Question

According the documentation is is possible to turn off the functionality just doing $('body').off('.alert.data-api').
In the case of tooltip I tried the following from js console $('body').off('.tooltip.data-api') but it does not disable the tooltip on bottons.
Any hints how to precede?

You can’t disable tooltips that way because it has no event listener on the body. Instead, you can disable the tooltips themselves using the code below.

$('[rel=tooltip]').tooltip()          // Init tooltips
$('[rel=tooltip]').tooltip('disable') // Disable tooltips
$('[rel=tooltip]').tooltip('enable')  // (Re-)enable tooltips
$('[rel=tooltip]').tooltip('destroy') // Hide and destroy tooltips

Edit: For Bootstrap 4, the 'destroy' command has been replaced by the 'dispose' command, so:

$('[rel=tooltip]').tooltip('dispose') // Hide and destroy tooltips in Bootstrap 4
