Usage

Basic example

No configuration	showSkipButton	bottomButton and showSkipButton

The component is based on FlatList so usage is very similar. Pass a data-array to AppIntroSlider along with a renderItem-function (or you can use the default basic layout).

import React from 'react';
import { StyleSheet } from 'react-native';
import AppIntroSlider from 'react-native-app-intro-slider';

const slides = [
  {
    key: 'somethun',
    title: 'Title 1',
    text: 'Description.\nSay something cool',
    image: require('./assets/1.jpg'),
    backgroundColor: '#59b2ab',
  },
  {
    key: 'somethun-dos',
    title: 'Title 2',
    text: 'Other cool stuff',
    image: require('./assets/2.jpg'),
    backgroundColor: '#febe29',
  },
  {
    key: 'somethun1',
    title: 'Rocket guy',
    text: 'I\'m already out of descriptions\n\nLorem ipsum bla bla bla',
    image: require('./assets/3.jpg'),
    backgroundColor: '#22bcb5',
  }
];

export default class App extends React.Component {
  this.state = {
    showRealApp: false
  }
  _renderItem = (item) => {
    return (
      <View style={styles.slide}>
        <Text style={styles.title}>{item.title}</Text>
        <Image source={item.image} />
        <Text style={style.text}>{item.text}</Text>
      </View>
    );
  }
  _onDone = () => {
    // User finished the introduction. Show real app through
    // navigation or simply by controlling state
    this.setState({ showRealApp: true });
  }
  render() {
    if (this.state.showRealApp) {
      return <App />;
    } else {
      return <AppIntroSlider renderItem={this._renderItem} slides={slides} onDone={this._onDone}/>;
    }
  }
}

Configuring buttons

import React from 'react';
import { Ionicons } from '@expo/vector-icons';
import { StyleSheet, View } from 'react-native';
import AppIntroSlider from 'react-native-app-intro-slider';

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  buttonCircle: {
    width: 40,
    height: 40,
    backgroundColor: 'rgba(0, 0, 0, .2)',
    borderRadius: 20,
    justifyContent: 'center',
    alignItems: 'center',
  },
  image: {
    width: 320,
    height: 320,
  }
});

// slides = [...]

export default class App extends React.Component {
  _renderNextButton = () => {
    return (
      <View style={styles.buttonCircle}>
        <Ionicons
          name="md-arrow-round-forward"
          color="rgba(255, 255, 255, .9)"
          size={24}
          style={{ backgroundColor: 'transparent' }}
        />
      </View>
    );
  }
  _renderDoneButton = () => {
    return (
      <View style={styles.buttonCircle}>
        <Ionicons
          name="md-checkmark"
          color="rgba(255, 255, 255, .9)"
          size={24}
          style={{ backgroundColor: 'transparent' }}
        />
      </View>
    );
  }
  render() {
    return (
      <AppIntroSlider
        slides={slides}
        renderDoneButton={this._renderDoneButton}
        renderNextButton={this._renderNextButton}
      />
    );
  }
}

Custom slide layout

import React from 'react';
import { Ionicons } from '@expo/vector-icons';
import { StyleSheet, View, Text, Image } from 'react-native';
import { LinearGradient } from 'expo';
import AppIntroSlider from 'react-native-app-intro-slider';

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  mainContent: {
    flex: 1,
    alignItems: 'center',
    justifyContent: 'space-around',
  },
  image: {
    width: 320,
    height: 320,
  },
  text: {
    color: 'rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8)',
    backgroundColor: 'transparent',
    textAlign: 'center',
    paddingHorizontal: 16,
  },
  title: {
    fontSize: 22,
    color: 'white',
    backgroundColor: 'transparent',
    textAlign: 'center',
    marginBottom: 16,
  }
});

const slides = [
  {
    key: 'somethun',
    title: 'Quick setup, good defaults',
    text: 'React-native-app-intro-slider is easy to setup with a small footprint and no dependencies. And it comes with good default layouts!',
    icon: 'ios-images-outline',
    colors: ['#63E2FF', '#B066FE'],
  },
  {
    key: 'somethun1',
    title: 'Super customizable',
    text: 'The component is also super customizable, so you can adapt it to cover your needs and wants.',
    icon: 'ios-options-outline',
    colors: ['#A3A1FF', '#3A3897'],
  },
  {
    key: 'somethun2',
    title: 'No need to buy me beer',
    text: 'Usage is all free',
    icon: 'ios-beer-outline',
    colors: ['#29ABE2', '#4F00BC'],
  },
];

export default class App extends React.Component {
  _renderItem = props => (
    <LinearGradient
      style={[styles.mainContent, {
        paddingTop: props.topSpacer,
        paddingBottom: props.bottomSpacer,
        width: props.width,
        height: props.height,
      }]}
      colors={props.colors}
      start={{x: 0, y: .1}} end={{x: .1, y: 1}}
    >
      <Ionicons style={{ backgroundColor: 'transparent' }} name={props.icon} size={200} color="white" />
      <View>
        <Text style={styles.title}>{props.title}</Text>
        <Text style={styles.text}>{props.text}</Text>
      </View>
    </LinearGradient>
  );

  render() {
    return (
      <AppIntroSlider
        slides={slides}
        renderItem={this._renderItem}
        bottomButton
      />
    );
  }
}

Here a custom renderItem is supplied and the bottomButton-props has been set to true. Notice how the setup of slides has been configured to support icons and gradient backgrounds.

Props and options

The component extends FlatList so all FlatList-props are valid.
