## What it is
Floating Vue is a Vue library for creating tooltips, popovers, dropdowns, and menus, built on Floating UI for positioning. It supports both Vue 2 and Vue 3 via directive and component APIs with flexible configuration and theming.

## Use cases
- add tooltips to vue components
- create dropdown menus in vue 3
- build popovers positioned with floating-ui
- show contextual menus on hover or click
- replace v-tooltip with a maintained vue tooltip library
- theme floating ui elements in a vue app

## When to choose
- you use Vue 2 or Vue 3 and need tooltips, popovers, or dropdowns
- you want directive-based usage like v-tooltip in templates
- you need flexible positioning powered by Floating UI
- you want customizable themes for different popper types

## When to avoid
- you use React, Svelte, or another non-Vue framework
- you only need raw positioning logic without UI components (use Floating UI directly)
- you need complex headless component primitives beyond tooltips and menus
