angular-joyride

A simple joyride directive for angular. This is inspired by ng-joyride and works very similarly but with less dependencies. The only dependency is ngAnimate, no jquery or any other libraries required.

Key Features

  1. Minumum dependencies: Only AngularJS and ngAnimate are required.
  2. Customizability: The directive gives you the ability to customize the positioning, styling, HTML and even the animations of the joyride.
  3. Auto-adjusting positioning: You choose where the joyride should be positioned, but in cases where the joyride might go offscreen the directive will adjust it's position to make sure it stays completely visible.
  4. Responsive Positioning: For cases where the auto-adjusting position isn't enough, you can specify a certain breakpoint where you want to completely change the placement of the joyride to ensure it works on smaller screens.

Installation

Install with npm:

npm install angular-joyride

Install with bower:

bower install angular-joyride

Inject angular-joyride and ngAnimate into your angular module:

angular.module('MyApp', ['ngAnimate', 'angular-joyride']);

Add the joyride directive as an element:

<joyride></joyride>

Usage

This directive relies on a service for handling the joyride content and configuration, so include the joyrideService in your controller:

app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope, joyrideService) {
  var joyride = joyrideService;

  joyride.start = true;
  
  joyride.config = {
    overlay: false,
    onStepChange: function(){ // Code Here },
    onStart: function(){ // Code Here },
    onFinish: function(){ // Code Here },
    steps : [
      {
        title: "Title 2",
        content: '<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Voluptatibus, quidem, quia mollitia harum tempora laudantium deserunt deleniti. Expedita, soluta, atque maxime minus commodi quaerat ipsum reiciendis veritatis eum laboriosam incidunt.</p><p>another example</p>'
      },
      {
        type: 'element',
        selector: "#title",
        title: "Title 1",
        content: 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Voluptatibus, quidem, quia mollitia harum tempora laudantium deserunt deleniti. Expedita, soluta, atque maxime minus commodi quaerat ipsum reiciendis veritatis eum laboriosam incidunt.',
        placement: 'top'
      }
    ]
  },

});

Starting the joyride

The start property can be used to trigger the joyride, setting it to true starts the joyride and false will end it.

Configuration

  • steps - The steps to be used in the joyride, expects an array of objects.
  • overlay - Display overlay, default is true.
  • template - This can be used to add a custom template for the joyride, a path to an html file should be given.
  • onStepChange - Callback for step change.
  • onStart - Callback for joyride start.
  • onFinish - Callback for joyride end.

Joyride Steps

The steps property accepts an array containing the steps of the joyride, each step should be an object with the following properties:

Property Type Description
type String Type of step, default is "Regular"
title String Title of step
content String Step content, can incude html tags
selector String If type is set to "element" this is the selector used to find the element
placement String If type is set to "element" determines the placement of the container, default is "bottom"
appendToBody boolean If type is set to "element" setting to true appends the joyride to the body instead of the element the joyride is pointing to, default is false
scroll boolean If type is set to "element" can disable/enable scrolling to element, default is true
beforeStep function Function called before step transitions in, can pause joyride until some code executes

Step Types

There are 2 available types:

  • Regular: The default type, appears as a regular pop-up.
  • Element: Highlights a certain element in the DOM. Requires the selector property to work and can be positioned with the placement property with top, right, bottom or left.

Before step callback

This should be used if you want to pause between steps to execute some code first, for example opening a modal or going to a different page before going to the next step. If you use the beforeStep callback then the joyride will be paused, you have to let it know once you're done so that it can continue, you can do that by using the resumeJoyride function.

In the example below the modal should be open in the second step but it should be closed in the first and third step:

joyride.config.steps = [
    {
      title : 'Step 1',
      content: "<p>This step is on the main page with the modal closed.</p>",
      beforeStep: closeModal
    },
    {
      type: 'element',
      selector: '.modal .button',
      title: "Step 2",
      content: "This step should wait for the modal to open first!",
      beforeStep: openModal,
      scroll: false
    },
    {
      title : 'Step 3',
      content: "<p>Last step is on the main page with the modal closed.</p>",
      beforeStep: closeModal
    }
  ];
  
  // Make sure to call resume to let the joyride know it should continue
  function openModal(){
    modal.open.then(function(){
        joyride.resumeJoyride();
    });
  }
  
  function closeModal(){
    modal.close.then(function(){
        joyride.resumeJoyride();
    });
  }

Multipage Joyride

You can also use the beforeStep callback to navigate between different pages in between steps.

Here's an example for ui-router, if you're using an older version of ui-router then you might need to use the $stateChange* events instead of $transitions:

  1. In your controller use beforeStep to navigate to a different state:
joyride.config = {
  steps : [
    {
      title: "Step 1",
      content: "<p>Welcome to the joyride demo!</p><p>This is a simple joyride directive built to have minimal dependencies.</p>"
    },
    {
      title: "Step 2",
      content: "<p>Welcome to the joyride demo!</p><p>This is a simple joyride directive built to have minimal dependencies.</p>",
      beforeStep: toHome
    },
    {
      title: "Step 3",
      content: "<p>Welcome to the joyride demo!</p><p>This is a simple joyride directive built to have minimal dependencies.</p>",
      beforeStep: toAbout
    }
  ]
}

function toHome(){
  $state.go("home");
}

function toAbout(){
  $state.go("about");
}

  1. To resume the joyride we need to call resumeJoyride after the state changes and if no state change takes place at all:
app.run(function($transitions, joyrideService, $timeout) {
  
  /** After changing states call resumeJoyride 
   *  to un-pause. The $timeout just fixes an
   *  animation issue if the next step is of
   *  type "element"
  **/
  $transitions.onFinish({ }, function(trans) {
    trans.promise.then(function(response){
      $timeout(function(){
        joyrideService.resumeJoyride();  
      })
    });
  });

  /** Handles the case when you're beforeStep 
   *  function calls $state.go and tries to 
   *  go to the current state.
  **/
  $transitions.onBefore({ }, function(trans) {
    trans.promise.then(null,function(response){
        joyrideService.resumeJoyride();  
    })
  });
  
})

Responsive Positioning

It's possible to switch the placement of a step based on the screen width by declaring a responsive property inside a step object:

    {
      type: 'element',
      selector: '.button',
      title: "Step 2",
      content: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.",
      placement: 'left',
      responsive: {
        breakpoint: 600,
        placement: 'top'
      }
    }

The responsive object takes 2 properties, the breakpoint where you want to change the placement (in pixels) and the new placement, if no placement is given then it will be set to bottom by default. This directive only supports the use of 1 breakpoint.

Methods

Method Description
next Goes to the next step
prev Goes to the previous step
goTo Goes to a specific step, requires a number representing the index of the step
Usage:
$scope.customNext = function(){
    joyride.next();
}

$scope.go = function(index){
    joyride.goTo(index)
}

Animations

This directive relies on ngAnimate and the $animate service for handling animation classes. By default the joyride has simple fade in/out animations, but you can customize them by using the .jr_start class for start/end animations and the .jr_transition for step transition animations:

.jr_container{
    transition: opacity 0.3s, transform 0.3s
}

//////// START/END ANIMATIONS
.jr_container.jr_start-add {
  opacity: 0;
}
.jr_container.jr_start-add-active {
  opacity: 1;
}

.jr_container.jr_start-remove {
  opacity: 1;
}
.jr_container.jr_start-remove-active {
  opacity: 0;
}
//////////// STEP TRANSITION ANIMATIONS
.jr_container.jr_transition{
  opacity: 0;
}
.jr_container.jr_transition-add {
  opacity: 1;
  transform: translateY(0px);
}
.jr_container.jr_transition-add-active {
    opacity: 0;
    transform: translateY(-100px);
}

.jr_container.jr_transition-remove {
    opacity: 0;
    transform: translateY(-100px);
}

.jr_container.jr_transition-remove-active {
  opacity: 1;
    transform: translateY(0px);
}

Custom Templates

If you want to use your own template for the joyride then add the template in an html file then enter the path to that file in your controller similar to the following:

joyride.config.template = 'partials/myCustomTemplate.html'

Your template must contain a div with the class jr_container, i would recommend copying the html of the default template and editing it, you can find the html below:

<div class="jr_container" id="jr_step_{{joyride.current}}">
  <div class="jr_step">
    <h4 ng-if="joyride.config.steps[joyride.current].title" class="jr_title">{{joyride.config.steps[joyride.current].title}}</h4>
    <div ng-if="joyride.config.steps[joyride.current].content" class="jr_content" ng-bind-html="joyride.config.steps[joyride.current].content | jr_trust"></div>
  </div>
  <div class="jr_buttons">
    <div class="jr_left_buttons">
      <a class="jr_button jr_skip" ng-click="joyride.start = false">Skip</a>
    </div>

    <div class="jr_right_buttons">
      <a class="jr_button jr_prev" ng-click="joyride.prev()" ng-class="{'disabled' : joyride.current === 0}">Prev</a>
      <a class="jr_button jr_next" ng-click="joyride.next()" ng-bind="(joyride.current == joyride.config.steps.length-1) ? 'Finish' : 'Next'"></a>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
