pub package likes GitHub stars License: MIT

A Flutter package for building step-by-step product tours and feature discovery. Highlight any widget on screen, dim everything else, and show an auto-positioned tooltip that walks the user from one feature to the next — ideal for onboarding, "what's new" tours, and contextual help.

It works with a single widget you wrap your screen in, plus one Showcase per target. No state management, no boilerplate: drive the whole tour through a small controller API.

Features #

  • Step-by-step highlighting of any widget with an auto-positioned tooltip.
  • Default tooltip (title + description) or a fully custom tooltip widget.
  • Tooltip on any side — top / bottom / left / right — with full RTL support.
  • Exact-shape highlight — hug a widget's actual painted shape (circle, pill, star, icon, logo) automatically with highlightExactShape.
  • Pulsing highlight ring — an optional animated ring that pings around the target to draw the eye.
  • Tooltip & highlight styling — custom arrow color/size, a colored border around the target, custom scrim color and opacity.
  • Highlight multiple widgets in one step (e.g. a multi-select control).
  • Global tooltip styling with ShowcaseStyle — set it once, not per step.
  • Built-in action buttons (Next / Previous / Stop) with customizable text, icons, and layout.
  • Built-in progress indicator (dots or a 1/6 counter) and a Skip button in the default tooltip.
  • Floating action widget — a screen-anchored control (e.g. a fixed Skip / Next button) shown per step or tour-wide.
  • Auto-play, auto-scroll to off-screen targets, and background blur.
  • Programmatic control: next(), previous(), goTo(), goToKey(), dismiss(), plus live progress (currentIndex, totalSteps).
  • Conditional / branching tours — let a step decide the next step at runtime with onResolveNextStep.
  • Lifecycle callbacks — per-step (onShow / onDismiss) and tour-level (onStart / onComplete / onFinish, plus onDismiss for early close), and configurable background-tap behavior.
  • Run the tour only once for onboarding, and auto-skip steps whose target isn't on screen.
  • Accessibility built in — keyboard navigation (Esc / arrows / Enter) and screen-reader announcements.
  • Target interaction callbacks: tap, double-tap, long-press.
  • Enable/disable the whole tour with a single flag.

Installation #

  1. Add the dependency to your pubspec.yaml:

    dependencies:
      showcase_tutorial: ^1.10.0
    

    Or from the command line:

    flutter pub add showcase_tutorial
    
  2. Import it:

    import 'package:showcase_tutorial/showcase_tutorial.dart';
    

Getting started #

A tour is three small steps: wrap the screen, wrap each target, then start.

1. Wrap your screen (or app) in a ShowCaseWidget.

ShowCaseWidget(
  builder: Builder(builder: (context) => const HomePage()),
);

2. Wrap each target widget in a Showcase with a unique GlobalKey.

final GlobalKey _one = GlobalKey();
final GlobalKey _two = GlobalKey();

Showcase(
  key: _one,
  title: 'Menu',
  description: 'Tap here to open the menu',
  child: const Icon(Icons.menu),
);

Showcase(
  key: _two,
  title: 'Profile',
  description: 'Your account lives here',
  targetShapeBorder: const CircleBorder(),
  child: const CircleAvatar(child: Icon(Icons.person)),
);

3. Start the tour — the order of keys is the order of the steps:

ShowCaseWidget.of(context).startShowCase([_one, _two]);

To start it automatically once the first frame is rendered:

WidgetsBinding.instance.addPostFrameCallback(
  (_) => ShowCaseWidget.of(context).startShowCase([_one, _two]),
);

That's the whole flow. Everything below is optional.

Custom tooltip with Showcase.withWidget #

When the default title/description tooltip isn't enough, build your own with Showcase.withWidget:

Showcase.withWidget(
  key: _three,
  height: 80,
  width: 140,
  targetShapeBorder: const CircleBorder(),
  container: Column(
    crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
    children: const [
      Text('This is a custom tooltip', style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white)),
      SizedBox(height: 8),
      Icon(Icons.touch_app, color: Colors.white),
    ],
  ),
  child: const Icon(Icons.star),
);

Action buttons (Next / Previous / Stop) #

Add navigation buttons to the tooltip with ShowCaseDefaultActions:

Showcase(
  key: _one,
  title: 'Menu',
  description: 'Open the menu',
  actions: const ShowCaseDefaultActions(), // Previous | Stop | Next
  child: const Icon(Icons.menu),
);

Customize each button with ActionButtonConfig:

Showcase(
  key: _one,
  title: 'Menu',
  description: 'Open the menu',
  actions: ShowCaseDefaultActions(
    next: ActionButtonConfig(
      text: 'Next',
      icon: const Icon(Icons.arrow_forward, size: 16),
      textDirection: TextDirection.rtl,
    ),
    previous: const ActionButtonConfig(text: 'Back'),
    stop: const ActionButtonConfig(text: 'Skip'),
  ),
  actionSettings: const ActionsSettings(
    containerColor: Colors.white,
    containerHeight: 40,
  ),
  child: const Icon(Icons.menu),
);

Progress indicator & Skip button #

Add a built-in step indicator and a skip control to the default tooltip — no custom container needed. Both are set once on the ShowCaseWidget and default to off:

ShowCaseWidget(
  showProgress: true,           // show the step indicator
  // dots (default) or a "1/6" counter:
  progressStyle: ShowcaseProgressStyle.numeric,
  showSkip: true,               // a "Skip" button that ends the whole tour
  skipButtonText: 'Skip tour',  // optional, defaults to 'Skip'
  builder: Builder(builder: (context) => const HomePage()),
);

The indicator uses the tooltip's text color and reflects currentIndex / totalSteps. Choose its look with progressStyle: ShowcaseProgressStyle.dots (one dot per step, active step highlighted — the default) or ShowcaseProgressStyle.numeric (a compact 1/6 counter, handy for long tours). This affects the default tooltip only; a custom container tooltip is left untouched.

Floating action widget #

Pin a control to the screen that stays put while the tour runs — a fixed Skip / Next button, a progress chip, a help button — instead of one that moves with each tooltip. You position it yourself (wrap it in an Align or Positioned); it's painted above the tooltip and receives taps.

Set one for the whole tour with globalFloatingActionWidget (a builder, so it can read the tour state via ShowCaseWidget.of(context)):

ShowCaseWidget(
  globalFloatingActionWidget: (context) => Align(
    alignment: Alignment.bottomCenter,
    child: Padding(
      padding: const EdgeInsets.only(bottom: 24),
      child: TextButton(
        onPressed: ShowCaseWidget.of(context).dismiss, // skip the whole tour
        child: const Text('Skip tour'),
      ),
    ),
  ),
  builder: Builder(builder: (context) => const HomePage()),
);

Override it for a single step with Showcase.floatingActionWidget, or hide the global one on specific steps with hideFloatingActionWidgetForShowcase:

ShowCaseWidget(
  globalFloatingActionWidget: (context) => const SkipButton(),
  hideFloatingActionWidgetForShowcase: [lastStepKey], // no Skip on the final step
  builder: ...,
);

Showcase(
  key: stepKey,
  description: 'This step has its own action',
  floatingActionWidget: const Align(
    alignment: Alignment.topRight,
    child: CustomBadge(),
  ),
  child: ...,
);

Resolution per step: Showcase.floatingActionWidget wins; otherwise the globalFloatingActionWidget is used unless the step is listed in hideFloatingActionWidgetForShowcase.

Exact-shape highlight #

By default the highlight is a geometric box you control with targetShapeBorder (e.g. CircleBorder() for a round target). For irregular widgets — a star, a pill, an icon, a logo — set highlightExactShape: true and the highlight hugs the widget's actual painted shape automatically, with no targetShapeBorder to match by hand.

Showcase(
  key: starKey,
  highlightExactShape: true, // highlight follows the star, not a box
  title: 'Favourites',
  description: 'Tap the star to save this item',
  child: const Icon(Icons.star, size: 48, color: Colors.amber),
);

How it works: the target is captured as a snapshot and drawn above the dimmed overlay (the child is wrapped in a RepaintBoundary for you).

Note: while the step is showing, the target is rendered as a static image, so it won't animate or update until the tour moves on. For typical static UI this is invisible. targetShapeBorder / targetBorderRadius are ignored for the highlight when this is on.

Pulsing highlight ring #

For an extra nudge toward the target, set enablePulseAnimation: true to draw an animated ring that pings outward around the highlight — like a sonar ping — in addition to the static cut-out. Tune the look with pulseColor and pulseDuration (one full cycle; smaller is faster).

Showcase(
  key: fabKey,
  enablePulseAnimation: true,
  pulseColor: Colors.amber,                       // defaults to white
  pulseDuration: const Duration(milliseconds: 1200),
  title: 'Compose',
  description: 'Tap here to start a new message',
  child: const Icon(Icons.add),
);

The ring follows the highlight's shape (targetShapeBorder / targetBorderRadius); with highlightExactShape it pulses around the target's bounding box. Set a default color for the whole tour once via ShowCaseWidget(style: ShowcaseStyle(pulseColor: ...)).

Accessibility: when the platform "reduce motion" setting is on, the pulse falls back to a single static ring instead of animating.

Tooltip & highlight styling #

Fine-tune the default tooltip and the highlight without writing a custom container. Style the arrow (arrowColor, arrowWidth, arrowHeight, or hide it with showArrow: false) and draw a colored border around the target (highlightBorderColor, highlightBorderWidth):

Showcase(
  key: inboxKey,
  title: 'Inbox',
  description: 'Your messages live here',
  tooltipBackgroundColor: const Color(0xFF023047),
  textColor: Colors.white,
  // Arrow:
  arrowColor: const Color(0xFFF4A261), // defaults to the tooltip background
  arrowWidth: 26,                      // base, default 18
  arrowHeight: 13,                     // depth, default 9
  // Highlight border (off unless a color is set):
  highlightBorderColor: const Color(0xFFF4A261),
  highlightBorderWidth: 3,
  child: const Icon(Icons.inbox),
);

The border follows the highlight's shape (targetShapeBorder / targetBorderRadius); with highlightExactShape it outlines the bounding box. Set any of these once for the whole tour via ShowcaseStyle, e.g. ShowCaseWidget(style: ShowcaseStyle(arrowColor: ..., highlightBorderColor: ...)).

The per-step overlay (scrim) color is controlled by Showcase.overlayColor and overlayOpacity.

Highlight multiple widgets in one step #

Sometimes one step should highlight several widgets at once — for example a multi-select control, or a few non-adjacent items in a ListView. Pass the extra widgets' keys to Showcase(keys: ...) and wrap each of those widgets in a MultiView (a RepaintBoundary) so a snapshot of it can be drawn above the overlay.

final GlobalKey mainKey = GlobalKey();
final GlobalKey extraOne = GlobalKey();
final GlobalKey extraTwo = GlobalKey();

// The primary target carries the tooltip and lists the extra keys.
Showcase(
  key: mainKey,
  keys: [extraOne, extraTwo],
  description: 'Tap the star to mark important emails',
  child: const MailTile(),
);

// Each extra widget is wrapped so it can be captured.
MultiView(key: extraOne, child: const SomeListItem());
MultiView(key: extraTwo, child: FloatingActionButton(onPressed: () {}));

Note: the extra widgets must currently be in the widget tree (rendered) when the step starts so their keys resolve. A widget that is missing is simply skipped — the remaining ones are still highlighted.

Global styling with ShowcaseStyle #

Instead of repeating the same tooltip styling on every Showcase, set it once on the ShowCaseWidget with ShowcaseStyle. Each Showcase still overrides any value it provides; anything left unset falls back to the style, then to the built-in default.

ShowCaseWidget(
  style: const ShowcaseStyle(
    tooltipBackgroundColor: Color(0xFF023047),
    textColor: Colors.white,
    tooltipBorderRadius: BorderRadius.all(Radius.circular(12)),
  ),
  builder: Builder(builder: (context) => const HomePage()),
);

Resolution order for each value: ShowcaseShowcaseStyle → built-in default.

Run the tour only once #

By default the package stores nothing, so the tour replays every time you call startShowCase. To show it only once (typical onboarding), give the ShowCaseWidget a showcaseId and an onShouldStartShowcase guard, and persist completion yourself in onFinish — with any storage (shared_preferences, Hive, a backend, …):

ShowCaseWidget(
  showcaseId: 'home_v1',
  onShouldStartShowcase: (id) async =>
      !(prefs.getBool(id!) ?? false),       // skip if already seen
  onFinish: () => prefs.setBool('home_v1', true),
  builder: Builder(builder: (context) => const HomePage()),
);

Call startShowCase([...]) as usual — it silently does nothing when the guard returns false. The guard may be synchronous or asynchronous. To force a replay (e.g. a "Show tutorial again" button), pass force: true:

ShowCaseWidget.of(context).startShowCase([_one, _two], force: true);

Auto play #

Advance through all steps automatically:

ShowCaseWidget(
  autoPlay: true,
  autoPlayDelay: const Duration(seconds: 3),
  enableAutoPlayLock: true, // block taps while auto-playing
  builder: Builder(builder: (context) => const HomePage()),
);

Let a single step linger longer (or advance quicker) than the rest with a per-step Showcase.autoPlayDelay, which overrides the tour-wide one:

Showcase(
  key: _details,
  description: 'This one has more to read, so it stays up longer.',
  autoPlayDelay: const Duration(seconds: 6), // overrides the tour-wide delay
  child: const Icon(Icons.info),
);

Programmatic control & progress #

Drive the tour from anywhere you have a BuildContext below the ShowCaseWidget:

ShowCaseWidget.of(context).next();      // go to the next step
ShowCaseWidget.of(context).previous();  // go to the previous step
ShowCaseWidget.of(context).dismiss();   // stop the whole tour

Jump to a specific step and read progress — useful for a "Step 2 of 5" indicator or a skip-to control:

final show = ShowCaseWidget.of(context);
show.goTo(2);                 // jump to a step by index
show.goToKey(profileKey);     // ...or by its GlobalKey
final label = '${(show.currentIndex ?? 0) + 1} of ${show.totalSteps}';
final running = show.isShowcaseRunning;

Listen to the tour lifecycle on ShowCaseWidget:

ShowCaseWidget(
  onStart: (index, key) => debugPrint('started step $index'),
  onComplete: (index, key) => debugPrint('finished step $index'),
  onFinish: () => debugPrint('tour complete'),
  // Fired only when the tour is closed early (barrier-dismiss, Esc, skip,
  // or dismiss()); `key` is the step the user left off on, or null.
  onDismiss: (key) => debugPrint('tour dismissed at $key'),
  builder: Builder(builder: (context) => const HomePage()),
);

onFinish fires when the tour completes normally (advances past the last step); onDismiss fires when it's closed early. Exactly one of them runs per tour. Use onDismiss to measure onboarding drop-off — it tells you which step the user bailed on. (This is the tour-level callback; the per-step Showcase.onDismiss fires for every step the tour leaves.)

Conditional / branching tours #

Let a step decide the next step at runtime so the tour can skip ahead or branch based on app state. Set onResolveNextStep on ShowCaseWidget: it's called whenever the tour advances forward and returns the GlobalKey of the step to jump to (one of the keys passed to startShowCase), or null to advance to the normal next step.

ShowCaseWidget(
  onResolveNextStep: (currentIndex, currentKey) {
    // e.g. if the user already has items, skip the "add to cart" step
    // and jump straight to checkout.
    if (currentKey == cartKey && userHasItems) return checkoutKey;
    return null; // otherwise advance normally
  },
  builder: Builder(builder: (context) => const HomePage()),
);

The resolver is honored by every forward path — the Next button, a tap on the target or tooltip, the barrier, the keyboard, auto-play, and next(). The returned step may be ahead of or behind the current one, and a branch is treated as an explicit jump (like goTo), so autoSkipUnmountedSteps is not applied to the target. previous(), goTo(), and goToKey() ignore the resolver.

Target interactions #

Respond to gestures on the highlighted widget. onTargetClick requires disposeOnTap to be set:

Showcase(
  key: _one,
  description: 'Tap to open details',
  disposeOnTap: true,
  onTargetClick: () => Navigator.pushNamed(context, '/details'),
  onTargetDoubleTap: () => debugPrint('double tapped'),
  onTargetLongPress: () => debugPrint('long pressed'),
  child: const Icon(Icons.info),
);

Step lifecycle callbacks #

Each Showcase can report when it becomes visible and when it's left — handy for analytics or per-step side effects:

Showcase(
  key: _one,
  title: 'Menu',
  description: 'Open the menu',
  onShow: () => analytics.log('tour_step_shown', {'step': 'menu'}),
  onDismiss: () => analytics.log('tour_step_left', {'step': 'menu'}),
  child: const Icon(Icons.menu),
);

onShow fires when the step becomes the active showcase; onDismiss fires when it stops being active — advanced past, navigated away, or the whole tour ended.

Background (barrier) tap behavior #

By default, tapping the dimmed background advances to the next step. Change it with barrierInteraction:

ShowCaseWidget(
  barrierInteraction: BarrierInteraction.dismiss, // tap background → end tour
  // BarrierInteraction.next    → advance (default)
  // BarrierInteraction.none    → ignore background taps
  builder: Builder(builder: (context) => const HomePage()),
);

Shortcut: disableBarrierInteraction: true is equivalent to BarrierInteraction.none.

To run your own code on a background tap — a hint nudge, a sound, analytics — add onBarrierClick. It fires on every barrier tap in addition to the configured barrierInteraction, and runs even when interaction is .none:

ShowCaseWidget(
  barrierInteraction: BarrierInteraction.none, // tap doesn't advance/dismiss…
  onBarrierClick: () => debugPrint('user tapped outside the highlight'), // …but you still hear about it
  builder: Builder(builder: (context) => const HomePage()),
);

Accessibility & keyboard navigation #

The active step is keyboard-navigable and announced to screen readers out of the box (both default to on):

ShowCaseWidget(
  enableKeyboardNavigation: true,   // default
  enableAutoAnnouncements: true,    // default
  builder: Builder(builder: (context) => const HomePage()),
);

Keyboard (web/desktop; harmless on mobile):

Key Action
/ / Enter Next step
/ Previous step
Esc Dismiss the tour

Keyboard handling is focus-scoped: it only acts while the showcase overlay holds focus, so it never hijacks keys from the rest of your app.

Screen readers: each step's title and description are announced via TalkBack / VoiceOver as it becomes active. Override the spoken text per step (handy for a custom container tooltip with no title/description):

Showcase(
  key: _logo,
  semanticLabel: 'Your company logo. Double tap to go home.',
  child: const FlutterLogo(),
);

Blur the background #

// For all steps:
ShowCaseWidget(blurValue: 2, builder: ...);

// Or per step:
Showcase(blurValue: 2, key: _one, description: '...', child: ...);

Tooltip position #

Force the tooltip to a side of the target with TooltipPosition.top, .bottom, .left, or .right (defaults to whichever vertical space is available):

Showcase(
  key: _one,
  description: 'Shown to the right of the target',
  tooltipPosition: TooltipPosition.right,
  child: const Icon(Icons.menu),
);

left / right use the default title/description tooltip; custom container tooltips and action buttons keep top/bottom placement.

Add extra space between the target and the tooltip with targetTooltipGap (logical pixels, default 0). It applies to every side:

Showcase(
  key: _one,
  description: 'Sits a little further from the target',
  targetTooltipGap: 16,
  child: const Icon(Icons.menu),
);

Keep the tooltip clear of the screen edges with toolTipMargin (default EdgeInsets.all(20)). The tooltip is clamped to stay at least this far from each edge, and its size is capped to fit within the margins — useful to leave room for a status bar, notch, or your own fixed UI:

Showcase(
  key: _one,
  description: 'Stays clear of the edges',
  toolTipMargin: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 24, vertical: 48),
  child: const Icon(Icons.menu),
);

Skip off-screen steps #

If some showcased widgets are rendered conditionally, enable autoSkipUnmountedSteps so steps whose target isn't currently in the widget tree are skipped automatically instead of showing an empty overlay:

ShowCaseWidget(
  autoSkipUnmountedSteps: true,
  builder: Builder(builder: (context) => const HomePage()),
);

Right-to-left (RTL) #

The tooltip inherits the ambient text direction, so RTL text (e.g. Arabic) is measured and laid out correctly when your app is RTL — no extra configuration needed.

Enable or disable globally #

ShowCaseWidget(
  enableShowcase: false, // every Showcase just renders its child, no overlay
  builder: Builder(builder: (context) => const HomePage()),
);

Auto-scrolling caveat #

Set enableAutoScroll: true to scroll an off-screen target into view before its step starts. This does not work reliably in scroll views that build children on demand (e.g. ListView, GridView), because the target widget may not be attached to the tree when the tour reaches that step.

Control where the target lands with scrollAlignment (a fraction of the scroll axis: 0.0 = leading edge, 0.5 = centered, 1.0 = trailing edge). Set it tour-wide on ShowCaseWidget (default 0.5) and override it per step with Showcase.scrollAlignment:

ShowCaseWidget(
  enableAutoScroll: true,
  scrollAlignment: 0.1, // rest targets near the top of the viewport
  builder: Builder(builder: (context) => const HomePage()),
);

// ...and per step:
Showcase(
  key: _key,
  scrollAlignment: 0.5, // this step centers instead
  description: 'Centered when scrolled into view',
  child: child,
);

If you have a small number of children, prefer SingleChildScrollView. Otherwise, assign a ScrollController and scroll to the target manually inside onStart:

final _controller = ScrollController();

ShowCaseWidget(
  onStart: (index, key) {
    if (index == 0) {
      WidgetsBinding.instance.addPostFrameCallback((_) {
        // Scroll to where the showcased widget is rendered (nearest
        // position works too — e.g. 990 instead of 1000).
        _controller.jumpTo(1000);
      });
    }
  },
  builder: Builder(builder: (context) => const HomePage()),
);
