How to position a Bootstrap popover ?

However, a popover can contain much more content than a tooltip.

Popovers is the third-party library Popper.js for positioning the element. The library popper.min.js must be included before bootstrap.js

Syntax:

$(function () {
 $('[data-toggle="popover"]').popover()
})
