bootstrap 4 popover stay open on hover - hover

Question

I was using this code to keep popovers stay open on hover:
var originalLeave = $.fn.popover.Constructor.prototype.leave;
$.fn.popover.Constructor.prototype.leave = function(obj){
var self = obj instanceof this.constructor ?
obj : $(obj.currentTarget)[this.type](this.getDelegateOptions()).data('bs.' + this.type)
var container, timeout;
originalLeave.call(this, obj);
if(obj.currentTarget) {
container = $(obj.currentTarget).siblings('.popover')
timeout = self.timeout;
container.one('mouseenter', function(){
//We entered the actual popover – call off the dogs
clearTimeout(timeout);
//Let's monitor popover content instead
container.one('mouseleave', function(){
$.fn.popover.Constructor.prototype.leave.call(self, self);
});
})
}
};
$('body').popover({ selector: '[data-popover]', trigger: 'click hover', placement: 'auto', delay: {show: 50, hide: 400}});

This works great on Bootstrap 3, however I'm now using the Bootstrap 4 alpha and this doesn't work anymore. I can't figure out how to get it to work and I can't find an answer anywhere. Could anyone help me modify this code to work with Bootstrap 4?

Answer 1

Alright I found an answer. I looked through other Bootstrap 3 solutions and found one that I was able to tweak to work with Bootstrap 4. Also I forgot to mention this is using popovers with tether.js.
$(".trigger-link").popover({
trigger: "manual",
}).on("mouseenter", function() {
var _this = this;
$(this).popover("show");
$(".popover").on("mouseleave", function() {
$(_this).popover('hide');
});
}).on("mouseleave", function() {
var _this = this;
setTimeout(function() {
if (!$(".popover:hover").length) {
$(_this).popover("hide")
}
}, 100);
});
