
   export class AppModule {}
