What happened to tooltip.template option?

[payitforwardnow]

According to the "latest" documentation there should be a way to define a tooltip template. Unfortunately, every time I try to define a template for tooltips I get an error that template is not a valid option for tooltip. I verified I have the latest version

• @Version 5.1.0
• @Date 2019-08-02T15:25:33Z

According to the new documentation found here https://visjs.github.io/vis-timeline/docs/timeline/

"tooltip.template | Function | none | A template function used to generate the contents of the tooltip. The function is called by the Timeline with an item's data as the first argument, and the edited data as the second argument. It must return HTML code, a string or a template as result. See section Templates for a detailed explanation. See also: tooltipOnItemUpdateTime.template"

This is what I see when I try to use the documented option.

Unknown option detected: "template" in options = { tooltip: { template }}

Am I missing something? It appears that the template is supposed to be new; however, it doesn't appear to be implemented as of 2019-08-02.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

@visjs/maintainer Looks like we are missing an example here!?

Her is a working (or to more precise non-working) example:

Looks like a bug to me 😢

[mojoaxel]

This is not a bug! Here is a working example:

I also created #94 to add an example that demonstrates this feature.

OK I just saw the last example (I thought they were the same) with the tooltip.template; however, I still get the error I reported. I'm using vis-timeline with React. Maybe I posted this issue in the wrong forum. If I did I apologize. Thank you for your time and consideration.

I checked the file vis-timeline-graph2d.min.js which doesn't accept

tooltip.template. I must be using the wrong version?
@Version 5.1.0
@Date 2019-08-02T15:25:33Z

Which version should I be using? Better yet, which version corresponds to the official documentation I referenced? Thank you.

Which version should I be using?

Sorry! Our mistake! Tooltip templates support comes with the upcoming v6 release.

[payitforwardnow]

OK But I'm still looking for current/V5 documentation. I spent a lot of time referring to the "official" documentation before I posted here. I thought that was what I was supposed to do so I didn't waste anyone's time (but apparently mine) :)

So the "current" online official documentation is for an "upcoming" release V6? Is that the typical practice? Can someone direct me to the actual "current/V5" documentation? How can I tell from the documentation what's current and what's "upcoming"? I have other questions; however, I don't know if its a version issue or an actual issue.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sorry for the confusion! This is really very unsatisfying.
We only have this problem because we did not release the version 6 yet 😞

Normally all changes get released immediately so the docs and the code fit together.
I think the best way to solve this issue is to release the v6 as soon as possible.

[Thomaash]

Or create v6 branch from current master for development and revert the master branch to add2f8a.

May I make a suggestion? In your documentation, if its not too much trouble, could you identify V6 options somehow so users know if what they are looking at is available based on the version they have? The same problem apparently exists for subgroupOrder. I assume this is a "V6 only" option as well. If possible could someone please assist me in determining how to reverse the sort order of nested groups? I've tried using the groupOrder option (which appears to be in both V5 and V6). Unfortunately that isn't working. The groups are scrambled. I will investigate more if necessary. I was hoping there might be a quick fix. Thank you.

[mojoaxel]

The problem that the docs do not match the released version is still an issue.

V6 is out! this is now solved.
