AngularJS directives for intro.js

angular-intro.js

An angularjs directive that wraps intro.js functionality.

See the project page for an overview.

Bower

You can install this package through Bower by using the following command :

bower install angular-intro.js --save

NPM

You can install this package through NPM by using the following command :

npm install angular-intro.js --save

Webpack

You can use this package in your webpack project, first by including intro.js and its css file. Next you need to require this package.

import ngIntro from 'angular-intro.js';

This project will return the whole angular module so if you want to use as a dependency in your own angular module you would need to reference the name ngIntro.name.

How to use

The two main directives are ng-intro-options and ng-intro-method.

Setting Options

ng-intro-options="IntroOptions"

You should create a $scope.IntroOptions in your controller which contains the intro.js options. The options are exactly the same as the original. This also allows you to modify the options as part of your controller behavior if necessary. You don't have to use IntroOptions, you can specify some other name.

Start method

ng-intro-method="CallMe"

The directive will create a method on $scope.CallMe so that you can invoke it yourself later. Make sure the there isn't a method CallMe already in your controller. To use the method be sure to wrap it with $timeout. You don't have to use CallMe, you can specify some other name.

Call the start method

You can invoke it from an event such a click,

ng-click="CallMe();"

as long as you are still in the same controller scope. You can also specify a step number in the method call, CallMe(3);.

You can start the intro from code, either call $scope.CallMe();. If the $scope.CallMe(); doesn't work, it might be because your DOM isn't ready. Put it in a $timeout.

Autostart

If you set ng-intro-autostart="true", the intro will start as soon as the directive is ready.

Autorefresh

If an intro tour includes dynamic content, use ng-intro-autorefresh="true" to call Intro.js' refresh method.

Callbacks

Intro.js provides several callbacks. You can receive these callbacks in your controller. For example, for the onchange event, specify the function name in the directive.

ng-intro-onchange="ChangeEvent"

In your controller, create ChangeEvent

$scope.ChangeEvent = function (targetElement, scope) {
    console.log("Change Event called");
    console.log(targetElement); //The target element
    console.log(this); //The IntroJS object
};

The other intro.js callbacks you can specify are ng-intro-oncomplete, ng-intro-onexit, ng-intro-onchange ng-intro-onbeforechange and ng-intro-onafterchange.

Exit Method

ng-intro-exit-method="ExitMe"

Then in your controller, you can force exit using

$scope.ExitMe(function() { //callback } );

Plunker

You can also use this sample plunker

How to build

If you want to build or contribute, first, get the node modules needed (grunt, bower)

npm install

Next, use bower to get the JS libraries needed

node_modules/.bin/bower install

Then, whenever you make any changes, get grunt to build the minified angular-intro.min.js

node_modules/.bin/grunt

Finally, view the demo page to make sure everything's working; start a web server:

./node_modules/.bin/grunt connect:server
