Accepted Answer

No, qTip2 is no longer actively maintained as per the README warning. Developers should consider newer libraries like Tippy.js for ongoing updates and support.

Question 2

How to install qTip2 using npm?

You can install qTip2 via npm with 'npm install qtip2', but note that it's unmaintained. Include jQuery separately and follow the documentation for setup, though compatibility with modern build tools may vary.

Question 3

qTip2 vs Tippy.js: which is better for modern projects?

Accepted Answer

qTip2 is feature-rich but unmaintained and jQuery-dependent, while Tippy.js is actively developed, framework-agnostic, and offers better performance with modern browsers. For new projects, Tippy.js is generally recommended.

Question 4

What browsers does qTip2 support?

Accepted Answer

qTip2 supports Chrome 8+, Firefox 3+, IE 6+, Opera 9+, and Safari 2+, including iOS 4+. However, this focus on legacy browsers may not align with current web standards.

Question 5

Can I use qTip2 with React or Vue?

Accepted Answer

While possible with jQuery integration, it's not ideal due to compatibility issues and overhead. Modern projects should prefer React or Vue-specific tooltip libraries for better integration and performance.

Question 6

How to customize tooltip styles in qTip2?

Use CSS and the API options to modify colors, positions, and tips; the documentation provides examples, but since the project is unmaintained, styles might not work seamlessly with newer CSS features.
