Default behaviour of closing the tooltip

[ZeCarlosCoutinho]

When closing the tooltip, the event type generated is step:after.
Why not something like tooltip:close (and the opposite to also exist: tooltip:open)? By looking at the names, the event step:after does not seem to be connected with the tooltip.

What is the reason to have this step:after associated with the action of closing the tooltip?
Maybe my knowledge of the events is not enough to understand this, but I also could not understand this subject better from what I read in the docs :(

hey @ZeCarlosCoutinho

I don't think I've understood your question, but the tooltip is just a part of the step lifecycle.

• step:before
• beacon
• tooltip
• step:after

Well, this is a bit confusing, because then the event.js represent the steps lifecycle, but then there also exists a lifecycle.js file.
I still haven't understood when to use the values of the the Events or Lifecycle.

Anyway, from what you said, it seems that every action of the user triggers this cycle of step:before -> beacon -> tooltip -> step:after.

The step lifecycle is described by the Lifecycle file while the Events file includes the tour and steps interactions.
