Angular Tooltip Component

The Tooltip component for Angular represents a widget that displays a popup message. The widget can be used in combination with any HTML element. You just need to call the Tooltip's "add" method and pass the HTML element as parameter.

ng add jqwidgets-ng

Alternatively, you can use the standard installation (Manual Setup)

Adding CSS reference

The following CSS file is available in ../node_modules/jqwidgets-ng/ package folder. This can be referenced in [src/styles.css] using following code.
```
@import 'jqwidgets-ng/jqwidgets/styles/jqx.base.css';
```

"styles": [
	"node_modules/jqwidgets-ng/jqwidgets/styles/jqx.base.css"
]
```
