Question 1

How to customize the tooltip in react native copilot?

Accepted Answer

You can pass a tooltipStyle prop to CopilotProvider for basic styling, or provide a custom tooltipComponent for complete UI control. The README includes examples for changing colors, borders, and width with Dimensions API.

Question 2

React native copilot vs react-native-tour-guide?

Accepted Answer

React Native Copilot offers more customization with SVG overlays and event listening, while react-native-tour-guide might be simpler for basic tours. Copilot is better for apps needing polished animations and deep integration with app logic.

Question 3

How to handle ScrollView in a copilot tutorial?

Accepted Answer

Pass the ScrollView reference as the second argument to the start() function. This ensures tooltips are positioned correctly within scrollable areas, as explained in the 'Usage inside a ScrollView' section of the README.

Question 4

Can I skip steps programmatically in react native copilot?

Accepted Answer

Yes, use the goToNth function from the useCopilot hook to jump to specific steps, or set the active prop on CopilotStep to false. This allows dynamic tour flow based on user interactions or app state.

Question 5

How to localize button labels in react native copilot?

Accepted Answer

Use the labels prop in CopilotProvider to set custom text for buttons like previous, next, skip, and finish. This supports internationalization by allowing translation of all user-facing strings, as shown in the 'Custom labels' example.

Question 6

What events does react native copilot emit?

Accepted Answer

It emits start, stop, and stepChange events via copilotEvents from useCopilot. You can attach listeners to track tutorial progress and synchronize with app logic, such as logging completion or triggering animations.
