Here's a quick example taken from the project readme on using this package to create onboarding steps:

use App\User;
use Spatie\Onboard\Facades\Onboard;
 
// You can add onboarding steps in a `boot()` method within a service provider
Onboard::addStep('Complete Profile')
    ->link('/profile')
    ->cta('Complete')
    ->completeIf(function (User $user) {
        return $user->profile->isComplete();
    });
 
Onboard::addStep('Create Your First Post')
    ->link('/post/create')
    ->cta('Create Post')
    ->completeIf(function (User $user) {
        return $user->posts->count() > 0;
    });

To get a user's onboarding status—among other things—the package has a nice API for accessing things like percentage complete, in progress, finished, and details about individual steps:

/** @var \Spatie\Onboard\OnboardingManager $onboarding **/
$onboarding = Auth::user()->onboarding();
 
$onboarding->inProgress();
 
$onboarding->percentageCompleted();
 
$onboarding->finished();
 
$onboarding->steps()->each(function($step) {
    $step->title;
    $step->cta;
    $step->link;
    $step->complete();
    $step->incomplete();
});

Additionally, this package supports features such as:

Conditionally excluding steps with custom logic
Defining custom attributes on a step
Use middleware to ensure a user completes onboarding before they are allowed to use certain features
And more
