import '@spectrum-web-components/coachmark/sp-coachmark.js';

When looking to leverage the Coachmark base class as a type and/or for extension purposes, do so via:

Example

Default

<sp-coachmark open>
    <div slot="title">Coachmark with Text Only</div>
    <div slot="content">
        This is a Coachmark with nothing but text in it. Kind of lonely in here.
    </div>
</sp-coachmark>

Using Action Menu

Coach marks can include an <sp-action-menu>, which appears at the top right of the coach mark. The <sp-action-menu> should only include ways to interact with the coach mark tour as a whole, with options like “Skip tour” or “Restart tour.”

<sp-coachmark
    open
    current-step="2"
    total-steps="8"
    primary-cta="Next"
    secondary-cta="Previous"
>
    <div slot="title">Coachmark with Text Only</div>
    <div slot="content">
        This is a Coachmark with nothing but text in it. Kind of lonely in here.
    </div>
    <sp-action-menu
        label="More Actions"
        placement="bottom-end"
        quiet
        slot="actions"
    >
        <sp-menu-item>Skip tour</sp-menu-item>
        <sp-menu-item>Restart tour</sp-menu-item>
    </sp-action-menu>
</sp-coachmark>

User Action Dependent

User action-dependent coachmarks are designed to guide users based on their interactions within your application. In such cases, there is no "Next Step" button, as the coachmark progresses when the user takes a specific action. This allows users to learn by doing, rather than simply reading instructions. The coachmark remains until the user performs the required action or takes an alternative route in the tour, such as skipping, restarting, or moving back to a previous step.

Inside the <sp-coachmark>, add the content and instructions for the coachmark in the <sp-coachmark>. You can also define primary and secondary CTA buttons for user interaction.

Event Handling:

The primary and secondary CTA buttons within the coachmark popover can be configured to dispatch events when clicked.

<sp-coachmark
    id="coachmark-action"
    open
    current-step="2"
    total-steps="8"
    primary-cta="Asset added"
    secondary-cta="Previous"
>
    <div slot="title">Coachmark with user action</div>
    <div slot="content">
        This is a Coachmark with nothing but text in it. Kind of lonely in here.
    </div>
    <sp-action-menu label="More Actions" placement="bottom-end" quiet slot="actions">
        <sp-menu-item>Skip tour</sp-menu-item>
        <sp-menu-item>Restart tour</sp-menu-item>
    </sp-action-menu>
</sp-coachmark>
<script type="module">
    const initCoachMark = () => {
        const coachmark = document.querySelector('#coachmark-action');
        coachmark.addEventListener('primary', () => console.log('primary call to action'));
        coachmark.addEventListener('secondary', () => console.log('secondary call to action'));

    };
    customElements.whenDefined('sp-coachmark').then(() => {
                initCoachMark();
    });
</script>

Using Images, GIFs

Coach marks can contain images or videos that relate to their content, such as demonstrations of gestures, the feature being used, or illustrations. To use these kinds of media in your rich tooltip, specify a src, the type of media, either by using the string or media-type object, and an optional imageAlt text describing the content.

Media Types allowed: Images & Gifs

Shortcut keys and modifier keys

Shortcut keys and modifier keys are ways to show users how to trigger a particular tool.

The shortcutKey is the primary key used to trigger an interaction and are typically an alphanumeric value (and thus will be rendered as an uppercase character), while the modifierKeys are an array of strings that represent alternate keys that can be pressed, like Shift, Alt, Cmd, etc.
