Framework7 Plugin Welcomescreen

This plugin will show a tutorial screen when starting Framework7 apps and websites. (Note: There is also a generic version that does not rely on Framework7 available)

Screenshot

Live demo

You can find a running demo here.

Install

1. Add dependency

With module bundler (Webpack, Vite...)

$ yarn add f7-welcomescreen

In your main js file do:

import F7WelcomescreenPlugin from 'f7-welcomescreen';

In your stylesheet add F7 styles (if not exist yet!). This is when using Webpack:

@import '~f7-welcomescreen/styles.css';

For Vite

@import 'f7-welcomescreen/styles.css';

Alternative: Without bundler (direct linking)

Copy files f7-welcomescreen.min.js and f7-welcomescreen.min.css from dist into your project folder.
Reference the files in HTML like this:

<head>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="f7-welcomescreen.min.css"></link>
  <script src="f7-welcomescreen.min.js"></script>
</head>

3. Define slides

var welcomescreen_slides = [
  {
    id: 'slide0',
    title: 'Slide 0', // optional
    picture: '<div class="tutorialicon">♥</div>',
    text: 'Welcome to this tutorial. In the next steps we will guide you through a manual that will teach you how to use this app.',
  },
  {
    id: 'slide1',
    title: 'Slide 1', // optional
    picture: '<div class="tutorialicon">✲</div>',
    text: 'This is slide 2',
  },
  {
    id: 'slide2',
    title: 'Slide 2', // optional
    picture: '<div class="tutorialicon">♫</div>',
    text: 'This is slide 3',
  },
  {
    id: 'slide3',
    //title: 'NO TITLE',
    picture: '<div class="tutorialicon">☆</div>',
    text: 'Thanks for reading! Enjoy this app.<br><br><a id="tutorial-close-btn" href="#">End Tutorial</a>',
  },
];

Used parameters are:

id Set an id for this slide
picture Set free html here
text You can set html here but I recommend using just plain text

4. Initialize & options

For Framework7 Core version

Framework7.use(F7WelcomescreenPlugin);

// Define options for welcomescreen plugin
var options = {
  bgcolor: '#0da6ec',
  fontcolor: '#fff',
};

var app = new Framework7({
  root: '#app', // or what ever your root is
  name: 'welcomescreen-demo', // choose a name
  welcomescreen: {
    // Setup welcomescreen plugin
    slides: welcomescreen_slides,
    options: options,
  },
});

For Framework7 React version

app.js

Framework7.use(F7WelcomescreenPlugin);

app.jsx

var options = {
  bgcolor: '#0da6ec',
  fontcolor: '#fff',
};

const f7params = {
  name: 'welcomescreen-demo',
  theme: 'auto',
  store: store,
  routes: routes,
  welcomescreen: {
    slides: welcomescreen_slides,
    options: options,
  },
};

Available options (if not set, default will be used)

bgcolor Set background color
fontcolor Set font color
closeButton (Default: true) Enabled/disable close button
closeButtonText (Default: 'Skip') Close button text
cssClass (Default: '') Additional class on container
pagination (Default: true) Swiper pagination
navigation (Default: false) Swiper navigation
loop (Default: false) Swiper loop
template (Default: String) Pass in a custom Dom7 template to render Welcomescreen
open (Default: true) Open welcome screen on init
onOpened (Default: none) Callback function when welcomescreen is opened
onClosed (Default: none) Callback function when welcomescreen is closed
parallax (Default: true), Enable parallax
parallaxBackgroundImage (Default: 'http://lorempixel.com/900/600/nightlife/2/') Parallax default background image
parallaxBackground (Default percentage: '-23%') Parallax default background speed effect
parallaxSlideElements (Default number per element: {title: -100, subtitle: -200, text: -300}) Set speed of each element in parallax mode

Note:

number - value in px (as for title, subtitle in example above) to move element depending on progress. In this case such element will be moved on ± this value in px depending on slide position (next or previous)
percentage - (as for "parallax-bg") to move element depending on progress and on its size. In this case such element will be moved on ± this percentage of its size (width in horizontal direction, and height in vertical direction) depending on slide position (next or previous). So if element has 400px width and you specified data-swiper-parallax="50%" then it will be moved on ± 200px

API

The following methods are available on a welcomescreen instance

app.welcomescreen.open(); // Open the screen
app.welcomescreen.close(); // Closes it
app.welcomescreen.next(); // Go to next slide
app.welcomescreen.previous(); // Go to previous slide
app.welcomescreen.slideTo(i); // Go to slide with index i

Example project

See demo directory. The demo has the following scripts:

yarn start Starts a http server and serves content from demo/build
yarn build Creates a new build into the demo/build directory
yarn watch Watches for changes in .js files and runs yarn build

I recommend to just run yarn start from the demo directory. Then open http://127.0.0.1:8080 in your browser.
