| Name | Type | Description | Default | 
|---|---|---|---|
| name | String | This option is used to build the name of the storage item where the tour state is stored. The name should contain only alphanumerics, underscores and hyphens. You can initialize several tours with different names in the same page and application. | 'tour' | 
| steps | Array | A list of object representing the steps to be included in the tour. Jump to Step options for the single step API. | [] | 
| container | String | Appends the step popover to a specific element. See Usage section of Popover. | 'body' |

| autoscroll | Boolean | Autoscrolls the window when the step popover is out of view. | true | 
| keyboard | Boolean | This option set the left and right arrow navigation. | true | 
| storage | Object | The storage system you want to use. Could be the objects window.localStorage,
          window.sessionStorage or your own object. You can set this option as falseto disable storage
          persistence (the tour starts from beginning every time the page is

| redirect | Boolean|Function | Set a custom function to execute as redirect function.
          The default redirect relies on the traditional document.location.href | true | 
| orphan | Boolean|String|function | Allow to show the step regardless whether its element is not set, is not present in the page or is hidden. The step is fixed positioned in the middle of the page. | false | 
| duration NEW | Boolean|Number | Set a expiration time for the steps. When the current step expires, the next step is automatically shown. See it as a sort of guided, automatized tour functionality. The value is specified in milliseconds | false | 
| delay NEW | Boolean|Number | Specifies a delay for the showing and hiding the tour steps.
          It can be: 
 | 0 | 
| basePath | String | Specify a default base path prepended to the pathoption of every single
          step. Very useful if you need to reuse the same tour on different
          environments or sub-projects. | '' | 
| template | String|Function | String or function that returns a string of the HTML template for
          the popovers. If you pass a Function, two parameters are available:
          i is the position of step in the tour and
          step is the an object that contains all the other step
          options. From version 0.5, the navigation template is included inside the template so you can easily rewrite it. However, Bootstrap Tour maps the previous, next and end logics to the elements which have the related data-roleattribute. Therefore, you can also have multiple elements with the samedata-roleattribute. | {% highlight javascript %}
" | 
| afterGetState, afterSetState, afterRemoveState | Function | You may want to do something right after Bootstrap Tour read, write or remove
          the state. Just pass functions to these. Your functions can have two parameters:

| Name | Type | Description | Default | 
|---|---|---|---|
| path | String or RegExp | Path to the page on which the step should be shown. This allows you to build tours that span several pages! | '' | 
| host NEW | String or RegExp | Host of the page on which the step should be shown. This allows you to build tours for several sub-domains | '' | 
| element | String (jQuery selector) | HTML element on which the step popover should be shown. If orphan is false, this option is required. | '' | 
| placement | String|Function | How to position the popover. Possible choices: 'top','bottom','left','right','auto'.
          When "auto" is specified, it will dynamically reorient the popover.

          The default redirect relies on the traditional document.location.href | true | 
| reflex UPDATED | Boolean|String | Enable the reflex mode: attach an handler on clickon the step element to continue the tour.In order to bind the handler to a custom event, you can pass a string with its name.

          not present in the page or is hidden. The step is fixed
          positioned in the middle of the page. You can use a string or function that returns a string of the HTML template for the orphan popovers | false | 
| duration NEW | Boolean|String | Set a expiration time for the steps. When the step expires, the next step is automatically shown. See it as a sort of guided, automatized tour functionality. The value is specified in milliseconds | false | 
| template | String|Function | String or function that returns a string of the HTML template for
          the popovers. If you pass a Function, two parameters are available:
          i is the position of step in the tour and

Bootstrap Tour can be used to create tours that span multiple pages. If you have URLs for each page that have unique paths, and the dependencies are loaded on each page, you can easily create a tour like so:
{% highlight javascript %} var tour = new Tour({ steps: [ { element: "#my-element", title: "Title of my step", content: "Content of my step" }, { element: "#my-other-element", title: "Title of my step", content: "Content of my step", path: "/url/to/go/to/" } ] }); {% endhighlight %}It's that simple.
If you do not know the URL you wish to go to because it contains a different value per user or per
            instance, you can use a regular expression as the path attribute and set the redirect
            attribute to a function that performs the redirect.
        
For example:
{% highlight javascript %} var tour = new Tour({ steps: [ { element: "#my-element", title: "Title of my step", content: "Content of my step", redirect: function(){ document.location.href = '/url/' + userId; }; }, { element: "#my-other-element", title: "Title of my step", content: "Content of my step", path: RegExp("\/url\/[^/]+", "i") } ] }); {% endhighlight %}Finally, if you are only using GET parameters to define different pages, and wish to redirect using those
            parameters, you may run into the problem that Bootstrap Tour will consider the path of the two steps to be
            identical. For example, you cannot use the path parameter to go from your homepage at / to a
            search results page at /?q=foo, because from Bootstrap Tour's perspective, those are the same
            location (/).
        
To work around this limitation, you can set the onNext attribute a function that returns a
            promise.
For example:
{% highlight javascript %} var tour = new Tour({ steps: [ { element: "#my-element", title: "Title of my step", content: "Content of my step", onNext: function(){ document.location.href = '/?q=foo'; return (new jQuery.Deferred()).promise(); }; }, { element: "#my-other-element", title: "Title of my step", content: "Content of my step", } ] }); {% endhighlight %}Doing this will prevent the next step from popping up while the redirect is being completed in the
            onNext function.
