I want to show md-tooltip on a text element when the length of text exceeds specific length.

[amaneer94]

Bug, feature request, or proposal:

I want to show dotted end text with fixed length but with tooltip when it exceeds specific text length.

.mat-tooltip {
  max-width: 50px;
  /* or */
  /* width: 50px; */
  white-space: nowrap;
  overflow: hidden;
  text-overflow: ellipsis;
}

looks good.

also can we show material2 tooltip conditionally?

because now it seems to be an attribute of element.

you can call show on it as long as it as bound I believe. tooltip.show()

#3578 will add in the ability to enable/disable the tooltip.
