JavaScript Tooltips and Popovers with Tippy.js

When working with modern web applications, you often need to display tooltips on elements that are added or updated dynamically after the initial page load. Tippy.js allows you to easily attach tooltips to static elements, but to ensure tooltips remain in sync with a changing DOM, you need to use dynamic initialization strategies.

Dynamic initialization means you must call tippy on new elements as they are created. This can be handled directly by invoking tippy whenever you programmatically add new elements, as shown in the example above. However, if DOM changes are frequent or originate from various sources, it is more robust to use a Mutation Observer. A MutationObserver lets you monitor a part of the DOM for changes and automatically initialize tooltips on any new elements that match your criteria.

By combining direct initialization and mutation observers, you ensure that every new or updated element receives the correct tooltip behavior. This keeps your tooltips consistent and usable, even as your interface changes in real time.
