[Tooltip] Allow global configuration of position #14862
Description
Please describe the feature you would like to request.
Allow global configuration of tooltip position.
What is the use-case or motivation for this proposal?
We use many tooltips in our application and it's tedious and prone to errors to have to define matTooltipPosition="above" in all instances.
Is there anything else we should know?
As far as I can tell, the MAT_TOOLTIP_DEFAULT_OPTIONS interface only allows setting delays and not the position.
From the source:
/** Default `matTooltip` options that can be overridden. */
export interface MatTooltipDefaultOptions {
showDelay: number;
hideDelay: number;
touchendHideDelay: number;
}
