Tooltip

Used to display small texts on top of map layers.

Usage example

marker.bindTooltip("my tooltip text").openTooltip();

Note about tooltip offset. Leaflet takes two options in consideration for computing tooltip offseting:

  • the offset Tooltip option: it defaults to [0, 0], and it's specific to one tooltip. Add a positive x offset to move the tooltip to the right, and a positive y offset to move it to the bottom. Negatives will move to the left and top.
  • the tooltipAnchor Icon option: this will only be considered for Marker. You should adapt this value if you use a custom icon.

Creation

Factory Description
L.tooltip(<Tooltip options> options?, <Layer> source?) Instantiates a Tooltip object given an optional options object that describes its appearance and location and an optional source object that is used to tag the tooltip with a reference to the Layer to which it refers.

Options

pane String 'tooltipPane' Map pane where the tooltip will be added.
offset Point Point(0, 0) Optional offset of the tooltip position.

Methods

Method Returns Description
bindPopup(<String|HTMLElement|Function|Popup> content, <Popup options> options?) this

Binds a popup to the layer with the passed content and sets up the neccessary event listeners. If a Function is passed it will receive the layer as the first argument and should return a String or HTMLElement.

unbindPopup() this

Removes the popup previously bound with bindPopup.

openPopup(<LatLng> latlng?) this

Opens the bound popup at the specificed latlng or at the default popup anchor if no latlng is passed.

closePopup() this

Closes the popup bound to this layer if it is open.

togglePopup() this

Opens or closes the popup bound to this layer depending on its current state.

isPopupOpen() boolean

Returns true if the popup bound to this layer is currently open.

setPopupContent(<String|HTMLElement|Popup> content) this

Sets the content of the popup bound to this layer.

getPopup() Popup

Returns the popup bound to this layer.

Method Returns Description
bindTooltip(<String|HTMLElement|Function|Tooltip> content, <Tooltip options> options?) this

Binds a tooltip to the layer with the passed content and sets up the neccessary event listeners. If a Function is passed it will receive the layer as the first argument and should return a String or HTMLElement.

unbindTooltip() this

Removes the tooltip previously bound with bindTooltip.

openTooltip(<LatLng> latlng?) this

Opens the bound tooltip at the specificed latlng or at the default tooltip anchor if no latlng is passed.

closeTooltip() this

Closes the tooltip bound to this layer if it is open.

toggleTooltip() this

Opens or closes the tooltip bound to this layer depending on its current state.

isTooltipOpen() boolean

Returns true if the tooltip bound to this layer is currently open.

setTooltipContent(<String|HTMLElement|Tooltip> content) this

Sets the content of the tooltip bound to this layer.

getTooltip() Tooltip

Returns the tooltip bound to this layer.

Method Returns Description
addTo(<Map> map) this

Adds the layer to the given map

remove() this

Removes the layer from the map it is currently active on.

removeFrom(<Map> map) this

Removes the layer from the given map

getPane(<String> name?) HTMLElement

Returns the HTMLElement representing the named pane on the map. If name is omitted, returns the pane for this layer.

Method Returns Description
on(<String> type, <Function> fn, <Object> context?) this

Adds a listener function (fn) to a particular event type of the object. You can optionally specify the context of the listener (object the this keyword will point to). You can also pass several space-separated types (e.g. 'click dblclick').

on(<Object> eventMap) this

Adds a set of type/listener pairs, e.g. {click: onClick, mousemove: onMouseMove}

off(<String> type, <Function> fn?, <Object> context?) this

Removes a previously added listener function. If no function is specified, it will remove all the listeners of that particular event from the object. Note that if you passed a custom context to on, you must pass the same context to off in order to remove the listener.

off(<Object> eventMap) this

Removes a set of type/listener pairs.

off() this

Removes all listeners to all events on the object.

fire(<String> type, <Object> data?, <Boolean> propagate?) this

Fires an event of the specified type. You can optionally provide an data object — the first argument of the listener function will contain its properties. The event might can optionally be propagated to event parents.

listens(<String> type) Boolean

Returns true if a particular event type has any listeners attached to it.

once() this

Behaves as on(…), except the listener will only get fired once and then removed.

addEventParent(<Evented> obj) this

Adds an event parent - an Evented that will receive propagated events

removeEventParent(<Evented> obj) this

Removes an event parent, so it will stop receiving propagated events

addEventListener() this

Alias to on(…)

removeEventListener() this

Alias to off(…)

clearAllEventListeners() this

Alias to off()

addOneTimeEventListener() this

Alias to once(…)

fireEvent() this

Alias to fire(…)

hasEventListeners() Boolean

Alias to listens(…)
