Tooltips > HAML > Replace Bootstrap Tooltips with GlTooltip component
## Instructions
To migrate a Bootstrap tooltip API call to the `GlTooltip` API, import the `GlTooltip` API equivalent where you need it:
```javascript
// Import the GlTooltip API you will use in the JavaScript file
import { hide } from `~/tooltips`; // This method hides a tooltip programmatically
```
The following table maps the Bootstrap API calls to the GlTooltip equivalents. You can pass either an iterable object with DOM Elements or a jQuery object. Ideally, you should remove the jQuery wrapper and pass the DOM Elements directly.
| Bootstrap | GlTooltip |
| ------ | ------ |
| `$el.tooltip({})` | `initTooltips({})`|
| `$el.tooltip('_fixTitle')` | `fixTitle($el)` |
| `$el.tooltip('enable')` | `enable($el)` |
| `$el.tooltip('disable')` | `disable($el)` |
| `$el.tooltip('hide')` | `hide($el)` |
| `$el.tooltip('show')` | `show($el)` |
| `$el.tooltip('dispose')` | `dispose($el)` |
