Usage

Simple setup

  1. Add the module and either BrowserAnimationsModule or NoopAnimationsModule
import { NgModule } from "@angular/core";
import { BrowserModule } from "@angular/platform-browser";
import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from "@angular/platform-browser/animations";
import { NgxTourGuideModule } from "@shipbit/ngx-tour-guide";

import { AppComponent } from "./app.component";

@NgModule({
  declarations: [AppComponent],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    BrowserAnimationsModule,
    NgxTourGuideModule.forRoot(),
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent],
})
export class AppModule {}
  1. Add the shipbit-ngx-tour-guide to your app root

app.component.html

<shipbit-ngx-tour-guide> </shipbit-ngx-tour-guide>
  1. Start your tour
import { Component } from "@angular/core";
import { NgxTourGuideService } from "@shipbit/ngx-tour-guide";

@Component({
  selector: "showcase-root",
  templateUrl: "./app.component.html",
  styleUrls: ["./app.component.scss"],
})
export class AppComponent {
  title = "showcase";

  constructor(tourGuideService: NgxTourGuideService) {
    tourGuideService.start({
      stops: [
        {
          element: ".toolbar",
          title: "This is a Toolbar!",
          content: "This is the default toolbar created with Angular CLI",
        },
        {
          element: ".content",
          title: "This is the Content!",
          content: "This is the default content created with Angular CLI",
        },
        {
          element: ".card-container",
          title: "Find resources here",
          content:
            "These are resources helping you to get started with angular development.",
        },
      ],
    });
  }
}

Register tours for later use

register a tour

    const tour: TourGuide =  {
        ...
    }

    tourGuideService.register(tour, 'HowToUpgradeTour');

and start it any time

tourGuideService.start("HowToUpgradeTour");

Use Templates for content

component.html

<ng-template #customTourStop let-content>
  <div>
    <img [src]="content.image" />
    <p>...</p>
  </div>
</ng-template>

component.ts

@ViewChild('customTourStop') customTourStop: TemplateRef<unknown>

...

public startTour(model: WorkflowItem){
    tourGuideService.start({
        stops: [
            {
            element: " button[submit] ",
            title: "Here you can submit",
            content: model,
            contentTemplate: this.customTourStop,
            },
        ],
    });
}

Use html content (make sure to sanitize)

component.ts

public startTour(model: WorkflowItem){
    tourGuideService.start({
        stops: [
            {
            element: "#detailArea",
            title: "This is the detail area",
            content: "This is <strong>html</strong> for templateless text styling.<br> Make sure to sanitize your html if it originates from <em>untrusted sources</em>",
            },
        ],
    });
}

Customize Actions

YOu can provide content for any action button, in this case material icons

<shipbit-ngx-tour-guide>
  <span class="material-icons md-18" ngxTourGuidePreviousContent
    >arrow_back</span
  >
  <span class="material-icons md-18" ngxTourGuideNextContent
    >arrow_forward</span
  >
  <span class="material-icons md-18" ngxTourGuideFinishContent>check</span>
  <span class="material-icons md-18" ngxTourGuideSkipContent>close</span>
</shipbit-ngx-tour-guide>

You can configure actions for each tour

const tourGuide: TourGuide = {
    stops:[...]
    actions: {
        finishTour: {
          label: 'Abschließen',
          onExecute: (stop, action) => {
            if (someReason) {
              action.cancel = true;
            }
          },
        },
        previousStop: { label: 'Zurück' },
        nextStop: { label: 'Weiter' },
        skipTour: { hidden: true },
      }
}

Customize Stops

You can also use user interactions as actions

const tourGuide: TourGuide = {
  stops: [
    {
      contentTemplate: openMenuTemplate,
      element: ".menu-open-button",
      title: "This is the main menu",
      action: {
        replacesNextOrFinish: true,
        event: "click",
        delay: 200,
      },
    },
    {
      content: 'You can navigate to any menu page by clicking the item'
      element: ".menu-list",
      title: "Menu entries",
      action: {
        replacesNextOrFinish: true,
        event: "mouseenter",
        delay: 500,
      },
    },
  ],
};

Styling

The base comes without any color information besides the overlay background.

css variables

These variables can be used to configure the overlay

variable default description
--ngx-tour-guid__z-index 1000 The zindex the tour guide overlay will have in your app
--ngx-tour-guide__overlay-backdrop-filter blur(200px) The filter the overlay uses on the background
--ngx-tour-guide__overlay-background-color rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.15) The color of the overlay

css classes

These classes can be used to directly style the corresponding element

selector description
.tour-guide-container targets the container of the skip button (if used) as well as every stop message
.tour-guide--skip targets the container of the skip button specificly
.tour-guide--overlay targets the overlay over your app
.tour-guide-stop targets the layout of a stop: grid layout
