Leaflet.Tooltip

Movable tooltips for leaflet. Requires Leaflet@^1.0.0 (support for leaflet@0.7.x will come later). Tooltip styling comes from Bootstrap. See the demo.

API

In leaflet@1.0.0 it's much like L.Popup, a layer, so you can .addLayer(tooltip) and .removeLayer(tooltip). Also it can have optional reference to source, in the ._source field, you can do what yout want with it in subclasses, for instance, make the tooltip follow a draggable marker.

• Constructor
  • new L.Tooltip(options, source)
  • L.tooltip(options, source)
• Options:
  • options.position on of 'left', 'right', 'top', 'bottom'
  • options.className Container class name default: 'tooltip'
  • options.arrowClass Arrow class name, default 'tooltip-arrow'
  • options.contentClass Contewnt class, default 'tooltip-inner'
  • options.subtextClass Subtext, default 'tooltip-subtext'
  • options.showClass Class name to show/hide the tooltip
  • options.noWrap Adds the 'nowrap' class to container, too keep it in one line, default: false
  • options.wrapScreen Whether to change position on screen edges, defaults to true
  • options.offset Tooltip offset from the mouse position, default: [10, 5]
• .show(), .hide()
• .setLatLng() Use coordinate to position the tooltip
• .updatePosition(point) Use layerPoint to update the position - recommended for use with mousemove event
• .setContent('text')
• .setSubtext('subtext')

Example

 
var bounds = map.getBounds().pad(0.25); // slightly out of screen
var tooltip = L.tooltip({
  position: 'left',
  noWrap: true
})
  .addTo(map)
  .setContent('Start drawing to see tooltip change')
  .setLatLng(new L.LatLng(bounds.getNorth(), bounds.getCenter().lng));
 
map
  .on('mousemove', updateTooltip)
  .on('editable:drawing:start', function(evt) {
    var text = getTooltipText(evt.layer);
    tooltip.setContent(text);
  })
  .on('editable:drawing:clicked', function(evt) {
    tooltip
      .setContent(getTooltipText(evt.layer, true))
      .updatePosition(evt.layerPoint);
  })
  .on('editable:drawing:end', function(evt) {
    tooltip.setContent('Start drawing to see tooltip change');
  });
 
 
function getTooltipText(layer, started) {
  if (layer instanceof L.Rectangle) {
    return 'Click and drag to draw the rectangle';
  } else if (layer instanceof L.Polygon || layer instanceof L.Polyline) {
    if (started) {
      return 'Click last point to <span style="color: #B3E5FC">finish</span> drawing';
    } else {
      return 'Click on the map to start drawing';
    }
  } else if (layer instanceof L.Marker) {
    return 'Click on the map to put the marker';
  } else if (layer instanceof L.Circle) {
    return 'Click and drag to draw a circle';
  }
}
 
function updateTooltip(evt) {
  tooltip.updatePosition(evt.layerPoint);
}
