Wijmo UI for the Web
AngularJS and wijtooltip
Wijmo User Guide > AngularJS Directives > AngularJS and wijtooltip

In this Angular getting started guide, you'll learn how to use wijtooltip in an HTML project using HTML markup, jQuery script, and AngularJS directives.

For more complex samples that have the controller and model in separate files, see the AngularJS Directive Gallery on our web site.

  1. Add the following code and save the document with an .html extension to create a new HTML page in your favorite text editor.
  2. Add links to the dependencies to your HTML page within the <head> tags. Find the latest dependencies in the content delivery network (CDN) file at wijmo cdn. Along with our usual references, we add two script references for Angular that must come after the jQuery references, so they are the last two lines:
    • For AngularJS itself.
    • For Wijmo's Angular javascript integration library.

    Drop down and copy references to paste inside the head tags

    References
    Copy Code
    <!-- jQuery -->
    <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.11.0/jquery-ui.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    
    <!--Theme-->

    <script src="http://cdn.wijmo.com/jquery.wijmo-pro.all.3.20183.140.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

    <script src="http://cdn.wijmo.com/interop/angular.wijmo.3.20183.140.min.js"></script>
  3. Within the <head> tags, below the references, add the following script to set the app to use Wijmo, and to create a simple controller with a $scope parameter to control data context.
    Script
    Copy Code
    <script type="text/javascript">
        var app = angular.module("MyApp", ["wijmo"]);
        function MyController($scope) { }
    
            }
    
    </script>
  4. Add the following markup within the <body> tags to create the widget. To see how this is done in jQuery without Angular, see Tooltip Quick Start. We use a <label> element that contains the wij-tooltip directive to create the widget, and set several options as attributes within the element:
    • Set the closeBehavior option (close-behavior directive) to auto so that the tooltip closes automatically when the mouse is no longer hovering.
    • Use the title option for setting the text to be displayed on the tooltip.
    Markup
    Copy Code
    <button wij-tooltip title="Hover on the text below" close-behaviour="auto">Hover over see your first tooltip</button>
    <br/><br/>
    
    <label wij-tooltip title="Hyper Text Markup Language" close-behaviour="auto"> HTML</label>
    
  5. Save your HTML file and open it in a browser. The widget appears like the following live widget.
