Name	description

after-enter	will be called when opened
before-leave	will be called before close animation
after-leave	will be called when closed
toggled(isOpened:Boolean)	emitted when gets opened or closed. Alternative to use two-way is-opened prop

Positioning

There are two ways of positioning. The default is as a child of the parent element, the other posibility is on body.

• The parent positioning can be problematic when you have an overflow:hidden as a parent to the nearest element with position:absolute|relative|fixed and the tooltip is overflowing.
• the body positioning can be problematic when the parent is moving relative to body or when you depend on inheritance of styles.

Transition

You can provide a vue transition like this:

Vue.transition("fade",{
  // your transition
})
// or in the instance:
transitions: {
  fade: {
    // your transition
  }
}
// usage:
template: "<tooltip transition='fade'></tooltip>"

You can access several properties in your enter hook:

enter: function(el,cb) {
  // in which direction the tooltip will open. one of s, n, w or e
  this.direction
  // style properties as numbers
  this.top
  this.left
  this.width
  this.height
  this.offset // will be added on or subtracted of top or left depending on direction
}

see dev/transition for a working example.
