##### Example - Showing tooltip

var tooltipInstance = Tooltip.create(document.getElementById('my-tooltip-trigger'));
tooltipInstance.show();
```

#### Options

| Option                   | Default Selector                | Description                                                                            |
|--------------------------|---------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `selectorInit`           | `[data-tooltip-trigger]`        | The CSS selector to find the tooltip.
| `objMenuOffset`          | `{ top: 10, left: 0 }`          | An object containing the top and left offset values in px

##### Example - Changing menu position by 8 pixels vertically

```javascript
// `#my-tooltip-trigger` is an element with `[data-tooltip-trigger]` attribute
Tooltip.create(document.getElementById('my-tooltip-trigger'), {
  objMenuOffset(menuBody, direction) {
    const { objMenuOffset: offset } = Tooltip.options;
    const { top, left } = typeof offset !== 'function' ? offset:
      offset(menuBody, direction);
    return {
      top: top + 8,
      left,
    };
  },
});
```

| Event Name                  | Description                                         |
|-----------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------|
| 'floating-menu-beingshown'  | The custom event fired before the menu gets open.   |
| 'floating-menu-shown'       | The custom event fired after the menu gets open.    |
| 'floating-menu-beinghidden' | The custom event fired before the menu gets closed. |
| 'floating-menu-hidden'      | The custom event fired after the menu gets closed.  |

##### Example - Preventing click-to-open tooltip from being closed in a certain condition

```javascript
document.addEventListener('floating-menu-beinghidden', function (evt) {
  if (myApplication.shouldTooltipKeptOpen(evt.target)) {
    evt.preventDefault();
  }
});
```

##### Example - Notifying events of all click-to-open tooltips being hidden to an analytics library

```javascript
document.addEventListener('floating-menu-hidden', function (evt) {
  myAnalyticsLibrary.send({
    action: 'Tooltip hidden',
    id: evt.target.id,
  });
});
```

### Interactive tooltip

| Selector                     | Description                        |
|------------------------------|------------------------------------|
| .bx--tooltip__trigger--bold  | Modifier class to make label bold. |

#### HTML

By default, the tooltip (`.bx--tooltip`) goes right under `<body>`. You can change the behavior by adding `data-floating-menu-container` to one of the DOM ancestors of the tooltip's original location. For example, if you have HTML structure like below, the menu body will go under the second `<div>`:

```html
<body>
  <div>
    <div data-floating-menu-container>
      <div>
        <div class="bx--tooltip__label" ...>
          Tooltip label
          <div tabindex="0" data-tooltip-trigger data-tooltip-target="#unique-tooltip" class="bx--tooltip__trigger" ...>
            ...
          </div>
        </div>
        <div id="unique-tooltip" data-floating-menu-direction="bottom" class="bx--tooltip" ...>
          <span class="bx--tooltip__caret"></span>
          ...
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</body>
```

### Definition tooltip

This tooltip variation does not use any JavaScript and should be used to define a word. For anything more advanced please use the main variation.

| Selector                        | Description                                            |
|---------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------|
| .bx--tooltip--definition__top    | A simple tooltip that is displayed above the trigger. |
| .bx--tooltip--definition__bottom | A simple tooltip that is displayed below the trigger. |


### Icon tooltip
