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}
/>

(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

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',
  },

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)}
/>
