`hint.css` is written as a pure CSS resource using which you can create cool accessible tooltips for your web app. It does not rely on JavaScript but rather uses **aria-label**/**data-* attribute**, **pseudo elements**, **content property** and **CSS3 transitions** to create the tooltips. Also it uses **BEM** naming convention particularly for the modifiers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Get Started
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Get the library using one of the following ways:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. **GitHub**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Full build
|
||
|
|
- [unminified] : https://raw.github.com/chinchang/hint.css/master/hint.css
|
||
|
|
- [minified] : https://raw.github.com/chinchang/hint.css/master/hint.min.css
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Base build *(Does not include color themes and fancy effects)*
|
||
|
|
- [unminified] : https://raw.github.com/chinchang/hint.css/master/hint.base.css
|
||
|
|
- [minified] : https://raw.github.com/chinchang/hint.css/master/hint.base.min.css
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. **Bower** : `bower install hint.css`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. **npm**: `npm install --save hint.css`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. **CDN**: [https://www.jsdelivr.com/package/npm/hint.css](https://www.jsdelivr.com/package/npm/hint.css) or [https://cdnjs.com/libraries/hint.css](https://cdnjs.com/libraries/hint.css)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now include the library in the ``HEAD`` tag of your page:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```html
|
||
|
|
<link rel="stylesheet" href="hint.css" />
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
or
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```html
|
||
|
|
<link rel="stylesheet" href="hint.min.css" />
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now, all you need to do is give your element any position class and tooltip text using the `aria-label` attribute.
|
||
|
|
Note, if you don't want to use `aria-label` attribute, you can also specify the tooltip text using the `data-hint` attribute, but its recommended to use `aria-label` in support of accessibility. [Read more about aria-label](https://webaccessibility.withgoogle.com/unit?unit=6&lesson=10).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```html
|
||
|
|
Hello Sir, <span class="hint--bottom" aria-label="Thank you!">hover me.</span>
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Use it with other available modifiers in various combinations. Available modifiers:
|
||
|
|
- *Colors* - `hint--error`, `hint--info`, `hint--warning`, `hint--success`
|
||
|
|
- *Sizes* - `hint--small`, `hint--medium`, `hint--large`
|
||
|
|
- `hint--always`
|
||
|
|
- `hint--rounded`
|
||
|
|
- `hint--no-animate`
|
||
|
|
- `hint--bounce`
|
||
|
|
- `hint-no-arrow`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Upgrading from v1.x
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are already using v1.x, you may need to tweak certain position classes because of the way tooltips are positioned in v2.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Changing the prefix for class names
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Don't like BEM naming (`hint--`) or want to use your own prefix for the class names?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Simply update `src/hint-variables.scss` and change the `$hintPrefix` variable.
