Add small overlays of content to any element for housing secondary information.

Popovers whose both title and content are zero-length are never displayed.

<script>
$(function () {
  $('[data-toggle="popover"]').popover()
})
</script>

Basic usage

Dismiss on next click

Use the focus trigger to dismiss popovers on the next click that the user makes.

Options

Options can be passed via data attributes or JavaScript. For data attributes, append the option name to data-, as in data-animation="".

Name	Type	Default	Description
animation	boolean	true	Apply a CSS fade transition to the popover
container	string | false	false	Appends the popover to a specific element. Example: container: 'body'. This option is particularly useful in that it allows you to position the popover in the flow of the document near the triggering element - which will prevent the popover from floating away from the triggering element during a window resize.
content	string | function	''	Default content value if data-content attribute isn't present. If a function is given, it will be called with its this reference set to the element that the popover is attached to.
delay	number | object	0	Delay showing and hiding the popover (ms) - does not apply to manual trigger type If a number is supplied, delay is applied to both hide/show Object structure is: delay: { "show": 500, "hide": 100 }
html	boolean	false	Insert HTML into the popover. If false, jQuery's text method will be used to insert content into the DOM. Use text if you're worried about XSS attacks.
placement	string | function	'right'	How to position the popover - top | bottom | left | right | auto. When "auto" is specified, it will dynamically reorient the popover. For example, if placement is "auto left", the popover will display to the left when possible, otherwise it will display right. When a function is used to determine the placement, it is called with the popover DOM node as its first argument and the triggering element DOM node as its second. The this context is set to the popover instance.
selector	string	false	If a selector is provided, popover objects will be delegated to the specified targets. In practice, this is used to enable dynamic HTML content to have popovers added. See this and an informative example.
template	string	'<div class="popover" role="tooltip"><div class="arrow"></div><h3 class="popover-title"></h3><div class="popover-content"></div></div>'	Base HTML to use when creating the popover. The popover's title will be injected into the .popover-title. The popover's content will be injected into the .popover-content. .arrow will become the popover's arrow. The outermost wrapper element should have the .popover class.
title	string | function	''	Default title value if title attribute isn't present. If a function is given, it will be called with its this reference set to the element that the popover is attached to.
trigger	string	'click'	How popover is triggered - click | hover | focus | manual. You may pass multiple triggers; separate them with a space. manual cannot be combined with any other trigger.
viewport	string | object | function	{ selector: 'body', padding: 0 }	Keeps the popover within the bounds of this element. Example: viewport: '#viewport' or { "selector": "#viewport", "padding": 0 } If a function is given, it is called with the triggering element DOM node as its only argument. The this context is set to the popover instance.
