someButton.addEventListener('mouseenter', () => {

});

someButton.addEventListener('mouseleave', () => {
  tooltip.hide();
});

In example above we show tooltip near some button by "mouseenter" and hide by "mouseleave". For this events you can also use the onHover() decorator:

import Tooltip from 'codex.tooltip';

const tooltip = new Tooltip();
const someButton = document.getElementById('some-button');

tooltip.onHover(someButton, 'Button helper', {
  placement: 'right',
  delay: 150
