React Spotlight Tour

A self-configuring tutorial library for React.
Blog  |  Docs  |  Demo  |  npm

Features

  • Clean and unobtrusive overlay to highlight the important parts of your app inspired by Chardin.js
  • Lightweight, only depends on React and the Spotlight component can be lazy-loaded
  • Uses composable React hooks to build tutorials rather than selectors
  • Mobile and desktop support
  • Fully typed with TypeScript!

Getting Started

react-spotlight-tour comes with everything you need built into the npm package, no need for integration with bundlers. Install the package with:

$ npm install react-spotlight-tour

Example Usage

import { useState } from 'react';
import { SpotlightTour, useSpotlight } from 'react-spotlight-tour';
import Spotlight from 'react-spotlight-tour/spotlight';

function StatusUpdateInput() {
  const spotlightRef = useSpotlight('Update your status');

  // ...

  return (
    <div ref={spotlightRef}>
      <textarea />
      <button>Update status</button>
    </div>
  );
}

function HomePage() {
  const [isOpen, setOpen] = useState(false);

  return (
    <SpotlightTour
      open={isOpen}
      onClose={() => setOpen(false)}
      Spotlight={Spotlight}
    >
      <StatusUpdateInput />
    </SpotlightTour>
  );
}
