Chardin.js

Simple overlay instructions for your apps.

Check out a demo.

Chardin.js is a jQuery plugin that creates a simple overlay to display instructions on existent elements. It is inspired by
the recent Gmail new composer tour which I loved.

If you choose to fork the repo you can build the assets running

rake compile

Adding data for the instructions

Add the instructions to your elements:

data-intro: Text to show with the instructions
data-position: (left, top, right, bottom), where to place the text with respect to the element

`HTML

`

Running

Once you have your elements ready you can show instructions running

`Javascript
$('body').chardinJs('start')
`

If you would rather run ChardinJs confined to a particular container (instead of using the whole document) you can
change body to some other selector.

`Javascript
$('.container').chardinJs('start')
``

Start ChardinJs in the selector.

$3

Toggle ChardinJs.

Make your best guess. That's right! Stops ChardinJs in the selector.
