Getting Started
First, decide whether you want to use classic Spectacle, or MDX Spectacle, which has all the same functionality but allows you to write your Spectacle presentation in markdown.
Classic Spectacle
There are three ways to get started on your presentation. The first way is to run the following command in your terminal:
npx create-react-app my-presentation --scripts-version spectacle-scripts
The second way to get started is by using the Spectacle Boilerplate.
Both of these ways will give you everything you'll need to get started, including a sample presentation in the presentation
folder. You can change the props and tags as needed for your presentation or delete everying in presentation/index.js
to start from scratch. From here you can go to Development to get started.
The third way to get started is by running npm install spectacle
in your terminal and writing your own build configurations. We also provide full UMD builds (with a Spectacle
global variable) of the library at dist/spectacle.js
and dist/spectacle.min.js
for more general use cases. You could, for example, include the library via a script tag with: https://unpkg.com/spectacle@VERSION/dist/spectacle.min.js
.
Spectacle MDX
Download the Spectacle MDX Boilerplate.
This repository will give you everything you'll need to get started, including a sample presentation in the presentation
folder. You can change the props and tags as needed for your presentation or delete everything in the index.mdx
file to start from scratch. From here you can go to Development to get started.
NOTE: We have webpack externals for react
, react-dom
, and prop-types
, so you will need to provide them in your upstream build or something like linking in via script
tags in your HTML page for all three libraries. This comports with our project dependencies which place these three libraries in peerDependencies
.
One Page
To aid with speedy development we've provided a simple boilerplate HTML page with a bespoke script tag that contains your entire presentation. The rest of the setup will take care of transpiling your React/ESnext code, providing Spectacle, React, and ReactDOM libraries, and being raring to go with a minimum of effort.
We can start with this project's sample at one-page.html
. It's the same presentation as the fully-built-from-source version, with a few notable exceptions:
There are no
import
s orrequire
s. Everything must come from the global namespace. This includesSpectacle
,React
,ReactDOM
and all the Spectacle exports from./src/index.js
--Deck
,Slide
,themes
, etc.The presentation must include exactly one script tag with the type
text/spectacle
that is a function. Presently, that function is directly inserted inline into a wrapper code boilerplate as a React Componentrender
function. The wrapper is transpiled. There should not be any extraneous content around it like outer variables or comments.Good examples:
<script type="text/spectacle"> () => ( <Deck>{/* SLIDES */}</Deck> ) </script>
<script type="text/spectacle"> () => { // Code-y code stuff in JS... return ( <Deck>{/* SLIDES */}</Deck> ); } </script>
Bad examples of what not to do:
<script type="text/spectacle"> // Outer comment (BAD) const outerVariable = "BAD"; () => ( <Deck>{/* SLIDES */}</Deck> ) </script>
If you want to create your own theme settings, you can use the following code snippet to change the themes default settings.
<script type="text/spectacle"> () => { const { themes: { defaultTheme } } = Spectacle; const theme = defaultTheme({ // Change default settings primary: "blue", secondary: "red" }, { primary: "Helvetica", }); return ( <Deck transition={['zoom']} theme={theme}> <Slide>some stuff</Slide> <Slide>other stuff</Slide> <Slide>some more stuff</Slide> </Deck> ); } </script>
... with those guidelines in mind, here's the boilerplate that you can copy-and-paste into an HTML file and start a Spectacle presentation that works from the get go!

Development
After downloading the boilerplate, run the following commands on the project's root directory...
npm install
(you can also useyarn
)rm -R .git
to remove the existing version controlnpm start
to start up the local server or visit http://localhost:3000/#/
... and we are ready to roll
Build & Deployment
Building the dist version of the slides is as easy as running npm run build:dist
If you want to deploy the slideshow to surge, run npm run deploy
⚠️ WARNING: If you are deploying the dist version to GitHub Pages, note that the built bundle uses an absolute path to the /dist/
directory while GitHub Pages requires the relative ./dist/
to find any embedded assets and/or images. A very hacky way to fix this is to edit one place in the produced bundle, as shown in this GitHub issue.
Presenting
Spectacle comes with a built in presenter mode. It shows you a slide lookahead, current time and your current slide:
You also have the option of a stopwatch to count the elapsed time:
To present:
- Run
npm start
. You will be redirected to a URL containing your presentation or visit http://localhost:3000/#/ - Open a second browser window on a different screen
- Add
?presenter
or?presenter&timer
immediately after the/
, e.g.: http://localhost:3000/#/0?presenter or http://localhost:3000/#/?presenter&timer - Give an amazingly stylish presentation
NOTE: Any windows/tabs in the same browser that are running Spectacle will sync to one another, even if you don't want to use presentation mode
Check it out:
You can toggle the presenter or overview mode by pressing respectively alt+p
and alt+o
.
Controls
| Key Combination | Function | | --------------- | ------------------------------ | | Right Arrow | Next Slide | | Left Arrow | Previous Slide | | Space | Next Slide | | Shift+Space | Previous Slide | | Alt/Option + O | Toggle Overview Mode | | Alt/Option + P | Toggle Presenter Mode | | Alt/Option + T | Toggle Timer in Presenter Mode | | Alt/Option + A | Start autoplay (if enabled) |
Fullscreen
Fullscreen can be toggled via browser options, or by hovering over the bottom right corner of your window until the fullscreen icon appears and clicking it.
PDF Export
You can export a PDF from your Spectacle presentation either from the command line or browser:
CLI
- Run
npm install spectacle-renderer -g
- Run
npm start
on your project and wait for it to build and be available - Run
spectacle-renderer
A PDF is created in your project directory. For more options and configuration of this tool, check out:
https://github.com/FormidableLabs/spectacle-renderer
Browser
After running npm start
and opening http://localhost:3000/#/ in your browser...
- Add
?export
after the/
on the URL of the page you are redirected to, e.g.: http://localhost:3000/#/?export - Bring up the print dialog
(ctrl or cmd + p)
- Change destination to "Save as PDF", as shown below:
If you want a printer friendly version, repeat the above process but instead print from http://localhost:3000/#/?export&print
Query Parameters
Here is a list of all valid query parameters that can be placed after \
on the URL.
| Query | Description |
| ------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 0, 1, 2, 3... etc. | Will take you to the corresponding slide, with 0
being the first slide in the presentation. |
| ?export | Creates a single-page overview of your slides, that you can then print. |
| ?export&print | Creates a black & white single-page overview of your slides. |
| ?presenter | Takes you to presenter mode where you’ll see current slide, next slide, current time, and your notes. |
| ?presenter&timer | Takes you to presenter mode where you’ll see current slide, next slide, timer, and your notes. |
| ?overview | Take you to overview mode where you’ll see all your slides. |
NOTE: If you add a non-valid query parameter, you will be taken to a blank page. Removing or replacing the query parameter with a valid query parameter and refreshing the page will return you to the correct destination.
Basic Concepts
Main file
Your presentation files & assets will live in the presentation
folder.
The main .js
file you write your deck in is /presentation/index.js
Check it out here in the boilerplate.
// index.js
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import {
Appear,
BlockQuote,
Cite,
CodePane,
Code,
Deck,
Fill,
Fit,
Heading,
Image,
Layout,
ListItem,
List,
Quote,
Slide,
Text
} from 'spectacle';
export default class extends Component {
render() {
return (
<Deck>
<Slide>
<Text>Hello</Text>
</Slide>
</Deck>
);
}
}
Here is where you can use the library's tags to compose your presentation. While you can use any JSX syntax here, building your presentation with the supplied tags allows for theming to work properly.
The bare minimum you need to start is a Deck
element and a Slide
element. Each Slide
element represents a slide inside of your slideshow.
Themes
In Spectacle, themes are functions that return style objects for screen
& print
.
You can import the default theme from:
import createTheme from 'spectacle/lib/themes/default';
Or create your own based upon the source.
index.js
is what you would edit in order to create a custom theme of your own, using object based styles.
You will want to edit index.html
to include any web fonts or additional CSS that your theme requires.
createTheme(colors, fonts)
Spectacle's functional theme system allows you to pass in color and font variables that you can use on your elements. The fonts configuration object can take a string for a system font or an object that specifies it‘s a Google Font. If you use a Google Font you can provide a styles array for loading different weights and variations. Google Font tags will be automatically created. See the example below:
const theme = createTheme(
{
primary: 'red',
secondary: 'blue'
},
{
primary: 'Helvetica',
secondary: {
name: 'Droid Serif',
googleFont: true,
styles: ['400', '700i']
}
}
);
The returned theme object can then be passed to the Deck
tag via the theme
prop, and will override the default styles.
FAQ
How can I easily style the base components for my presentation?
Historically, custom styling in Spectacle has meant screwing with a theme file, or using !important
overrides. We fixed that. Spectacle is now driven by emotion, so you can bring your own styling library, whether it's emotion itself, or something like styled-components or glamorous. For example, if you want to create a custom Heading style:
import styled from 'react-emotion';
import { Heading } from 'spectacle';
const CustomHeading = styled(Heading)`
font-size: 1.2em;
color: papayawhip;
`;
Tag API
In Spectacle, presentations are composed of a set of base tags. We can separate these into three categories: Main tags, Layout tags & Element tags.
Main Tags
Deck
The Deck tag is the root level tag for your presentation. It supports the following props:
| Name | PropType | Description | Default |
| ----------------------- | ----------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------- |
| autoplay | PropTypes.bool | Automatically advance slides. | false
|
| autoplayDuration | PropTypes.number | Accepts integer value in milliseconds for global autoplay duration. | 7000
|
| autoplayLoop | PropTypes.bool | Keep slides in loop. | true
|
| controls | PropTypes.bool | Show control arrows when not in fullscreen. | true
|
| contentHeight | PropTypes.numbers | Baseline content area height. | 700px
|
| contentWidth | PropTypes.numbers | Baseline content area width. | 1000px
|
| disableKeyboardControls | PropTypes.bool | Toggle keyboard control. | false
|
| history | PropTypes.object | Accepts custom configuration for history. | |
| progress | PropTypes.string | Accepts pacman
, bar
, number
or none
. To override the color, change the 'quaternary' color in the theme. | pacman
|
| theme | PropTypes.object | Accepts a theme object for styling your presentation. | |
| transition | PropTypes.array | Accepts slide
, zoom
, fade
or spin
, and can be combined. Sets global slide transitions. Note: If you use the 'scale' transition, fitted text won't work in Safari. | |
| transitionDuration | PropTypes.number | Accepts integer value in milliseconds for global transition duration. | 500
|
Slide (Base)
The slide tag represents each slide in the presentation. Giving a slide tag an id
attribute will replace its number based navigation hash with the id
provided. It supports the following props, in addition to any of the props outlined in the Base class props listing:
| Name | PropType | Description | Default |
| ------------------ | ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- |
| align | PropTypes.string | Accepts a space delimited value for positioning interior content. The first value can be flex-start
(left), center
(middle), or flex-end
(right). The second value can be flex-start
(top) , center
(middle), or flex-end
(bottom). | align="center center"
|
| controlColor | PropTypes.string | Used to override color of control arrows on a per slide basis, accepts color aliases, or valid color values. | Set by Deck
's control
prop |
| goTo | PropTypes.number | Used to navigate to a slide for out-of-order presenting. Slide numbers start at 1
. This can also be used to skip slides as well. | |
| id | PropTypes.string | Used to create a string based hash. | |
| maxHeight | PropTypes.number | Used to set max dimensions of the Slide. | |
| maxWidth | PropTypes.number | Used to set max dimensions of the Slide. | |
| notes | PropTypes.string | Text which will appear in the presenter mode. Can be HTML. | |
| onActive | PropTypes.func | Optional function that is called with the slide index when the slide comes into view. | |
| progressColor | PropTypes.string | Used to override color of progress elements on a per slide basis, accepts color aliases, or valid color values. | quaternary
color set by theme |
| transition | PropTypes.array | Used to override transition prop on a per slide basis, accepts slide
, zoom
, fade
, spin
, or a function, and can be combined. This will affect both enter and exit transitions. Note: If you use the 'scale' transition, fitted text won't work in Safari. | Set by Deck
's transition
prop |
| transitionIn | PropTypes.array | Specifies the slide transition when the slide comes into view. Accepts the same values as transition. |
| transitionOut | PropTypes.array | Specifies the slide transition when the slide exits. Accepts the same values as transition. | Set by Deck
's transition
prop |
| transitionDuration | PropTypes.number | Accepts integer value in milliseconds for slide transition duration. | Set by Deck
's transition
prop |
Transition Function
Spectacle now supports defining custom transitions. The function prototype is (transitioning: boolean, forward: boolean) => Object
. The transitioning
param is true when the slide enters and exits. The forward
param is true
when the slide is entering, false
when the slide is exiting. The function returns a style object. You can mix string-based transitions and functions. Styles provided when transitioning
is false
will appear during the lifecyle of the slide. An example is shown below:
<Slide
transition={[
'fade',
(transitioning, forward) => {
const angle = forward ? -180 : 180;
return {
transform: `
translate3d(0%, ${transitioning ? 100 : 0}%, 0)
rotate(${transitioning ? angle : 0}deg)
`,
backgroundColor: transitioning ? '#26afff' : '#000'
};
}
]}
>
Notes
The notes tag allows to use any tree of react elements as the notes of a slide. It is used as a child node of a slide tag and its children override any value given as the notes
attribute of its parent slide.
<Slide ...>
<Notes>
<h4>Slide notes</h4>
<ol>
<li>First note</li>
<li>Second note</li>
</ol>
</Notes>
{/* Slide content */}
</Slide>
MarkdownSlides
The MarkdownSlides function lets you create a single or multiple slides using Markdown. It can be used as a tagged template literal or a function. Three dashes (---
are used as a delimiter between slides.
Tagged Template Literal Usage
<Deck ...>
{MarkdownSlides`
## Slide One Title
Slide Content
---
## Slide Two Title
Slide Content
`}
</Deck>
Function Usage
const slidesMarkdown = `
## Slide One Title
Slide Content
---
## Slide Two Title
Slide Content
`;
....
<Deck ...>
{MarkdownSlides(slidesMarkdown)}
</Deck>
Layout Tags
Layout tags are used for layout using Flexbox within your slide. They are Layout
, Fit
& Fill
.
Layout
The layout tag is used to wrap Fit
and Fill
tags to provide a row.
Fit
The fit tag only takes up as much space as its bounds provide.
Fill
The fill tag takes up all the space available to it. For example, if you have a Fill
tag next to a Fit
tag, the Fill
tag will take up the rest of the space. Adjacent Fill
tags split the difference and form an equidistant grid.
Markdown Tag
Markdown (Base)
The Markdown tag is used to add inline markdown to your slide. You can provide markdown source via the source
prop, or as children. You can also provide a custom mdast configuration via the mdastConfig
prop.
Markdown generated tags aren't prop configurable, and instead render with your theme defaults.
| Name | PropType | Description | Default | | ------ | ---------------- | --------------- | ------- | | source | PropTypes.string | Markdown source | |
Magic Tag
Magic
NOTE: The Magic tag uses the Web Animations API. If you use the Magic tag and want it to work places other than Chrome, you will need to include the polyfill https://github.com/web-animations/web-animations-js
The Magic Tag recreates Magic Move behavior that slide authors might be accustomed to coming from Keynote. It wraps slides and transitions between positional values for child elements. This means that if you have two similar strings, we will transition common characters to their new positions. This does not transition on non positional values such as slide background color or font size.
⚠️ WARNING: Do not use a transition
prop on your slides if you are wrapping them with a Magic tag since it will take care of the transition for you.
<Magic>
<Slide>
<Heading>First Heading</Heading>
</Slide>
<Slide>
<Heading>Second Heading</Heading>
</Slide>
</Magic>
Transitioning between similar states will vary based upon the input content. It will look better when there are more common elements. An upcoming patch will allow for custom keys, which will provide greater control over which elements are identified as common for reuse.
Until then, feedback is very welcome, as this is a non-trivial feature and we anticipate iterating on the behind the scenes mechanics of how it works, so that we can accommodate most use cases.
Element Tags
The element tags are the bread and butter of your slide content. Most of these tags derive their props from the Base class, but the ones that have special options will have them listed:
Appear
This tag does not extend from Base. It's special. Wrapping elements in the appear tag makes them appear/disappear in order in response to navigation.
For best performance, wrap the contents of this tag in a native DOM element like a <div>
or <span>
.
NOTE: When using CodePane
tag inside an Appear
tag you must wrap it inside a <div>
....
<Appear>
<div>
<CodePane source="CodePane" lang="js" />
</div>
<Appear>
....
| Name | PropType | Description | Default |
| ------------------ | ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------- |
| order | PropTypes.number | An optional integer starting at 1 for the presentation order of the Appear tags within a slide. If a slide contains ordered and unordered Appear tags, the unordered will show first. |
| transitionDuration | PropTypes.number | An optional duration (in milliseconds) for the Appear animation. | 300
|
| startValue | Proptypes.object | An optional style object that defines the starting, inactive state of the Appear tag. The default animation is a fade-in. | { opacity: 0 }
|
| endValue | Proptypes.object | An optional style object that defines the ending, active state of the Appear tag. The default animation is a simple fade-in. | { opacity: 1 }
|
| easing | PropTypes.string | An optional victory easing curve for the Appear animation. The various options are documented in the Victory Animation easing docs. | quadInOut
|
Anim
If you want extra flexibility with animated animation, you can use the Anim component instead of Appear. It will let you have multi-step animations for each individual fragment. You can use this to create fancy animated intros, in-slide carousels, and many other fancy things. This tag does not extend from Base. It's special.
For best performance, wrap the contents of this tag in a native DOM element like a <div>
or <span>
.
NOTE: CodePane
tag can not be used inside a Anim
tag.
| Name | PropType | Description | Default |
| ------------------ | ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | --------------- |
| order | PropTypes.number | An optional integer for the presentation order of the Appear tags within a slide. If a slide contains ordered and unordered Appear tags, the unordered will show first. | Starting at 1
|
| transitionDuration | PropTypes.number | A duration (in milliseconds) for the animation. | 300
|
| fromStyle | Proptypes.object | A style object that defines the starting, inactive state of the Anim tag. | |
| toStyle | Proptypes.array | An array of style objects that define each step in the animation. They will step from one toStyle object to another, until that fragment is finished with its animations. | |
| easing | PropTypes.string | A victory easing curve for the Appear animation. The various options are documented in the Victory Animation easing docs. | |
| onAnim | PropTypes.fun | This function is called every time the Anim component plays an animation. It'll be called with two arguments, forwards, a boolean indicating if it was stepped forwards or backwards, and the index of the animation that was just played. | |
BlockQuote, Quote and Cite (Base)
These tags create a styled blockquote. Use them as follows:
<BlockQuote>
<Quote>Ken Wheeler is amazing</Quote>
<Cite>Everyone</Cite>
</BlockQuote>
NOTE: By default the text color of the Quote
tag is the same as the background color and may not show up. Use the bgColor
and/or textColor
props on the Slide
or Quote
tags to make it visible.
<Slide transition={['fade']} bgColor="secondary" textColor="primary">
<BlockQuote>
<Quote>Example Quote</Quote>
<Cite>Author</Cite>
</BlockQuote>
</Slide>
<Slide transition={['fade']}>
<BlockQuote>
<Quote textColor="secondary">Example Quote</Quote>
<Cite>Author</Cite>
</BlockQuote>
</Slide>
CodePane (Base)
This tag displays a styled, highlighted code preview. I prefer putting my code samples in external .example
files and requiring them using raw-loader
as shown in the demo. Here are the props:
| Name | PropType | Description | Default |
| --------- | ---------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------- |
| lang | PropTypes.string | Prism compatible language name. i.e: 'javascript' | |
| source | PropTypes.string | String of code to be shown | |
| className | PropTypes.string | String of a className to be appended to the CodePane | |
| theme | PropTypes.string | Accepts light
, dark
, or external
for the source editor's syntax highlighting. | dark
|
If you want to change the theme used here, you can include a prism theme in index.html via a style or a link tag. For your theme to be actually applied
correctly you need to set the theme
prop to "external"
, which disables our builtin light and dark themes.
Please note that including a theme can actually influence all CodePane and Playground components, even if you don't set this prop, since some Prism
themes use very generic CSS selectors.
CodePane and Playground both use the prism library under the hood, which has several themes that are available to include.
Code (Base)
A simple tag for wrapping inline text that you want lightly styled in a monospace font.
Component Playground
This tag displays a two-pane view with a ES6 source code editor on the right and a preview pane on the left for showing off custom React components. React
and render
are supplied as variables. To render a component call render
with some JSX code. Any console
output will be forwarded to the main console in the browser.
For more information on the playground read the docs over at react-live.
| Name | PropType | Description | Default |
| ---------------------- | ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------- |
| code | PropTypes.string | The code block you want to initially supply to the component playground. If none is supplied a demo component will be displayed. | |
| previewBackgroundColor | PropTypes.string | The background color you want for the preview pane. | #fff
|
| theme | PropTypes.string | Accepts light
, dark
, or external
for the source editor's syntax highlighting. | dark
|
| scope | PropTypes.object | Defines any outside modules or components to expose to the playground. React, Component, and render are supplied for you. | |
Example code blocks:
const Button = ({ title }) => <button type="button">{title}</button>;
render(<Button title="My Button" />);
class View extends React.Component {
componentDidMount() {
console.log('Hello');
}
render() {
return <div>My View</div>;
}
}
render(<View />);
If you want to change the theme used here, please refer to the instructions above in the CodePane's API reference.
Go To Action (Base)
The GoToAction tag lets you jump to another slide in your deck. The GoToAction can be used a simple button that supports Base
styling or accept a render prop with a callback to support custom components.
| Name | PropType | Description | Default |
| ------ | ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | --------------- |
| slide | PropTypes.string or PropTypes.number | The string identifier or number of the side the button should jump to. This is only used in the simple button configuration. | Starting at 1
|
| render | PropTypes.func | A function with a goToSlide
param that should return a React element to render. This is only used in the custom component configuration. | |
Simple Button Configuration Example
<GoToAction slide={3}>Jump to 3</GoToAction>
Custom Component Configuration Example
<GoToAction
render={goToSlide => (
<CustomComponent onClick={() => goToSlide('wait-wut')}>
WAIT WUT!?
</CustomComponent>
)}
/>
Heading (Base)
Heading tags are special in that, when you specify a size
prop, they generate the appropriate heading tag, and extend themselves with a style that is defined in the theme file for that heading. Line height can be adjusted via a numeric lineHeight
prop.
| Name | PropType | Description | Default |
| ---------- | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------- |
| fit | PropTypes.boolean | When set to true, fits text to the slide's width. Note: If you use the 'scale' transition, this won't work in Safari. | false
|
| lineHeight | PropTypes.number | Sets the line height of your text. |
| size | PropTypes.number | Sets the heading tag |
Image (Base)
| Name | PropType | Description | Default |
| ------- | ------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------- | ------- |
| alt | PropTypes.string | Set the alt
attribute of the image | |
| display | PropTypes.string | Set the display
style attribute of the image | |
| height | PropTypes.string or PropTypes.number | Set the height
to the image | |
| src | PropTypes.string | Set the src
attribute of the image | |
| width | PropTypes.string or PropTypes.number | Set the width
to the image | |
Link (Base)
The link tag is used to render <a>
tags. It accepts an href
prop:
| Name | PropType | Description | Default |
| ------ | ---------------- | ---------------------------------- | ------- |
| href | PropTypes.string | String of url for href
attribute | |
| target | PropTypes.string | Set the target

| reversed | PropTypes.bool | Set the reversed
attribute | |
| start | PropTypes.number | Set the start
attribute. | 1
|
| type | PropTypes.string | Set the type
attribute. | "1"
|
These tags create lists. Use them as follows:
Ordered lists:
<List ordered start={2} type="A">
<ListItem>Item 1</ListItem>
<ListItem>Item 2</ListItem>
<ListItem>Item 3</ListItem>
<ListItem>Item 4</ListItem>
</List>
Unordered lists:
<List>
