Driver.js
Driver.js is a browser-based library designed for creating interactive product tours and guided walkthroughs. It provides a framework for building step-by-step instructional sequences that help users navigate complex application interfaces, facilitating onboarding and feature discovery.
The library distinguishes itself through its state-driven orchestration, which manages the sequence of steps and transition logic for guided tours. It utilizes a full-screen overlay layer to capture user interactions and isolate specific interface components, employing visual masking techniques to dim surrounding content and direct user attention to critical elements.
The project includes a comprehensive set of tools for calculating element positions and handling events, ensuring that highlights remain accurately aligned with the underlying page structure. These capabilities allow developers to construct focused, interactive sessions that minimize distractions and provide contextual guidance directly within the browser.
