Simplified tooltip experience

tooltip

Information

I think, it would be very nice to add a version of tooltip that can be used as a simple string input directive, without declaration of nested components and additional elements for every tooltip. The solution could work as the Angular Material tooltip: https://material.angular.io/components/tooltip/overview. For most use cases where advanced tooltip customizations are not required this solution would be good enough and include much less code/boilerplate. Directive input could be used to pass a template, innerHtml content or simple string

@marcindz88 is this what you are looking for https://github.com/goetzrobin/spartan/pull/232? It's not added to the docs, maybe that would be good to add an example with tooltip passing just a string.

[marcindz88]

Yes, this works as expected, I also found an example in the story-book, but the docs seem not to include it. Also, it would be nice to be able to set input tooltipContentClasses, which for some reason is not passed down from hlmTooltipTrigger. I think also passing down a simple HTML like or a link would be useful (just a change to innerHtml binding)

I could potentially create a PR for this if somebody accepts these ideas (including docs update, tooltipContentClasses, innerHtml support)

@marcindz88 I am on board with everything but the innerHtml for now. I just want to double check we are not introducing some security risk here, or at least make it clear that you're using innerHTML, e.g. if you render some user input make sure you're not blindly rendering the content

[marcindz88]

@goetzrobin AFAIK, innerhtml is safe unless sanitation is bypassed on purpose, by the developer. More about it here: https://blog.angular-university.io/angular-innerhtml/
