The component is based on FlatList so usage is very similar. Pass a data-array to AppIntroSlider along with a renderItem-function (or you can use the default basic layout).
import React from 'react';
import { StyleSheet } from 'react-native';
import AppIntroSlider from 'react-native-app-intro-slider';
const slides = [
{
key: 'somethun',
title: 'Title 1',
text: 'Description.\nSay something cool',
image: require('./assets/1.jpg'),
backgroundColor: '#59b2ab',
},
{
key: 'somethun-dos',
title: 'Title 2',
text: 'Other cool stuff',
image: require('./assets/2.jpg'),
backgroundColor: '#febe29',
},
{
key: 'somethun1',
title: 'Rocket guy',
text: 'I\'m already out of descriptions\n\nLorem ipsum bla bla bla',
image: require('./assets/3.jpg'),
backgroundColor: '#22bcb5',
}
];
export default class App extends React.Component {
this.state = {
showRealApp: false
}
_renderItem = (item) => {
return (
<View style={styles.slide}>
<Text style={styles.title}>{item.title}</Text>
<Image source={item.image} />
<Text style={style.text}>{item.text}</Text>
</View>
);
}
_onDone = () => {
// User finished the introduction. Show real app through
// navigation or simply by controlling state
this.setState({ showRealApp: true });
}
render() {
if (this.state.showRealApp) {
return <App />;
} else {
return <AppIntroSlider renderItem={this._renderItem} slides={slides} onDone={this._onDone}/>;
}
}
}
Configuring buttons

import React from 'react';
import { Ionicons } from '@expo/vector-icons';
import { StyleSheet, View } from 'react-native';
import AppIntroSlider from 'react-native-app-intro-slider';
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
buttonCircle: {
width: 40,
height: 40,
backgroundColor: 'rgba(0, 0, 0, .2)',
borderRadius: 20,
justifyContent: 'center',
alignItems: 'center',
},
image: {
width: 320,
height: 320,
}
});
// slides = [...]
export default class App extends React.Component {
_renderNextButton = () => {
return (
<View style={styles.buttonCircle}>
<Ionicons
name="md-arrow-round-forward"
color="rgba(255, 255, 255, .9)"
size={24}
style={{ backgroundColor: 'transparent' }}
/>
</View>
);
}
_renderDoneButton = () => {
return (
<View style={styles.buttonCircle}>
<Ionicons
name="md-checkmark"
color="rgba(255, 255, 255, .9)"
size={24}
style={{ backgroundColor: 'transparent' }}
/>
</View>
);
}
render() {
return (
<AppIntroSlider
slides={slides}
renderDoneButton={this._renderDoneButton}
renderNextButton={this._renderNextButton}
/>
);
}
}
Custom slide layout

import React from 'react';
import { Ionicons } from '@expo/vector-icons';
import { StyleSheet, View, Text, Image } from 'react-native';
import { LinearGradient } from 'expo';
import AppIntroSlider from 'react-native-app-intro-slider';
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
mainContent: {
flex: 1,
alignItems: 'center',
justifyContent: 'space-around',
},
image: {
width: 320,
height: 320,
},
text: {
color: 'rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8)',
backgroundColor: 'transparent',
textAlign: 'center',
paddingHorizontal: 16,
},
title: {
fontSize: 22,
color: 'white',
backgroundColor: 'transparent',
textAlign: 'center',
marginBottom: 16,
}
});
const slides = [
{
key: 'somethun',
title: 'Quick setup, good defaults',
text: 'React-native-app-intro-slider is easy to setup with a small footprint and no dependencies. And it comes with good default layouts!',
icon: 'ios-images-outline',
colors: ['#63E2FF', '#B066FE'],
},
{
key: 'somethun1',
title: 'Super customizable',
text: 'The component is also super customizable, so you can adapt it to cover your needs and wants.',
icon: 'ios-options-outline',
colors: ['#A3A1FF', '#3A3897'],
},
{
key: 'somethun2',
title: 'No need to buy me beer',
text: 'Usage is all free',
icon: 'ios-beer-outline',
colors: ['#29ABE2', '#4F00BC'],
},
];
export default class App extends React.Component {
_renderItem = props => (
<LinearGradient
style={[styles.mainContent, {
paddingTop: props.topSpacer,
paddingBottom: props.bottomSpacer,
width: props.width,
height: props.height,
}]}
colors={props.colors}
start={{x: 0, y: .1}} end={{x: .1, y: 1}}
>
<Ionicons style={{ backgroundColor: 'transparent' }} name={props.icon} size={200} color="white" />
<View>
<Text style={styles.title}>{props.title}</Text>
<Text style={styles.text}>{props.text}</Text>
</View>
</LinearGradient>
);
render() {
return (
<AppIntroSlider
slides={slides}
renderItem={this._renderItem}
bottomButton
/>
);
}
}
Here a custom renderItem is supplied and the bottomButton-props has been set to true. Notice how the setup of slides has been configured to support icons and gradient backgrounds.
