# Onboarding Walkthrough Overview

The **Onboarding Walkthrough** module is a comprehensive guide designed to provide new users or administrators with a structured introduction to the system or application they are joining. This module ensures that all key features, functionalities, and best practices are clearly explained in an easy-to-follow format.

## Purpose
The primary purpose of this module is to streamline the onboarding process for both new users and administrators. It serves as a single source of truth, guiding individuals through the essential steps required to navigate and utilize the system effectively. By reducing ambiguity and confusion during the initial phase, this module helps new users feel confident in their ability to perform their roles.

## Benefits
- **Faster Onboarding:** Minimizes the time needed for new users or administrators to become proficient with the system.
- **Consistent Experience:** Ensures that everyone follows the same steps and learns the system in a uniform manner, regardless of their background or experience level.
- **Reduced Errors:** By providing clear guidance, this module helps minimize mistakes during the onboarding process.
- **Improved Productivity:** Enables new users to start contributing effectively from day one by eliminating unnecessary trial-and-error learning.

## Usage Scenarios
The **Onboarding Walkthrough** module is particularly useful in the following scenarios:
1. **User Onboarding:** Introducing new team members or external collaborators to the system's core functionalities.
2. **Administrator Training:** Guiding administrators through essential tasks, such as system configuration, user management, and security protocols.
3. **System Migration:** Helping users transition smoothly when migrating to a new version of the software or adopting a completely new system.
4. **Self-Learning:** Serving as a self-contained resource for developers or users looking to understand the system without direct mentorship.

By leveraging this module, organizations can ensure that all stakeholders are well-prepared and equipped to contribute effectively from the moment they begin their journey with the system.

## Step-by-Step Introductory Process  
The module provides a structured sequence of screens or pages that guide new users or admins through essential tasks and features of the system. This ensures a smooth transition for first-time users, reducing confusion and accelerating productivity.

## Role-Based Customization  
Content displayed in the walkthrough is tailored based on the user's role (e.g., regular user vs. admin). This ensures that each user sees relevant information and tasks specific to their responsibilities within the system.

## Progress Tracking  
The module tracks the user’s progress through completion percentages or checkmarks, providing visual feedback on how far they’ve come and what remains. This encourages users to continue and gives them a sense of achievement as they complete steps.

## Conditional Logic  
Walkthrough content adapts dynamically based on user input or system state. For example, if a user skips a step or selects an option, the module adjusts subsequent screens to reflect this choice, ensuring a personalized experience.

## Integration with User Roles  
The walkthrough integrates seamlessly with user role management, displaying features and instructions relevant to the user's permissions. Admins receive detailed guidance on managing system settings, while regular users focus on primary functionalities.

## Interactive Elements  
Users can interact with elements like tooltips, pop-ups, or buttons within the walkthrough, making the process engaging. For instance, users might click a button to dive deeper into a feature’s functionality or ask questions directly from the guide.

        e.preventDefault();
        setLoading(true);
        setError(null);

        try {
            const response = await fetch('/auth/register', {
                method: 'POST',
                headers: {
                    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
                },
                body: JSON.stringify(formData)
            });

            if (!response.ok) {
                throw new Error('Registration failed');
            }

            const data = await response.json();
            alert(data.message);
        } catch (err) {
            setError(err.message);
        } finally {
            setLoading(false);
        }
    };

    return (
        <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
            <div>
                <label>Email:</label>
                <input
                    type="email"
                    value={formData.email}
                    onChange={(e) => setFormData({...formData, email: e.target.value})}
                />
            </div>
            <div>
                <label>Password:</label>
                <input
                    type="password"
                    value={formData.password}
                    onChange={(e) => setFormData({...formData, password: e.target.value})}
                />
            </div>
            <div>
                <label>Name:</label>

                    type="text"
                    value={formData.name}
                    onChange={(e) => setFormData({...formData, name: e.target.value})}
                />
            </div>
            <button type="submit" disabled={loading}>
                {loading ? 'Registering...' : 'Complete Onboarding'}
            </button>
            {error && <p style={{color: 'red'}}>{error}</p>}
        </form>
    );
};

export default OnboardingForm;

3. Data Schema

3.1 User Registration Schema (Pydantic)

from pydantic import BaseModel, EmailStr, validator
import re

class UserCreate(BaseModel):
    email: EmailStr
    password: str
    name: str

    @validator('password')
    def validate_password(cls, value):
        if len(value) < 8:
            raise ValueError("Password must be at least 8 characters long")
        if not re.search(r'[A-Z]', value):
            raise ValueError("Password must contain at least one uppercase letter")
        return value

Usage Examples

1. Registering a new user via FastAPI endpoint

curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/auth/register" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"email":"newuser@example.com", "password":"SecurePassword123!", "name":"John Doe"}'

2. Handling Onboarding in React

// Example usage in a React component
const App = () => {
    return (
        <div>
            <h1>Onboarding Walkthrough</h1>
            <OnboardingForm />
        </div>
    );
};
