TourGuide props:

1interface TourGuideZoneProps {

3  tourKey?: string // A string indicating which tour the zone belongs to
4  isTourGuide?: boolean // return children without wrapping id false
5  text?: string // text in tooltip
6  shape?: Shape // which shape
7  maskOffset?: number // offset around zone
8  borderRadius?: number // round corner when rectangle
9  keepTooltipPosition?: boolean
10  tooltipBottomOffset?: number
11  children: React.ReactNode
12}

14type Shape = 'circle' | 'rectangle' | 'circle_and_keep' | 'rectangle_and_keep'

17  tooltipComponent?: React.ComponentType<TooltipProps>
18  tooltipStyle?: StyleProp<ViewStyle>
19  labels?: Labels
20  startAtMount?: boolean | string //  start at mount, boolean for single tours, string for multiple tours

33interface TooltipProps {
34  isFirstStep?: boolean

42
43interface Labels {
44  skip?: string
45  previous?: string
46  next?: string
47  finish?: string
48}

In order to start the tutorial, you can call the start function from useTourGuideController hook:

1function HomeScreen() {
2  const { start } = useTourGuideController()
3
4  React.useEffect(() => {
5    start()
6  }, [])
7
8
9  render() {
10    // ...
11  }
12}
13
14export default HomeScreen

Using Multiple Tours

If you'd like to have multiple tours (different pages, differnt user types, etc) you can pass in a tourKey to useTourGuideController to create a tour that is keyed to that tourKey. Important If you use a keyed tour, in order for the TourGuideZone components to register correctly you must do one of two things. Either (1) pass along the tourKey to the TourGuideZone components, or (2) extract the TourGuideZone components from the hook itself

(1) If you want to pass along the tourKey

1import { TourGuideZone, useTourGuideController } from 'rn-tourguide'
2const {
3  canStart, // <-- These are all keyed to the tourKey
4  start, // <-- These are all keyed to the tourKey
5  stop, // <-- These are all keyed to the tourKey
6  eventEmitter, // <-- These are all keyed to the tourKey
7  tourKey, // <-- Extract the tourKey
8} = useTourGuideController('results')
9
10return (
11  <TourGuideZone
12    tourKey={tourKey} // <-- Pass in the tourKey
13    zone={2}
14    text='Check on your results'
15  >
16    {/** Children */}
17  </TourGuideZone>
18)

Or (2) if you want to extract the components directly from the hook

1import { useTourGuideController } from 'rn-tourguide'
2const { canStart, start, stop, TourGuideZone } =
3  useTourGuideController('results')
4
5return (
6  <TourGuideZone // <-- No need to pass in the tourKey
7    zone={2}
8    text='Check on your results'
9  >
10    {/** Children */}
11  </TourGuideZone>
12)

If you use multiple tours and would like to use the startAtMount prop on the TourGuideProvider component, then pass in the string of the tour you'd like to start

Custom tooltip component

You can customize the tooltip by passing a component to the copilot HOC maker. If you are looking for an example tooltip component, take a look at the default tooltip implementation.

1const TooltipComponent = ({
2  isFirstStep,
3  isLastStep,
4  handleNext,
5  handlePrev,
6  handleStop,
7  currentStep,
8}) => (
9  // ...
10);
11
12<TourGuideProvider {...{tooltipComponent: TooltipComponent}}>
13// ...
14</TourGuideProvider>

Custom tooltip styling

You can customize tooltips style:

1const style = {
2  backgroundColor: '#9FA8DA',
3  borderRadius: 10,
4  paddingTop: 5,
5}
6
7<TourGuideProvider {...{ tooltipStyle: style }}>
8// ...
9</TourGuideProvider>

Custom mask color

You can customize the mask color - default is rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4), by passing a color string to the copilot HOC maker.

1<TourGuideProvider {...{ backdropColor: 'rgba(50, 50, 100, 0.9)' }}>
2  // ...
3</TourGuideProvider>

Custom labels (for i18n)

You can localize labels:

1<TourGuideProvider
2  {...{
3    labels: {
4      previous: 'Vorheriger',
5      next: 'Nächster',
6      skip: 'Überspringen',
7      finish: 'Beenden',
8    },
9  }}
10>
11  // ...
12</TourGuideProvider>

Listening to the events

Along with start(), useTourGuideController passes copilotEvents function to the component to help you with tracking of tutorial progress. It utilizes mitt under the hood, you can see how full API there.

List of available events is:

• start — Copilot tutorial has started.
• stop — Copilot tutorial has ended or skipped.
• stepChange — Next step is triggered. Passes Step instance as event handler argument.

Prevent Outside Interaction

Sometimes you need to prevent users to interact with app while tour is shown, in such case preventOutsideInteraction prop is up for you.

default: false

1<TourGuideProvider preventOutsideInteraction>
2  <AppContent />
3</TourGuideProvider>
