Event ToolTip not displaying in FullCalendar - fullcalendar

Question

I've been working with the FullCalendar configuration for a little bit now but I've reached a point that I just can't get figured out. I want to enable to tooltips to appear when the end user hovers over the event. I would like to give a little further information in the tooltip for the event, such as a phone contact number, etc.
I've tried a number of different options that I was able to find.
The list of links below for example.

Fullcalendar / eventdidmount - issue with "more link"
I'll pulling in my events via a JSON array from a PHP script.
Here is my Calendar rendering code.
<script>
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
var calendarEl = document.getElementById('calendar');
var calendar = new FullCalendar.Calendar(calendarEl, {
height: 550,
slotDuration: {minutes: 15},
nowIndicator: true,
allDaySlot: false,
eventBackgroundColor: '#916FDF',
slotMinTime: "08:00:00",
slotMaxTime: "20:00:00",
displayEventEnd: false,
initialView: 'timeGridWeek',
events: <?php print json_encode($events); ?>,
eventDidMount: function(info) {
var tooltip = new Tooltip(info.el, {
title: info.event.extendedProps.description,
placement: 'top',
trigger: 'hover',
container: 'body'
});
},
customButtons: {
addNewAppointment: {
text: 'New Appt',
click: function() {
window.location.href="../client/newAppointment.php";
}
}
},
headerToolbar: {
left: 'title',
center: 'dayGridMonth timeGridWeek',
right: 'prev next today addNewAppointment'
}
});
calendar.render();
});
</script>
My PHP to pull the events is as follows:
<?php
require_once('../db_connect.php');
// Check to see if the session is already started.
if (session_status() === PHP_SESSION_NONE) {
session_start();
}
$query = 'SELECT
CONCAT(client.cl_fName, " ", client.cl_lName) AS "title",
CONCAT(appointment.sched_date,"T", appointment.start_time) AS "start",
CONCAT(appointment.sched_date,"T", appointment.end_time) AS "end",
CONCAT("TEST", " DESCRIPTION") AS "description"
FROM
appointment, client
WHERE appointment.client_id = client.client_id';
$statement = $db1->prepare($query);
$statement->execute();
$events = $statement->fetchAll();
$statement->closeCursor();
?>
I appreciate all suggestions. Thank you in advance.

Try using a popover instead of a tooltip, it's better than a tooltip if you wanna add more info to it.
change youreventDidMount to
eventDidMount: function (info) {
$(info.el).popover({
title: info.event.title,
placement: 'top',
trigger: 'hover',
content: 'more info on the popover if you want',
container: 'body'
});
}
