Vue-Custom-Tooltip is a customizable, reusable, and reactive tooltip component for Vue 2 & 3 projects. It can also be used with VuePress.

In-Component Initialization:
Alternatively, you can initialize the component directly within a single file in your project. However, note that this method does not allow for customizing the plugin options.
Via CDN:
You can also load the tooltip component via a CDN by importing Vue first.
Manual / Local Import:
If you prefer a manual or local import, you can download the correct version of dist/vue-custom-tooltip.min.js based on your Vue version and include it in your project file after importing Vue.
VuePress (Global):
For VuePress projects, a standalone plugin is available that wraps the tooltip component. You can install it through the .vuepress/config.js or .vuepress/theme/index.js file. Further instructions can be found in the vuepress-plugin-custom-tooltip repository.

The installation process differs depending on the Vue version used, and there are multiple ways to initialize the component.
