A drop in extension replacing error labels from jQuery Validation plugin with Twitter Bootstrap tooltips

• jQuery
• jQuery Validation
• Twitter Bootstrap (Tested with v2.3.2, v3.3.5 and 4.0.0alpha)

Tooltip options are given either through an element's data attributes or as objects set during validate initializing. An example would be:

    $("#theform").validate({
        rules: {
           thefield: { digits:true, required: true }
        },
        tooltip_options: {
           thefield: { placement: 'left' }
        }
     });

There is an equivalent project that caters to jQuery Validation Unobtrusive, johnnyreilly/jQuery.Validation.Unobtrusive.Native and also provides tooltip errors
