hint.css is written as a pure CSS resource using which you can create cool accessible tooltips for your web app. It does not rely on JavaScript but rather uses aria-label/data-\* attribute, pseudo elements, content property and CSS3 transitions to create the tooltips. Also it uses BEM naming convention particularly for the modifiers.
Get the library using one of the following ways:
1. GitHub
Full build
- [unminified] : https://raw.github.com/chinchang/hint.css/master/hint.css
- [minified] : https://raw.github.com/chinchang/hint.css/master/hint.min.css
Base build _(Does not include color themes and fancy effects)_
- [unminified] : https://raw.github.com/chinchang/hint.css/master/hint.base.css
- [minified] : https://raw.github.com/chinchang/hint.css/master/hint.base.min.css
2. Bower : bower install hint.css
3. npm: npm install --save hint.css
4. CDN: https://www.jsdelivr.com/package/npm/hint.css or https://cdnjs.com/libraries/hint.css
Now include the library in the HEAD tag of your page:
``html`
or
`html`
Now, all you need to do is give your element any position class and tooltip text using the aria-label attribute.aria-label
Note, if you don't want to use attribute, you can also specify the tooltip text using the data-hint attribute, but its recommended to use aria-label in support of accessibility. Read more about aria-label.
`html`
Hello Sir, hover me.
Use it with other available modifiers in various combinations. Available modifiers:
- _Colors_ - hint--error, hint--info, hint--warning, hint--success
- _Sizes_ - , hint--medium, hint--large, hint--fit

If you are already using v1.x, you may need to tweak certain position classes because of the way tooltips are positioned in v2.
Don't like BEM naming (hint--) or want to use your own prefix for the class names?
Simply update src/hint-variables.scss and change the $hintPrefix variable.

This doesn't make use of a lot of BEM methodology but big thanks to @csswizardry, @necolas for their awesome articles on BEM and to @joshnh through whose work I came to know about it :)
