Popovers

How it works

Things to know when using the popover plugin:

• Popovers rely on the 3rd party library Popper for positioning. You must include popper.min.js before bootstrap.js or use bootstrap.bundle.min.js / bootstrap.bundle.js which contains Popper in order for popovers to work!
• Popovers require the tooltip plugin as a dependency.
• Popovers are opt-in for performance reasons, so you must initialize them yourself.
• Zero-length title and content values will never show a popover.
• Specify container: 'body' to avoid rendering problems in more complex components (like our input groups, button groups, etc).
• Triggering popovers on hidden elements will not work.
• Popovers for .disabled or disabled elements must be triggered on a wrapper element.
• When triggered from anchors that wrap across multiple lines, popovers will be centered between the anchors' overall width. Use .text-nowrap on your <a>s to avoid this behavior.
• Popovers must be hidden before their corresponding elements have been removed from the DOM.
• Popovers can be triggered thanks to an element inside a shadow DOM.

Four directions

Four options are available: top, right, bottom, and left aligned. Directions are mirrored when using Bootstrap in RTL.

Dismiss on next click

Use the focus trigger to dismiss popovers on the user’s next click of a different element than the toggle element.
