Tippy.js - Unable to hide a tooltip using the tippy.js documentation function

Question

I'm using tippy.js for tooltips on a website, but it comes to a point when I have to hide them manually with a function (on mobile). However I'm unable to hide it using the built in function hide()

Am I doing something wrong or is the library bugged?

Here's the documentation showing the hide() function. And here's a snippet of my problem.

 var instance = new Tippy('button') var i = 0; $(document).on('keyup', function() { $('.clickcount').html(i); i++; var popper = instance.getPopperElement(document.querySelector('.tippy-popper')); instance.hide(popper) }) 

 button { margin: 20px; }

Any and all help appreciated!

Answer 1

From the documentation :

Find the element's popper reference by calling the method getPopperElement and passing in the element directly:

You need to pass your element to getPopperElement , not the popup.

 var instance = new Tippy('button') var i = 0; $(document).on('keyup', function() { $('.clickcount').html(i); i++; var popper = instance.getPopperElement(document.querySelector('button')); instance.hide(popper) }) 

 button { margin: 20px; }
