## Component Overview

### Quick Navigation

| Component | Purpose | Package | Files |
|-----------|---------|---------|-------|
| **Dialog** | Modal/modeless dialog with templates | ej2-popups | 8 |
| **Predefined Dialog** | Alert/Confirm/Prompt via DialogUtility | ej2-popups | 7 |
| **Tooltip** | Contextual popup on hover/focus/click | ej2-popups | 9 |

**Package:** `@syncfusion/ej2-popups`

---

## Dialog Component

**Purpose:** Displays content in an overlay window above the main page, supporting modal/modeless modes, custom templates, action buttons, animations, drag, resize, and built-in utility dialogs (alert/confirm).

**Package:** `@syncfusion/ej2-popups`

### Quick Example

```typescript
import { Dialog } from '@syncfusion/ej2-popups';
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

enableRipple(true);

let dialog: Dialog = new Dialog({
  header: 'Welcome',
  content: 'This is a simple dialog.',
  showCloseIcon: true,
  width: '350px',
  target: document.body,
  buttons: [
    {
      buttonModel: { content: 'OK', isPrimary: true },
      click: () => { dialog.hide(); }
    }
  ]
});
dialog.appendTo('#dialog');
```

## Predefined Dialog Component

**Purpose:** Imperative alert, confirm, and prompt dialogs opened via the `DialogUtility` class. No component instance required—perfect for simple notifications and user confirmations.

**Package:** `@syncfusion/ej2-popups`

### Quick Example - Alert

```typescript
import { DialogUtility } from '@syncfusion/ej2-popups';

let dialogObj: any = DialogUtility.alert({
  title: 'Low Battery',
  content: '10% of battery remaining',
  width: '250px',
  okButton: { click: () => dialogObj.hide() }
});
```

### Quick Example - Confirm

```typescript
import { DialogUtility } from '@syncfusion/ej2-popups';

let dialogObj: any = DialogUtility.confirm({
  title: 'Delete File',
  content: 'Are you sure you want to delete this file?',
  okButton: { 
    text: 'Delete',
    click: () => { /* delete logic */ dialogObj.hide(); }
  },
  cancelButton: { 
    text: 'Cancel',
    click: () => dialogObj.hide() 
  }
});
```

### Quick Example - Prompt

```typescript
import { DialogUtility } from '@syncfusion/ej2-popups';

let dialogObj: any = DialogUtility.confirm({
  title: 'Enter Name',
  content: '<input id="nameInput" class="e-input" placeholder="Your name" />',
  okButton: {
    text: 'Submit',
    click: () => {
      const name: string = (document.getElementById('nameInput') as HTMLInputElement).value;
      console.log('Name:', name);
      dialogObj.hide();
    }
  }
});
```

## Tooltip Component

**Purpose:** Displays contextual popup information when users hover, focus, or click on target elements. Supports 12 positions, multiple open modes, animations, custom content, and full accessibility.

**Package:** `@syncfusion/ej2-popups`

### Quick Example

```typescript
import { Tooltip } from '@syncfusion/ej2-popups';

let tooltip: Tooltip = new Tooltip({
  content: 'Tooltip Content',
  position: 'TopCenter'
});
tooltip.appendTo('#target');
```

### Quick Example - Multiple Targets

```typescript
import { Tooltip } from '@syncfusion/ej2-popups';

let tooltip: Tooltip = new Tooltip({
  target: '.e-info',
  position: 'RightCenter'
});
tooltip.appendTo('#container');
```

**HTML:**

```html
<div id="container">
  <input type="text" class="e-info" title="Please enter your name" />
  <input type="email" class="e-info" title="Enter a valid email address" />
</div>
```
