react-joyride
Advanced tools
react-joyride is a React component that helps you create guided tours for your web applications. It allows you to highlight elements, provide step-by-step instructions, and enhance user onboarding experiences.
Creating a Basic Tour
This code demonstrates how to create a basic tour with react-joyride. It defines a series of steps, each with a target element and content, and then renders the Joyride component with these steps.
import React from 'react';
import Joyride from 'react-joyride';
const App = () => {
const steps = [
{
target: '.my-first-step',
content: 'This is my first step!'
},
{
target: '.my-second-step',
content: 'This is my second step!'
}
];
return (
<div>
<Joyride steps={steps} />
<div className="my-first-step">First Step</div>
<div className="my-second-step">Second Step</div>
</div>
);
};
export default App;Customizing Tour Appearance
This code shows how to customize the appearance of the tour. You can change the primary color, z-index, and other styles to match your application's design.
import React from 'react';
import Joyride, { STATUS } from 'react-joyride';
const App = () => {
const steps = [
{
target: '.my-first-step',
content: 'This is my first step!',
styles: {
options: {
zIndex: 10000,
}
}
}
];
return (
<div>
<Joyride
steps={steps}
styles={{
options: {
primaryColor: '#e91e63',
zIndex: 10000,
}
}}
/>
<div className="my-first-step">First Step</div>
</div>
);
};
export default App;Controlling Tour Programmatically
This code demonstrates how to control the tour programmatically. You can start the tour with a button click and handle the tour's status changes using a callback function.
import React, { useState } from 'react';
import Joyride, { STATUS } from 'react-joyride';
const App = () => {
const [run, setRun] = useState(false);
const steps = [
{
target: '.my-first-step',
content: 'This is my first step!'
}
];
const handleJoyrideCallback = (data) => {
const { status } = data;
if ([STATUS.FINISHED, STATUS.SKIPPED].includes(status)) {
setRun(false);
}
};
return (
<div>
<button onClick={() => setRun(true)}>Start Tour</button>
<Joyride
steps={steps}
run={run}
callback={handleJoyrideCallback}
/>
<div className="my-first-step">First Step</div>
</div>
);
};
export default App;reactour is another React library for creating guided tours. It offers a simple API and is highly customizable. Compared to react-joyride, reactour is more lightweight but may lack some advanced features.
shepherd.js is a JavaScript library for creating guided tours that can be used with React. It provides a more flexible and powerful API compared to react-joyride, but it requires more setup and configuration.
intro.js is a standalone JavaScript library for creating step-by-step guides and feature introductions. It can be integrated with React and offers a wide range of customization options. It is more feature-rich but also more complex to use compared to react-joyride.

npm install --save react-joyride
Include Joyride in the parent component before anything else.
var react = require('react');
var Joyride = require('react-joyride');
var App = React.createClass({
render: function () {
return (
<div className="app">
<Joyride ref="joyride" steps={this.state.steps} debug={true} ... />
<YourComponents .../>
</div>
);
}
...
});
Don't forget to pass a ref to the component.
If your are using SCSS (and you should):
@include '../path/to/node-modules/react-joyride/lib/styles/react-joyride'
Or include this directly in your html:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="react-joyride/lib/styles/react-joyride.css" type="text/css">
Add a custom function to include steps and/or tooltips in your parent component
addSteps: function (steps) {
let joyride = this.refs.joyride;
if (!Array.isArray(steps)) {
steps = [steps];
}
if (!steps.length) {
return false;
}
this.setState(function(currentState) {
currentState.steps = currentState.steps.concat(joyride.parseSteps(steps));
return currentState;
});
}
addTooltip: function (data) {
this.refs.joyride.addTooltip(data);
}
Add steps after your components are mounted.
componentDidMount: function () {
this.addSteps({...}); // or this.addTooltip({...});
// or using props in your child components
this.props.addSteps({...});
}
...
render: function () {
return (
<Joyride ref="joyride" .../>
<ChildComponent addSteps={this.addSteps} addTooltip={this.addTooltip} />
);
}
Or you can start the tour after a criteria is met
componentDidUpdate (prevProps, prevState) {
if (!prevState.ready && this.state.ready) {
this.refs.joyride.start();
}
},
Please refer to the source code of the demo if you need a practical example.
You can change the initial options passing props to the component. All optional.
debug {bool}: Console.log Joyride's inner actions. Defaults to false
keyboardNavigation {bool}: Toggle keyboard navigation (esc, space bar, return). Defaults to true
locale {object}: The strings used in the tooltip. Defaults to { back: 'Back', close: 'Close', last: 'Last', next: 'Next', skip: 'Skip' }
resizeDebounce {bool}: Delay the reposition of the current step while the window is being resized. Defaults to false
resizeDebounceDelay {number}: The amount of delay for the resizeDebounce callback. Defaults to 200
scrollOffset {number}: The scrollTop offset used in scrollToSteps. Defaults to 20
scrollToSteps {bool}: Scroll the page to the next step if needed. Defaults to true
scrollToFirstStep {bool}: Scroll the page for the first step. Defaults to false
showBackButton {bool}: Display a back button. Defaults to true
showOverlay {bool}: Display an overlay with holes above your steps (for tours only). Defaults to true
showSkipButton {bool}: Display a link to skip the tour. It will trigger the completeCallback if it was defined. Defaults to false
showStepsProgress {bool}: Display the tour progress in the next button e.g. 2/5 in continuous tours. Defaults to false
steps {array}: The tour's steps. Defaults to []
tooltipOffset {number}: The tooltip offset from the target. Defaults to 30
type {string}: The type of your presentation. It can be continuous (played sequencially with the Next button) or single. Defaults to single
completeCallback {function}: It will be called after an user has completed all the steps or skipped the tour and passes two parameters, the steps {array} and if the tour was skipped {boolean}. Defaults to undefined
stepCallback {function}: It will be called after each step and passes the completed step {object}. Defaults to undefined
Example:
<Joyride ref="joyride" steps={this.state.steps} debug={true} type="single"
stepCallback={this._stepCallback} ... />
Call this method to start the tour.
autorun {boolean} - Starts the tour with the first tooltip opened.Call this method to stop/pause the tour.
Call this method to reset the tour iteration back to 0
restart {boolean} - Starts the new tour right awayRetrieve the current progress of your tour. The object returned looks like this:
{
index: 2,
percentageComplete: 50,
step: {
title: "...",
text: "...",
selector: "...",
position: "...",
...
}
}}
Parse the incoming steps, check if it's already rendered and returns an array with valid items
steps {array|object}var steps = this.refs.joyride.parseSteps({
title: 'Title',
text: 'description',
selector: ReactDOM.findDOMNode(this.refs.node),
position: 'top'
});
// steps
[{
title: 'Title',
text: 'description',
selector: '[data-reactid="0.0.1.0"]',
position: 'top'
}]
There are a few usable options but you can pass custom parameters.
title: The title of the tooltiptext: The tooltip's body text (required)selector: The target DOM selector of your feature (required)position: Relative position of you beacon and tooltip. It can be one of these:top, top-left, top-right, bottom, bottom-left, bottom-right, right and left. This defaults to top.type: The event type that trigger the tooltip: click or hover. Defaults to clickExtra option for standalone tooltips
trigger: The DOM element that will trigger the tooltipAs of version 1.x you can style tooltips independently with these options: backgroundColor, borderRadius, color, mainColor, textAlign and width.
Also you can style button, skip, back and close individually using standard style options. And beacon inner and outer colors.
