JavaScript/jQuery Tooltip - Customize the Content

Specifying the Content Template

The template implementation depends on the used framework or library. Examples of jQuery, Angular, and ASP.NET MVC are presented below. They show how to create a template consisting of static (text) and dynamic (the Switch UI component) content.

JavaScript
HTML
  • $(function() {
  • $("#tooltipContainer").dxTooltip({
  • target: "#image",
  • showEvent: 'dxhoverstart',
  • contentTemplate: function (contentElement) {
  • contentElement.append(
  • $("<p />").text("Static content"),
  • $("<div />").attr("id", "switchContainer").dxSwitch({
  • // The "Switch" UI component is configured here
  • })
  • )
  • }
  • });
  • });
  • <img id="image" src="https://url/to/an/image" />
  • <div id="tooltipContainer"></div>

Switching Templates On the Fly

If you need to render different templates depending on a specific condition, define them inside the Tooltip container using the DevExtreme dxTemplate markup component. You can switch the templates on the fly by changing the contentTemplate property's value.

HTML
JavaScript
CSS
  • <img id="image" src="https://url/to/an/image" />
  • <div id="buttonContainer"></div>
  • <div id="tooltipContainer">
  • <div data-options="dxTemplate: { name: 'template1' }">
  • <p>First template</p>
  • </div>
  • <div data-options="dxTemplate: { name: 'template2' }">
  • <p>Second template</p>
  • </div>
  • </div>
  • $(function() {
  • const tooltip = $("#tooltipContainer").dxTooltip({
  • target: "#image",
  • showEvent: 'dxhoverstart',
  • hideEvent: 'dxhoverend',
  • contentTemplate: 'template1'
  • }).dxTooltip("instance");
  •  
  • $("#buttonContainer").dxButton({
  • text: "Change the Template",
  • onClick: function (e) {
  • const currentTemplate = tooltip.option("contentTemplate");
  • tooltip.option("contentTemplate", currentTemplate == "template1" ? "template2" : "template1");
  • }
  • });
  • });
  • #buttonContainer {
  • display: block;
  • width: 200px
  • }
