Tour

The tour components provided by EUI allow for a flexible and customizable way to showcase items on a page in an ordered manner by augmenting existing elements on the page without altering functionality.

Examples on this page use localStorage to persist state.

Wrap target element

The EuiTourStep component is the base for building a feature tour or an individual popover for onboarding.

All content and actions including titles, headings, and buttons are customizable via props.

Anchor to DOM element

Instead of wrapping the target element, use the

anchor prop to specify a DOM node. Accepted values include an HTML element reference, a function returning an HTML element, or a CSS selector string such as anchor="#anchorTarget".

Guided tour

Uers proceed through tour steps without needing to complete actions on the underlying page. In this scenario, consider showing both Close tour and Next buttons.

Standalone steps

Each EuiTourStep can be configured independently via props. In this case, each component is stateless and needs to be paired with some form of state management for navigation. The later examples showcase other ways to handle state management via useEuiTour and EuiTour.

useEuiTour hook

The useEuiTour hook provides minimal state management using a predefined React reducer. Pass an array of steps consisting of accepted props, and an object of global configuration. The result is a full configuration object for each step, a set of reducer actions to perform state changes, and an up-to-date state object derived from the internal reducer.

EuiTour render prop component

The EuiTour render prop component provides minimal state management. An alternative to the useEuiTour hook, EuiTour can be used for React class components and use cases with a single wrapping component.

Tour demo

A complete tour set in a more realistic application UI. Unlike other examples on this page, the demo does not use localStorage to persist state.

Prop repositionToCrossAxis#	Description and type By default, popovers will attempt to position themselves along the initial axis specified.
