A ReactJS mixin to give new users a popup-based tour of your application.

Package Exports

  • react-tour-guide

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (react-tour-guide) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

react-tour-guide npm version

A ReactJS mixin to give new users a popup-based tour of your application.

Getting Started

  1. npm install --save react-tour-guide
  2. var TourGuideMixin = require('react-tour-guide').Mixin
var TourGuideMixin = require('react-tour-guide').Mixin;
var tour = {
  scrollToSteps: true,
  indicatorSize: 30,
  tooltipWidth: 250,
  steps: [
    {
      text: 'This is the first step in the tour.',
      element: 'header',
      position: 'bottom'
    },
    {
      text: 'This is the second step in the tour.',
      element: '.navigation',
      position: 'right'
    }
  ]
};
var cb = function() {
  console.log('User has completed tour!');
};

var App = React.createClass({

  mixins: [TourGuideMixin(tour, cb)],

  ...

});

Options

A Javascript object is passed to the TourGuideMixin to specify options, as well as the steps of your tour as an array. The options are:

  • scrollToSteps (bool): if true, the page will be automatically scrolled to the next indicator (if one exists) after a tooltip is dismissed. Defaults to true.
  • indicatorSize (int): the size (in pixels) that you want the Indicator to be. Defaults to 30.
  • tooltipWidth (int): the width (in pixels) that you want each tooltip to be. Defaults to 250.

Each "step" in the array represents one indicator and tooltip that a user must click through in the guided tour. A step has the following structure:

{
  "text": "The helpful tip or information the user should read at this step.",
  "element": "A jQuery selector for the element which the step relates to.",
  "position": "Where to position the indicator in relation to the element."
}

Positions can be chosen from: top-left, top-right, right, bottom-right, bottom, bottom-left, left, and center. This defaults to center.

Completion Callback

An optional callback may be passed as the second parameter to TourGuideMixin, which will be called once the current user has completed all the steps of your tour.

Styling

Some basic styling is provided in /lib/styles/tour-guide.css. This can either be included directly in your project, or used as a base for your own custom styles. Below, the HTML structure of the tour is also outlined for custom styling.

The guided tour consists of two main elements for each step: an indicator and a tooltip. An indicator is a flashing element positioned on a specific element on the page, cueing the user to click. Upon click, the associated tooltip is triggered which the user must then read and dismiss.

Indicator
<div class="tour-indicator"></div>
Tooltip
<div class="tour-backdrop">
  <div class="tour-tooltip">
    <p>{The step's text goes here.}</p>
    <div class="tour-btn close">Close</div>
  </div>
</div>
