Quicklinks

Example

You can find a small example here on codesandbox.io.

Installation

Install using Npm (don't forget to add the --save option if you're still using npm < 5):

$ npm install intro.js-react

Or Yarn:

$ yarn add intro.js-react

Make sure to have React & Intro.js installed (they're peer dependencies) and the Intro.js CSS definitions properly loaded into your project.

This would usually looks like:

import 'intro.js/introjs.css';

Usage

Two component are available for both steps and hints:

import { Steps, Hints } from 'intro.js-react';

Steps

Note: Steps indexes always starts from 0 in this wrapper instead of 1 like in Intro.js.

Basic example:

<Steps
  enabled={stepsEnabled}
  steps={steps}
  initialStep={initialStep}
  onExit={this.onExit}
/>

Props

Name	Description	Type	Required
`enabled`	Defines if the steps are visible or not. Default: false.	Boolean
`initialStep`	Step index to start with when showing the steps.	Number	✅
`steps`	All the steps.	Step[]	✅
`onExit`	Callback called when the steps are disabled Required to force keeping track of the state when the steps are dismissed with an Intro.js event and not the `enabled` prop.	Function (stepIndex)	✅
`onBeforeExit`	Callback called before exiting the intro. If you want to prevent exiting the intro, you can return `false` in this callback (available since intro.js 0.2.7).	Function (stepIndex)
`onStart`	Callback called when the steps are enabled.	Function (stepIndex)
`onChange`	Callback called when the current step is changed.	Function (nextStepIndex, nextElement)
`onBeforeChange`	Callback called before changing the current step. If you want to prevent the transition to the next / previous step, you can return `false` in this callback (available since intro.js 2.8.0).	Function (nextStepIndex, nextElement)
`onAfterChange`	Callback called after changing the current step.	Function (newStepIndex, newElement)
`onPreventChange`	Callback called if you prevented transitioning to a new step by returning `false` in `onBeforeChange`.	Function (stepIndex)
`onComplete`	Callback called when all the steps are completed.	Function ()
`options`	Intro.js options.	Object

Step

const steps = [
  {
    element: '.selector1',
    intro: 'test 1',
    position: 'right',
    tooltipClass: 'myTooltipClass',
    highlightClass: 'myHighlightClass',

Dynamic elements

If you want to use Intro.js Steps with dynamically created elements, you have to update the element associated to the step when it's available.

To do that, you can use the updateStepElement() API and pass to it the index of the step to update:

<Steps
  enabled={stepsEnabled}
  steps={steps}
  ref={steps => (this.steps = steps)}
/>

onBeforeChange = nextStepIndex => {
  if (nextStepIndex === 4) {
    this.steps.updateStepElement(nextStepIndex);
  }
}

Hints

Basic example:

<Hints
  enabled={hintsEnabled}
  hints={hints}
/>

Props

Name	Description	Type	Required
`enabled`	Defines if the hints are visible or not. Default: false.	Boolean
`hints`	All the hints.	Hint[]	✅
`onClick`	Callback called when a hint is clicked.	Function ( )
`onClose`	Callback called when a hint is closed.	Function ( )
`options`	Intro.js options.	Object

Hint

const hints = [
  {
    element: '.selector1',
    hint: 'test 1',
    hintPosition: 'middle-middle',
  },

    element: '.selector2',
    hint: 'test 2',
  },
];

`element`	CSS selector to use for the hint.	String	✅
`hint`	The tooltip text.	String	✅
`hintPosition`	Position of the tooltip.	String

Intro.js API

If for some reasons you need to use the Intro.js API, you can still get the Intro.js instance by using a ref on either the <Steps /> or <Hints /> components and using this.refName.introJs.

<Hints
  enabled={hintsEnabled}
  hints={hints}
  ref={hints => (this.hints = hints)}
/>
